Rent a caravan or camper in Rustenburg, directly from its owner
Rustenburg sits in the foothills of the Magaliesberg, the closest proper town to Pilanesberg and Sun City, and near enough to Johannesburg that it is a weekend rather than a holiday. Pilanesberg gives you Big Five game viewing without the drive to Kruger, and the Magaliesberg itself is full of places to put a trailer down for a night and get a fire going. What is listed here is a short list, from light trailers to touring caravans, so check your dates early and open the North West page alongside this one if nothing fits.
1 camper available on Kampi in Rustenburg.
About Rustenburg
The R565 runs straight to Pilanesberg and Sun City, about 45 minutes. The Magaliesberg range goes east towards Hartbeespoort, also about 45 minutes, and west towards Groot Marico at an hour and a half. Johannesburg is roughly an hour and a half on the R24 and R104, Pretoria about two hours. If you want something bigger, Madikwe on the Botswana border is three hours north. Inside Pilanesberg, the Bakgatla and Manyane resorts both have caravan stands with power, and Manyane is the larger of the two.
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.
- How far is Rustenburg from Pilanesberg?
- About 45km north on the R565, so 45 minutes' drive. Bakgatla Resort and Manyane Resort inside the park both have caravan stands. Manyane is the bigger one.
- Is the Magaliesberg accessible from Rustenburg?
- Very much so. The range runs just south of town. The R560 through to Hartbeespoort is a great day drive, mountain passes, hiking trails, and farm stalls selling biltong and boerewors along the way.
- How far is Rustenburg from Johannesburg?
- About 120km, roughly 1.5 hours on the N4 and R30. Lots of Joburg families head this way on weekends for Pilanesberg or a Magaliesberg campsite.
- What camper types are available in Rustenburg?
- A short list rather than a long one, and it moves as owners come and go, so check what is free on your dates and open the North West page if nothing here fits. Each camper's page says how many it sleeps and whether it wants a Code B or a Code EB licence.
