Canyon Farm Yard | Established Campground

October 4th, 2024 by fascinatingbelfry72

Very strange and rude owner. I asked him for a place with shade and didn't get a proper answer. So I asked if I could have a look which he didn't like. Long short story he told me to go somewhere else. (And luckily I found a very nice place at Schützenhaus in Keetmanshop.)

Previous posts promise basic food here, but there isn’t.
No peanut butter, oats, bread - nothing.
The owner told us they cannot sell enough, so groceries will go bad.
There is some biltong, chips, noodles, coffee and an applecake.

as all of the below. Nice place. would definitely recommend it. shop is expensive but not many options in the area. camping is good. well set out. R200 for the night.

we were just here for the "apfelstrudel" and coffee
Totally disappointing :-(
The apfelstrudel is just a apple cake which was just ok, the coffee was good
2 piece of cake and 2 coffee > 200 N$ way too expensive
the owner were super friendly and they have nice garden, but all in all we cannot recommend the place for a coffee break

This camp was so good, The owners are really kind and helpful and they do make the best strudel and biltong you can't leave without trying them. The sunset was magical, sunrise was pretty good also. the camp spots have a private toilet and shower, braai station and an outdoor light, they are also all shielded from the wind. If you need as place to stay before or after your fish river canyon trip please go here, also good for a stop off your going past. price was 200 $N pppn for camping. they have cabins etc also. Will respond to Whatsapp.

I stopped here, the wind was very hard like a sand storm, paid 200 ND to use the camping, small shop expensive but aren't more options if you are cycling, friendly people, not to much to buy and only is possible with cash, nice wind cover on the campsite whit shower and toilet, very sandly place. enjoy the adventure!!

What a place! The owners are super friendly. There was a storm coming and they kindly offer me to sleep in a caravan, you must try the apfelstrudel and biltong. They also have basic food, good for cyclist (peanut butter, oats, noodles... askc for bread as they have it in the freezer).

Lovely place. Feels a bit like star wars. Nice campsites with wind protection, private ablutions, table and benches and shadow. Lots of privacy in between. Nice pool, shop for the basics, try the kudu pie and the Apfelstrudel. Definitely worth it. 195pppn. Lovely owners, good storytellers, they took us on a ride to the mountains to show us their huge farm. 1h from the fish river canyon on a very good gravel road.
Amazing night sky!

Wonderfull owners! Every campsite has a wind protection, and own toilet and shower. There is a nice pool, beautiful area around! The owner took us for a ride up to the mountains, we spent a great time there. 195pp

friendly owners! 195pppn.
asked for icecubes, but they don't have in the shop, so the lady gave me a bag from their private freezer for free!
open area with small trees at the camp site.
wind protection at every site, and some have a little bit shadow. cold showers but at no6 there is a donkey. (maybe there is a shared shower with hot water, did not ask). Small cold pool not so clean but refreshing!
waterhole behind the fence where some antelopes could come for drinking, saw some oryx but it was dark already

Nice, well shaded and well spaced. The lady who owns it is very knowledge re. Namibia and had an awesome map on the wall to help point things out. Hot water could be requested, not sure if it’s drinking or not, private (outdoor) shower and toilet and braai area. No electricity or wifi.
Apple strudel is a must. Lovely camp site.

June 27th, 2023 by nackreinhard

Warm wellcome with hot coffee and apple pie. Got a good place to stay the night. Next morning starts with hot shower. Prepared with good advices we continue our trip.

June 20th, 2023 by veronica.paula

What a wonderful place! Wally was extremely welcoming and even helped us fix our car. When you stop by, ask for the Quivertree forest! He recently prepared a 4x4 track that leads to these beautiful trees not far from the mountains. It's totally worth the little detour.

June 11th, 2023 by veronica.berne

Lovely campsite just 1h from Fish River Canyon. Hot showers available. Camping is $180pp.

June 4th, 2023 by @michaeldmacdonald

For cyclists - the shop has basics, packet noodles, biscuits, biltong, crisps etc. They mentioned they might get oats and tinned food too so cyclists can stock up as there aren’t many shops around. It’s a really friendly place. We camped here for a night and loved it. It’s rustic, your camping spot has a tree, a sink, some wind shelter and a cold shower (but there is a shared lovely toasty warm shower too!). There’s no wifi or electricity, but that’s why you’re travelling Namibia, right?! At night it’s peaceful with huge skies. Great little spot.

Friendly owners. Tasty kudu droewors. Lovely apple cake. Neat and tidy place. We only stopped for coffee and cake. Camping 180pppn.

This is a real Oasis in the Dessert. What a wonderful place to visit with the most friendly people. Their Kudu Pie's are world class and wish Gordon Ramsy could taste it. This place is a must visit when driving on the C12.

