Overview & Location

Tucked behind Canyon Roadhouse lies the charming Canyon Roadhouse Campsite boasting twelve camping spots, each complete with a private barbecue area and power outlet. Situated along the edge of a dry riverbed, amidst rocky hills, these campsites remain secluded from the nearby road, imparting a sense of solitary communion with nature amid eagles, thorn trees, and the ancient rhythms of the land.

Refresh yourself at the communal ablution facilities located a short stroll away. As dusk falls, gather around your campfire beneath the mesmerising expanse of the southern night sky. Amidst the tranquil silence, you might catch the distant echo of the Fish River Canyon, just 17 kilometres away.

After a day exploring the breathtaking canyon and surrounds why not let the crystal-clear water of the Roadhouse pool energise the senses after an adventurous day.

Canyon Roadhouse Campsite stands as one of the rare camping spots near the Fish River Canyon, offering modern amenities amidst the Namibian wilderness. What more could one desire? Nature provides the rest. Revel in life's simple pleasures on the threshold of the world's second-largest canyon.
