Sossus Oasis Camp Site — Hotel in Hardap

If you're looking for the perfect Sossusvlei camping experience, then look no further than the Sossus Oasis Camp Site. It is located just outside the Sesriem Gate, making Sossusvlei extremely accessible, and the campsite almost feels like a desert fairy-tale that definitely should be at the top of your list. Each of the private campsites are like their own mini oasis with each having a rustic yet beautiful private ablution, kitchenette, and "braai" (BBQ) area. The campsites are spacious and are suitable for tents, bush-wagons and caravans alike; even including a paved roof-covered area providing some reprieve from the sun. Each site is strategically positioned to face the desert (some better than others) ensuring all guests have beautiful views and the best seats in the house for unforgettable sunrises and sunsets. It isn't just the private campsites that make the campsite so special. They have a refreshing swimming pool for you to cool off at as well as the Sossus Oasis (reviewed separately) nearby which serves as a fuel station, convenience store and check-in area for the campsite. Keep in mind that wildlife are able to roam freely, and we were lucky enough to see Oryx as well as a Fennec Fox nearby our site. Also watch out for the jackals, especially in the evenings, as they're notorious bin raiders. I recommend you secure yours with heavy rocks to avoid any surprises. Camping at the Sossus Oasis Camp Site was an unforgettable experience, and I will most definitely be back if I ever have the opportunity of visiting...

If you like camping at a petrol station forecourt, this is the place for you. There is no restaurant and only a small warm food counter in the petrol station. Check in is in the petrol station too with a fairly rude guy. He told us we had the best site on the shared campsite but it was in the centre with no shade. There is no shade across the whole site and the pool was filthy. We ended up going to a lodge up the road for the day just to get away from the camp. On our return, someone else had been assigned our spot. Luckily they were very friendly and it seems they try to wedge as many people in as possible so assigned us both to the same pitch, even though later that evening we found all the other pitches were empty. The ladies toilets were overflowing and there was a bad smell. The showers are alright but worn, same for the toilets. Foxes trash the camp overnight and the wind was unbelievable as there is no shelter. We had booked for two nights and decided to bail out after seeing the camp and only stay one. When we told the guy at the petrol station and asked if we could have a refund for night number 2, we got an eye roll and a flat "no". Didn't even ask why we didn't want to stay any longer. If it wasn't for the location I would avoid this as much as possible as there is literally nothing to do there in the day. We were also told the wrong time for the gate, again luckily we were up very early due to the wind keeping everyone awake and found the gate already open hours before we were...
