Hoada Camp Site

We had the 2 night rhino tracking sleepout at the camp booked (and suggested) by a travel agency. It was the most amazing experience. We spent two nights with a wonderful team of a host, a guide, and a cook who took great care of us while introducing us to the beauty of Damaraland's people and nature. We learnt a lot about the history of the region and work done by the local conservancy to support the community. We saw rhinos and giraffes, and an elephant but I was mostly amazed by the friendly people.

We stayed at Hoada camp in August of 2025 and really enjoyed it. The campsites are beautiful as advertised, hidden among the boulders. The campsite we had was large and private. The hot water worked well for showers and kitchen, the toilet was a luxury - everything is well set up and maintained. We did the farm hike which was really interesting - my kids (12 & 16) said it was a highlight of the trip for them. The only issue was the gnats. Starting around noon until sunset we had gnats constantly around our faces, and I realize we sound soft and unadventurous when we complain about that but it was hard to relax when we were constantly swiping them away. Giving guests a place to retreat during these hours would help - perhaps consider installing a screened in deck area around the bar? Or mosquito netting around some tables? Just a place where you can sit and relax, read a book peacefully would make a big difference. As it was we were glad it was not too hot - we retreated into our tents for the afternoon. All-in-all though it was a recommended camping experience.

We love our stay in this campsite (one of the most beautiful of our trip in Namibia). The camp sites are far from each others, the nature around is amazing. You have private hot shower and toilets. The fire is on when you arrive and in the morning (thanks to the very nice people in the camp). There is a pool, a bar with an amazing view on the sunset. You have to stop one night here for sure !

What a great campsite! Everything that is Namibia is reflected here. Great service, fantastic site built into the rocks, a great sunset bar and rock pool. Clean and organised. Ablutions are good for where you are. No interruptions and a chance to appreciate what is around you.

Stunning location, everything neat and clean. Pool is very clean and beautiful. Friendly reception. Hot water worked at shower and dishwashing. Shower is nice and spacious. Flush Toilet has a nice view.... Draining problem at shower and kitchen - should be easy to fix. Recommended.