December 2nd, 2022 by mgautier82

really enjoyed this place where wally and Meisie welcomed us with big smile.
We tried the appelstrudel... Very good.
We bought some kudu meat, sausage and biltong + figue marmelade, all homemade by the owner and all very good. Wally gave us 1 kg of grapes.
I highly recommend this place

I can confirm the previous report but it didn't appeal to me. Very sandy, little shade, no power points.

July 14th, 2022 by iov

Awesome site, owners were really creative.

Camping: loved it. Ample space, shade. Great hot shower.

Food: As hungry German cyclist l was quite disappointed by the apple strudel which was more like a tiny piece of apple pie.

Drink: Only small soda cans for sale

June 8th, 2022 by fierydruid

Nice owners. Bought biltong from them. The kudu sausage is the tastiest

April 2nd, 2022 by wigg.luisa

Stopped here for coffee and apple strudel and a nice chat with the owners!

As others have said. Really good cheap place for camping. Owners are super friendly! Since most camps have raised their prices way above N$400, this is a bargain for N$150. Own ablutions with shower, toilet and sink. 6 sites in total, cash only

December 16th, 2021 by instagram.com/super_mario993

What a lovely place and a lovely owner! I stopped here for some apfelstrudel and tea on my way towards north. The owner was super friendly and gave me a lot of tipps for the area around. Can highly recommend for a short stop, don't know how the camping facilities are, though.

November 2nd, 2021 by patricia_muilenburg

We only passed by for a coffee and apfelstrudel. We really enjoyed this place and talk with the owner, she is so nice! Fun place to walk around. beautiful view. Small trees at every camping spot.

well appointed stands protected from the wind but no power. the view across the valley to the canyon hills is great. sites have running water cold only. central ablution has hot water from donkey boiler. shower at site is cold. each site has flush toilet.

November 29th, 2019 by rossandjessemail

A very fun and intimate little padstall - the owners were so friendly and accommodating that we intentionally passed by twice.
We would not camp here, but coming for a coffee and a chat is essential. The owners as unique as their place itself.
Excellent biltong (!!!!!), and delicious coffee for my vegetarian girlfriend. A must stop when you’re passing through!

August 11th, 2019 by Le goût d'ailleurs - blog de voyages

We stop for coffe and Apple strudel. The coffe was ok, but the apple strudel was very small and not cooked enought.
The biltong is good but expensive.

July 10th, 2019 by anna.fraenzel

lovely coffee, apple strudel and biltong! nice stop on the way to Fish River.

camping looks nice w a great view!

July 2nd, 2019 by pjsnyders

Great coffee shop with curiou-shop
It also has camping spots with warm water and iglo houses

June 26th, 2019 by our_african_odyssey

We didn’t camp but stopped here to buy biltong. Really delicious home made biltong made from scratch - they even hunt the kudu themselves to make the biltong. Delicious! Super friendly owners. Highly recommended!!

June 16th, 2019 by mariko.deziel

Basic but nice place.
The owners are very nice and we could buy some kudu meat but there were no more pie available (he sold them all in a day).
Many people stopping on their way.
Big campsites (130pppn) with private braai, a private toilet (no paper toilet - bring your own) and private cold shower. There is a shared hot shower (donkey fire) so we could have a nice hot shower. A tree in each campsite - and sink.
No electricity / no wifi.

April 1st, 2019 by Crocodileriver

Rustic site with private ablutions. Very quiet at night, no lights so great for stargazing. Owners very friendly. We asked for the kudu pie but they only make this during high season, we got some biltong instead. While we were braaiing the owner gave us a piece of kudu worst he just made for free! Really nice! Price $N130 pp.

January 9th, 2019 by Peter & Lisa

Price still 130 pppn. Milkyway is amazing and worth a visit on its own. Ablutions clean and private. Lonely place with kind owners

January 5th, 2019 by Warthog&PenguinOnSafari

Quirky place to stop with tasty kudu pie and cold drinks. We didn't camp but can confirm the price is still N$130 pppn.

May 8th, 2018 by Khayaonwheels

Very friendly people, buy some rusks as they as amazing! Great stop for coffee and a chat!

March 19th, 2018 by wanderingofftrack.com

August 9th, 2017 by dana.kenan

100 pppn. Very nice people. Sandy pitches with private toilet, tap and cold shower. there's a shared hot shower close by, but you have to ask the owners to heat up the water beforehand.
60 km from Fish River Canyon.

July 15th, 2017 by ourepictrip.com

Camping $100pppn. We didn't stay but they have a small shop with souvenirs, kudu pies, biltong, and drinks
