Sossus Oasis Campsite sits right at the entrance gate to Namib-Naukluft National Park in Sesriem, making it one of the closest camping options to the Sossusvlei access road.

Location and Sossusvlei access
The campsite is directly at the Sesriem gate, roughly 5 kilometres from Sesriem Canyon, so campers can be among the first through the gate for sunrise at the dunes.
Accommodation and facilities
Each camping pitch has its own private bathroom with shower and a barbecue area. The property has a year-round outdoor swimming pool, and an attached shop and fuel station provide last-minute supplies. Free on-site private parking is available.
Family rooms are available for those travelling with children, and the property is non-smoking throughout. The combination of private ablutions per site and an on-site pool is unusual for a campsite at this price point.
Who this property may suit
Sossus Oasis Campsite suits self-drive campers and overlanders who want a budget-friendly, well-located base right at the park gate, with private ablutions rather than shared facilities.
Planning your Sossusvlei stay
Arrive with your own tent and camping gear; the attached shop covers basic supplies but is not a substitute for stocking up in a larger town first. See our Sossusvlei destination guide for gate opening times and dune access tips.
