Rent a caravan or camper for Gqeberha and the Eastern Cape, directly from its owner

No owner has a caravan or camper listed in Gqeberha itself at the moment. That is worth saying plainly rather than showing you an empty page: the closest owners are out towards Jeffreys Bay and up the coast at East London. The Eastern Cape page shows every camper the province has, and the moment an owner lists in Gqeberha it appears here too. Which is a pity, because the town is a good base and always was. Addo is 45 minutes north, the Baviaanskloof about two hours, Tsitsikamma inside 90 minutes, and the beachfront and the roads out of it are the easy part of any Eastern Cape trip.

About Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha)

Read this as trip planning rather than as stock: the campers are elsewhere in the province, and these are the roads you would drive once you have one. Addo is the big one, 72km north and the closest Big Five park, with caravan sites at the rest camp. The N2 west through Humansdorp reaches Storms River in about 90 minutes and hands you the Garden Route. Inland on the N10 and N9 you are in the Karoo, Graaff-Reinet at 220km. East on the N2 through East London and up to Port St Johns is the Wild Coast, a multi-day drive and worth every day of it. Jeffreys Bay is 75km west, with surf and solid camping, and it is also where the nearest owners are.

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 Gqeberha?
Not at the moment: no owner has one listed in Gqeberha itself. The closest are out towards Jeffreys Bay and up the coast at East London, and the Eastern Cape page shows everything the province has. This page still holds because Gqeberha 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 an Eastern Cape camper instead?
Start on the Eastern Cape page, which carries every live listing in the province rather than only the ones in one town. If nothing there suits your dates, the Garden Route side of the Western Cape is the next pool along, and George is roughly 300km west on the N2.
Is Gqeberha close to Addo?
Very: 72km north, about 45 to 50 minutes. Addo Rest Camp has caravan sites with power points and decent ablutions, and it fills up in school holidays, so book through SANParks early.
What is the Baviaanskloof like for camping?
Proper wilderness. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a 4x4 route through the mountains, and Doringhoek campsite is basic, so do not count on hot water. Most of the route wants 4x4 or at least high clearance, and whether a camper is up to it is a question for its owner in the message thread before you book.
How far is Gqeberha from the Garden Route?
Storms River and Tsitsikamma are about 180km west, two hours on the N2. Plettenberg Bay is 210km, Knysna 280km. The N2 is a good road the whole way and handles any caravan.
