Rent a caravan or camper near Stellenbosch, directly from its owner

Stellenbosch is oak trees, wine farms in every direction and one more flat white before you leave. It is 45km from Cape Town, so you are close to the city and already properly in the country, with Franschhoek, Paarl and the Helderberg all inside half an hour and the Garden Route waiting east over Sir Lowry's Pass. What is listed here is a short list, light trailers and touring caravans, so check your dates early and open the Cape Town and Western Cape pages alongside this one: the deeper pool of campers is over the mountain rather than in the town itself.

1 camper available on Kampi in Stellenbosch.

About Stellenbosch

The R310 over Helshoogte Pass reaches Franschhoek in 30 minutes: winding, well surfaced and fine with a caravan if you are not in a hurry. The R44 south runs to Gordon's Bay and the Kogelberg coast in 45 minutes and is some of the best driving in the country. East on the N2 over Sir Lowry's and you are on the Garden Route, Mossel Bay at three and a half hours, Knysna at five. North on the R44 it is Paarl in half an hour and Wellington beyond it. Stellenbosch Mountain has hiking on the doorstep, and there are campsites close enough to make it an overnight.

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 take a caravan to Stellenbosch wine farms?
You can visit most wine farms during the day, but overnight caravan camping on the farms themselves isn't common. Best bet is to park at a Stellenbosch or Somerset West caravan park and drive to the farms from there.
How far is Stellenbosch from Cape Town?
About 45km, so 45 minutes on the N2 and R310. Easy day trip from Cape Town, or a good first overnight before you head east on the Garden Route.
Is the Helshoogte Pass accessible to caravans?
Yes, most caravans handle it fine. It's winding but the road surface is good. If you've got a bigger rig though, you might prefer the R45 via Paarl, it's flatter and less twisty.
What camper types are available near Stellenbosch?
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 Cape Town and Western Cape pages 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.
