Rent a caravan or camper for Kimberley and the Northern Cape, directly from its owner

No owner has a caravan or camper listed in Kimberley itself at the moment. That is worth saying plainly rather than showing you an empty page: the Northern Cape's owners are out at Upington, 400km west, and the closest collection point with campers on it is Bloemfontein, about 170km east on the N8. The Northern Cape page shows every camper the province has, and the moment an owner lists in Kimberley it appears here too. The town is worth the stop regardless: wide streets, big skies, the Big Hole, and the crossroads of every route into the Kalahari, Namaqualand and the Karoo.

About Kimberley

Read this as trip planning rather than as stock: the campers are elsewhere, and these are the roads once you have one. The N12 north runs through Warrenton and eventually reaches Kgalagadi at about five hours, which is real wilderness driving and wants a full tank and full water. The N8 west goes through Griquatown towards Springbok and Namaqualand, 530km and roughly six hours of dry, open country. South-west on the N10 you have Britstown and then Beaufort West. Closer in, Mokala National Park is 80km south, quiet, with rhino and buffalo and well-kept caravan facilities. Kimberley's own caravan parks have power and make an easy overnight before the long legs start.

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.
Can I collect a camper in Kimberley?
Not at the moment: no owner has one listed in Kimberley itself. The Northern Cape's owners are out at Upington, and the closest collection point with campers on it is Bloemfontein, about 170km east on the N8. The Northern Cape page shows everything the province has. This page still holds because Kimberley is a good place to be heading for or through, and the moment an owner lists here it appears on it.
Where do I look for a Northern Cape camper instead?
Start on the Northern Cape page, which carries every live listing in the province rather than only the ones in one town. If nothing there suits your dates, Bloemfontein is the nearest town with campers on it and the N8 between the two is two hours of easy tar.
What is there to do near Kimberley?
The Big Hole is genuinely startling when you stand at the edge of it. Mokala National Park, 80km south, is quiet and works well with children. The Gariep River has good camping. In August and September the flower route west on the N8 towards Namaqualand is worth building a trip around.
Is Kimberley on the way to Namaqualand?
It is the standard overnight stop coming from Gauteng. The N8 from here to Springbok is 530km, about six hours through dry, open Karoo, and the towns in between are small. Fill up with fuel and water before you leave rather than counting on finding either.
How far is Kimberley from Johannesburg?
About 470km on the N12, so four and a half hours. You can also come down the N1 to Three Sisters and cut east, or take the N14 through Vryburg if you are starting from the North West side.
