Caravan Hire in Kimberley

Kimberley is one of those towns that still feels like the old South Africa, wide streets, big skies, and the famous Big Hole where the diamond rush started. It sits at the crossroads of routes heading to Namaqualand, the Kalahari, and the Karoo, so it's a natural overnight stop for long-haul caravan trips. The Northern Cape is big and empty, which is exactly the point, dark skies for stargazing, nobody around for miles, proper silence. Kampi lists campers from Northern Cape owners who are used to the province's long distances between towns.

About Kimberley

The N12 north goes to Warrenton and eventually the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (5 hours), a proper wilderness drive. The N8 west takes you through Griquatown and on toward Springbok and Namaqualand. South-west on the N10, it's Britstown and then Beaufort West. Don't skip Mokala National Park, just 80km south, it's quiet, has rhino and buffalo, and the caravan facilities are well kept. Kimberley's own caravan parks have power and are handy for an overnight before heading deeper into the province.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the price on Kampi actually cover?
What you pay is the owner's rate for the camper plus Kampi's service fee for handling the booking and the payment. Where a camper carries Kampi cover, that cover costs R89 a day; not every camper carries it, some owners carry their own instead, and the camper's own page says which. There is no once-off admin fee. That was Kampi's pricing before 1 July 2026, and a booking made before that date can still show it. Most owners also add a once-off cleaning fee, and every owner asks for a refundable damage deposit. The camper's own page shows both, and what your dates come to, before you send a request.
How are the rental days counted?
Every day of the trip is charged, including the day you collect the camper and the day you bring it back. A Friday to Sunday trip is three days, not two, because both the collection day and the return day count.
When does the money actually move?
On most campers, nothing is charged when you send a request. You only pay once the owner approves it, and owners have 3 days to answer. A few campers are set up for instant booking instead and charge as soon as you book, the camper's own page says which. Either way, you pay Kampi online, never the owner directly.
Do I need a special licence to tow it?
Not necessarily. Up to 750kg you can tow on an ordinary Code B licence, the same one most drivers already have. Over that you need a Code EB. Every camper's page says which one it needs, and Kampi has a whole page of campers that need no EB at all.
What if I need to cancel, or something goes wrong?
Cancel a request before you have paid and nothing is owed, because nothing was ever charged. Once you have paid, cancelling before the trip starts means a non-refundable booking fee of up to R189 may apply, and the rest is refunded according to the camper's policy. Cancelling once the trip has started, or on a listing with no cancellation policy set, refunds nothing at all: not the rate, not the cleaning fee, not the cover. The camper's own page shows its exact cancellation policy before you book, and it is worth reading before you pay.
Who am I actually renting from?
A private owner, not a franchise or a depot. Sending a request opens a message thread with them under their name, so you can talk before you pay anything. Their phone number and the exact pickup address open up once you have paid, not at the moment they approve. You collect the camper from them in person. Most owners have had an ID document, proof of address and the camper's papers approved by Kampi before their listing went live, though not every one of them has. There is no corporate credit or background check beyond that. What else stands behind them is the reviews they have earned on Kampi.
What is there to do near Kimberley?
The Big Hole museum is a must, it's genuinely impressive when you stand at the edge. Mokala National Park (80km south) is quiet and great for families. The Gariep River area has good camping too. In August-September, the wildflower route to Namaqualand via the N8 is worth the detour.
Is Kimberley on the way to Namaqualand?
It's a common overnight stop if you're driving from Joburg or Gauteng to Namaqualand. The N8 from Kimberley to Springbok is 530km (about 6 hours) through dry, open Karoo country, fill up with fuel and water before you go.
How far is Kimberley from Johannesburg?
About 470km on the N12, so 4.5 hours. You can also come via the N1 to Three Sisters and then east, or the N14 through Vryburg if you're coming from the North West side.
What camper types are available in Kimberley?
Check the Kimberley page on Kampi for what's available. Northern Cape campers tend to be set up for long distances and dry conditions. Kalahari and Karoo territory.
