Greater Spitzkoppe, also called Namibia’s Matterhorn, is a hikers’ and rock-climbers’ paradise. At the foot of the impressive, sprawling granite formation well maintained camping sites have been established with loving care.
This unique and spectacular Namibian landmark holds the promise of unforgettable memories for you. At Spitzkoppe Campsite you can literally rub shoulders with the amazing Inselberg, its rock art, flora and fauna. Spitzkoppe Campsite consists of several very secluded camping sites in various spots around the mountain. All of them have braai facilities, some have en-suite facilities (enquire at reception). In addition there are four basic cabins with outside showers and toilets. Bedding is provided. You can join guided walks to some of the numerous rock art sites or go for hikes on and around the mountain. If you are an experienced rock-climber you might want to attempt the summit (bring your own gear). Donkey-cart rides are available on request. Ice-cold sundowners can be enjoyed at the bar. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Please note that Spitzkoppe is situated in a very arid area. Water needed for your own consumption and hygiene has to be paid for separately at the reception.
