Craven Week 2026 - Base Camp

Craven Week 2026 - Base Camp

Craven Week is SA Rugby's biggest schoolboy tournament, held in a new host town every year. A Kampi camper means you can travel as a family and be close to the action.

About Craven Week

Craven Week is one of the anchor events on the South African camping calendar. It usually runs in July in the host town. Accommodation fills up fast, and campers win on two fronts. You stay close to the action, and you skip hotel prices.

Why rent a camper for Craven Week?

Kampi owners often drop the camper at the campsite for you, so no towing experience is needed. Insurance is included from R89 per day. Every owner is verified and every booking is covered. You get a comfortable bed, a kitchen, and privacy in a quiet corner of the site.

Book early

The best units are booked weeks in advance. Search on Kampi, pick your dates, and send the owner a request. You get a reply within 48 hours and pay online through PayFast once the booking is approved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I pick up a camper for Craven Week?
Most Kampi owners near the host town offer delivery to the campsite, or pickup from their own yard. Each listing shows available collection options and the hourly rate if delivery is involved.
Do I need an EB license?
Not always. Many camping trailers and off-road trailers on Kampi weigh under 750 kg and can be towed with a standard Code B license. Every listing shows the required license type.
What does the R89 per day insurance cover?
Third-party liability, vehicle damage, theft, and personal accident. A refundable security deposit applies per booking and is handled by Kampi, not the owner.
How far in advance should I book?
For Craven Week, aim for four to eight weeks ahead. Popular off-road trailers and family campers sell out first. Midweek dates are easier to secure.
Can I cancel if my plans change?
Cancellation rules are set per owner. Most allow free cancellation up to 7 days before check-in. The R189 admin fee is non-refundable once a booking is approved.
