Hoada Campsite

Great campsite! Why? Very friendly staff, everything quiet and very peaceful, very well maintained. The pitches are spacious with kitchenettes, separate showers from toilets, large pavilion for shade. A pool built into the rocks with another viewing platform. We also recommend booking the cultural tour. Why? After the tour we are completely blown away by everything we have learned today about the community, village life and how the camp is connected to it. We spend a few hours with our guide who lives in the village and feel like we have understood a little more about life in Namibia, first hand. The tour starts at 7.30 and goes until midday. A great stay.

Very interesting and picturesque place but toilet seat and outside of toilet bowl very dirty, and had no door, which was interesting in a novel way! (Campsite 7)|Very wild feeling with private ablutions built into the rocks.|Water not hot as donkey boiler too far from our shower, in spite of the gift of them lighting it morning and evening for us. (campsite 7) |Found a scorpion on the pitch right by us after dark (UV torches are amazing for this)|Wear decent shoes!!|Lovely sunset bar (without a sunset view as a rock in the way 🤣!|Lovely pool with 2 loungers and 6 person seating area.|Don't expect to see sunset at the sunset bar as there is a rock in the way. Very relaxing. Staff very nice.|

The tents are very nice and cozy, they come with a private bathroom containing a shower, toilet and sink. Outside the text there is a braai and kitchen area that you can order meat and hot water too for a morning grill and tea. Overall the service is amazing as the people working there are very helpful and welcoming. The location is wonderful as you can visit all the nearby lodges and safari's. As to conclude, it is a delightful place to stay at and enjoy yourself. Highly recomend.

We spent one night at Haoda Campsite in September 2024 . The campsite is surrounded by amazing landscape , it has two beautiful terraces : one by the pool and one by the bar where you can enjoy the view with a cold drink . The campsites are extremely spacious , each one with a huge tent underneath which you can park the car , the kitchen area with sink , shower with hot water and flush toilet . Everything is well maintained and really clean . |We took a cultural walk with guide Deska :it’s an hour walk to the village where he comes from and still lives . He explained us a lot about community organization , politics and everyday life there. It was extremely interesting and we found it a perfect completion after days we’ve spent watching wildlife : we finally learned something about the people living around . We highly recommend staying at Hoada Campsite and you should definitely take your time for a cultural walk

We appreciated the very nice location, which is very quiet. The campers have a very big distance to each other. The offered activity “cultural walk” was great, we learned a lot; this was one of our Namibia highlights

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience. The campsite is actually very nice. The tents are great, the pool is nice (but only 2 sun loungers) Unfortunately, we had problems with the booking. I found it super complicated to either give out all the credit card information when booking or to make a bank transfer (which of course costs extra money). During our time in Namibia, this was the only accommodation that required this to guarantee the booking. As we were honestly scared to give them our details, we made a bank transfer. The first mistake in the date already occurred here and you are made responsible for checking the subsequent reservation again for correctness. I therefore made the correction and received confirmation of the correct date. When we arrived, however, we were told that we had no booking (on no Date at all). We were not in the system and they couldn't find anything about us. Unfortunately, the accommodation had no internet. The man on site was in contact with the manager, who was not there personally, but somehow he didn't want to or couldn't look at the emails. Dealing with this was unpleasant. It was brusque, no apologies and it was always about us having to prove it. We still had a screenshot that at least showed the booking. But the man there insisted on having it from us. But the accommodation didn't have internet. It was very hot and we just wanted to relax. We arrived later than planned and wanted to at least use the short time for the rather expensive accommodation. After spending half an hour unnecessarily trying to explain the situation at reception, we then went to the pool because they supposedly had Internet connection there. This also took ages and didn't really work, but he really wanted the screenshot of the booking for the management, even though they had everything. When we left, they accused us of not having paid and asked us by email to submit proof. I don't understand this, as they assumed that there was no payment. So the verification on our end continued afterwards. In the email, I expressed my dissatisfaction with the situation and provided proof that the money had been transferred a few months ago. But what I found absolutely borderline: The mistake was on the accommodation's side the whole time and they didn't apologize when we were there or by email. We were deprived of valuable time and were definitely less able to enjoy our stay as a result. It was more as if we had to thank them for "nevertheless" spontaneously giving us a tent. Then little things like toilet paper were missing on site and the shower gel was empty. No apology here either. It was simply handed to us without comment. I know there are many fans of the accommodation here and we might have become one in other circumstances, but in our case the staff were simply not capable and it really annoyed us. It was simply unpleasant to be asked for proof of payment again after everything without first checking everything theirself. They just said: great, then everything is sorted now. You're welcome... 😅

My husband and I had a wonderful stay and the best stargazing and most relaxing sleep at the Hoada campsite. We are so glad we found this place! The campsites are all beautifully set among granite boulders and have their own private shower and toilet! A beautiful sunset deck awaits for drinks and the staff were super friendly and attentive! Thanks for a very informative and educational tour to your farm, Deska! We highly recommend staying at the Hoada campsites! Daniela and Steve

Amazing place! Very private individual camp sites blending with nature. The best camp site of our Namibia trip. Extraordinarily peaceful place and well looked after. Unique sunset bar and rock pool on top of a boulder.
