It's not the most luxurious, but it's very clean, the Wi-Fi is free and the bathrooms are being completely renovated. Furthermore, the owner is very friendly and we feel at home. The price (360 for 2 people) is very correct for Swakopmund

Good option in town. Ask to stay on the lower level, there’s a big space in the back where you can easily fit two cars. Dogs are welcome (the owners have a friendly Labrador called Micha). We stayed here for almost a week and enjoyed it.

Absolutelly very nice place. And the owner is so friendly and helpful. I've stayed for 4 days, in a bed in a 3-people dorm (259 NAB, or 13.5 USD) just by myself. I needed to work on my motorcycle, do some repairs and everyone was helpful. The whole place is cleaned everyday, the shared kitchen is very complete and there's secured parking on paved ground for many motorcycles.

Stayed here for one night, it was perfect for what we needed.

Central, at a walking distance to a lot stuff and quiet enough.

Campsite are surprisingly if you take into consideration that's in the middle of the city.

Great place, with a good vibe. There are some tables outdoor where you can enjoy the sun. Big garden to camp and some places to park car with tents. The rooms are comfortable (some with private bathroom), and the ablutions are clean. Well equipped kitchen. The owners and staff are very nice. Now, it’s 180 NAD pp to camp and bedrooms are, at least, 250 NAD pp.

Great little spot. I upgraded to a dorm which was empty for 250. Totally safe parking. Ablutions are kinda run down, one toilet per gender, and the roof is sort of open, so you are connected to the womens and their toilet and showers.

Our second stay at Desert Backpackers. Great campsite to visit Swakopmund on foot and leave your truck safely behind. Owners are super friendly. Ablutions clean and hot. Wifi slow to average depending on the people using it. Ask for the campspot in the backyard and it gets less noisy. Prices 170NADpp. Prices drop if you stay longer.

Three to four shaded spots high enough for rooftoptents. The shared kitchen can be used to cook your meal. City center and ocean on walking distance.

N$510 for two adults and two children.

An inexpensive place to stand. We stayed here with our BigRig (7.8m) for 6 nights and the price was reduced from 170 to 150 N $. The internet is constant, but in the "Alte Brücke" it is significantly faster. The place is not a beauty, and a bit narrow. We had to go out backwards. In return, it is a good walking distance to town and to restaurants such as "Kücki's Pub", "Gabriele's Pizza", "The Tug" etc.

Awesome place.
1 night is 170 pp. If you stay longer the price drops. We ended up staying 6 nights and it was 120.
The owner are very very nice.
Showers are very good and hot. Clean.
Kitchen we'll equipped.
Place is close to the beach and all of the restaurants/ bars.
It's not quite even at night because you sleep next to the street , and you don't have views or anything but for us it was perfect.
Electricity as well.
Pay cash

After having checked the complete overpriced and unfriendly Tiger Reef Campsite we decided to have a look here. This was the best decision what we could make! The very friendly owner let us stay with our truck in the parling lot. The WiFi was fast. Beach and Gabrielle Pizza are in short walking distance Everything else like described before.

170pppn we find overpriced to sleep in your own rooftent. Just beside one of the mainroads. Noisy trucks passing even at midnight. Dogs bark at you while you come back and nobody cares about that. Southafrican owner.
Facilities are good.

Camping is now 170 pppn.
There are two different spots to camp. The one next to the palms, that other under the shady mesh construction.

Incredible clean kitchen for a backpacker !!

Very nice campsite. You have everything that you need: very well equipped kitchen, hot showers, braai spots, cozy TV room and GREEN grass. A lot of outdoor amenities so during the evening you can find your own place and feel pretty intimate. We parked our car with rooftop tent on the “beach” (sandy parking lot) between two palm trees- perfect spot! You can book adventure activities here as well. 320 ND per couple per night.

Very friendly people and all you need from some civilization but 1 night is more then enough. Camping is in the parking lot with some shade cover with the main road full of trucks throughout the night right next to it so not the best place to camp but wifi is fast and the vibes with other travelers are good! 160 N$ pppn camping but maybe rather take a dormbed N$220 or room N$450 to have a better sleep.

Well organised and well run backpackers spread across two adjacent properties, 3 parking areas and campers can choose which suits them best, can easily accommodate 6 or more vehicles. Large shade area over one car parking which is good for two vehicles. Very secure spot and very close to town centre or waterfront. As of May 2017 prices now 160 per person, includes free wifi.
