Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I pick up a camper for the Heritage Day long weekend?
Most Kampi owners near your destination 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 the Heritage Day long weekend, 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.
