Rent a caravan or camper anywhere in KwaZulu-Natal, directly from its owner

KZN packs a lot into one province. You've got the Drakensberg for mountain camping, the Midlands for a lazy weekend, the warm Durban coastline, and St Lucia where hippos wander through town at night. Kampi has caravan rentals in KZN from owners who know these routes well. A long weekend in the Midlands is easy. A week-long trip up to iSimangaliso Wetland Park is worth every kilometre. The province also has Hluhluwe-iMfolozi (Big Five, and where the rhino was saved) and the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

10 campers available on Kampi in KwaZulu-Natal.

About KwaZulu-Natal

The Drakensberg runs along KZN's western border. Cathedral Peak, Royal Natal, Giant's Castle, and Champagne Valley are all worth a visit, and most have caravan-friendly camps. The Midlands Meander (Howick, Nottingham Road, Mooi River) is a relaxed drive with craft shops, waterfalls, and good campsites along the way. The North Coast (Ballito, Salt Rock) and South Coast (Margate, Port Edward) are classic holiday spots. But the real gem is St Lucia and iSimangaliso, hippos in the estuary, crocs, whale watching in season, and bird life that'll keep you busy for days. Hluhluwe-iMfolozi is about 3 hours north of Durban.

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.
Where can I find caravan rental in Durban?
Check the KZN listings, there are campers in the greater Durban area and the Midlands. Search by city to find one near your starting point.
What is the Drakensberg like for caravanning?
Really good. Roads to most resorts are tarred and fine for a standard caravan. Giants Castle, Cathedral Peak, and Lotheni all have proper camping facilities. The scenery alone is worth the drive, wake up to mountain views every morning.
When is the best time to visit KZN in a caravan?
The coast is warm year-round, so Durban and St Lucia work any time. For the Drakensberg, spring (Sep-Nov) and autumn (Mar-May) are best, mild days, cool nights. Summer afternoons bring proper thunderstorms in the mountains, so plan your hikes for mornings.
Can I drive to St Lucia with a caravan?
No problem. The N2 north from Durban to St Lucia (about 280km) is tarred all the way. iSimangaliso has caravan sites at the St Lucia Estuary, just book ahead in peak season.
