It’s a nice campsite, part Fichte Gondwana Group. I payed 200 ppm

Better book in advance as it gets quite occupied. We were lucky and we took the last spot. This campsite is probably the best value for the money. Nice swimming pool area and beautiful views of the mountains! The only disadvantage is lack of electricity at the camp spot.

Report Check-In

This is definitely worth a stop for the hiking trails. It is part of the Gondwana group so very often booked up and gets busy. The campsite has 10 pitches which are maybe a bit close together but a nice size. The shower block is good with hot water and clean and a laundry and washing up area but with only 2 showers and 2 toilets per set and a full campsite including overlanding group it could probably do with a couple more facilities. But absolutely fantastic hiking and a lovely pool and restaurant if you want to relax 350 per couple pn and 50 nad pp for hiking permit.

Great little spot… Camp sites are rather small but the great scenery makes up for that…

What a pleasure to be here again. Well maintained, friendly staff, all amenities in top to shape. Nice MBK/hicking trail. The usually brown desert is now a lush green grass land. Unbelievable contrast.

The "Stone Horse sculpture" was not visible due to the abundance of grass covering the sculpture. The "green" view makes the hike well worth the effort.

The road from Ausenkher to Rosh Pinna is being rebuild at one point. 5 low water crossings are partly washed away but can be crossed with caution. We managed with an Iveco 4x4 Motorhome - slowly does it.

Still 320 for 2.
Super windy at night and quite chilly. 8 degree in the morning. Be prepared even it’s already November :-)

Ablutions clean. Hot water and solar lights working.

Went to look at the horses 20 km down the roads. Unfortunately not a single horse …

Beautiful views. Ablution is shared and looks great, hot water. Camping spots are close to each other. Windshield, tree for shadow , picnick table and braai at every place. you can use the lodge facilities, 2km away from camping.

Campsite has 10 shaded sites, abblutions are clean and shower is hot. We were planning to stay a few nights but left after 1 because of the strong winds. Although common around this time, the strong winds made it almost impossible to cook and very cold once the sun set. Paid 160N$ p.p.

160 pp/pn.
Beautiful surrounding. Nice hikes around for everyone.
The owner pit rent mountain bikes for 400 pp, and there are many trails.
We didn't ride because it was too much for us.
We camped at site 7, that wasn't shady enough.
Water are drinkable.
No electricity. Only solar at ablution. First night no problems. Second night didn't have lights (not sure why. Maybe someone forgot the lights on) and also the gas geysers shower didn't work because of that. That was very unfortunate.
Also it has 2 showers and 2 toilets per gender. When camp is full (our 2 nights it was) it's little bit tight in the mornings.

Klein Aus Vista is a lovely campsite with spacious sites under trees, great bathrooms with hot showers, and you get to use the facilities at the Dessert Horse Inn (pool, bar, lounge, good wifi etc). The inn is about a 15min walk away. There are some short walks around the campsite. They are currently running a special of NAD 140 pppn. Kids half price.

Beautiful place to stay! Delicious restaurant!

Very nice place with super friendly owners. A awesome pool and very good restaurant. I do recommend the steaks! Prices are reasonable and not to high.
Wifi at pool, bar and restaurant.
Campsites have shade, one facility building with very hot water.
The hiking trails are amazing and there is one for everyone. We enjoyed going on a long hike after being in the car in Namibia a lot of times.
If you are a mountain biker you should definitely stop here. The owner is enthusiastic about biking and the trails are beautiful.
All in all you should stay here instead of Lüderitz. Just go to Kolmannskop and Lüderitz from here.
The baking fresh bread for very good prices. The breads are huge. We ordered burgerbuns as well and they were so nice to add them.

Great camping spot nestled amongst the hills, 2km away from the Klein-Aus Vista reception & lodge. Superb service from staff on arrival, very friendly & helpful. Pool area is lovely, they offer towels to use as well. Ablutions at campsite very clean & tidy, gas geyser for hot water. Gets very busy with a lot of mainly German travellers stopping to camp overnight, but peaceful & quiet during the day. Watch out for the Jackals trying to get into the bins for food at night! We saw wild horses walk through the camp one morning. Great place to stay & do a day trip to Kolmanskop & Luderitz. Gets cold at night, and can get windy.

Nice campsite and a great place for hiking, both short and longer hikes. It’s very open and the wind can really whip up. The campsite was full when we were there and with only 2 showers and toilet per sex it gets very busy! Ablutions are very clean. No power at sites. Stars are incredible! 140pppn

Nice campsite with clean ablutions. Price still N$140pppn. The area is really good for hiking, small hikes of a few hours to a full day hike. A permit costs N$45 pp, one time fee.

Billy the kid and all his posse would thrive here. It has a lovely western charm which adds to the unique flavor of this campsite. Most of the sites are quite closely packed but it is still one of our favorites - book camp site 10! Clean but few ablutions, hot water, ice, wood, and unfriendly front of house.

Report Check-In

Beautiful site. Nice clean ablutions, shower was hot on and off. Those windbreakers are there for a reason, crazy wind all night. We could not have slept in our rooftop, put up our ground tent behind the windbreaker instead. We preferred this site over Aus Haven. Price $N140 pp.

Stayed two nights at site 10, has the most privacy! You can use the pool and restaurant off the lodge! Nice and clean ablutions.
Please give the birds (nested in the tree) some water?

As described. Enjoyed it here, the setting is beautiful. Just to highlight that the camp site is about 2km from the reception/lodge so if you want dinner or a drink you have to walk or drive back to the main lodge. Staff were great.

Prince is 140 N$ pp now. Campaite No. 8 and 10 are the best.

Nice place to see, pool is nice and the bar and facilities at the pool are good.
They don’t have electricity at the campsite which is 2km away from the reception but they happy to charge your stuff. Make sure you double check if they really do it cause after two night wild camping we needed some things charged but after 4 hours in the pool/bar nothing was charged.
They also say WiFi is 300mb per day but that’s not working well either.
Campsite is clean and you got your own braai and pick nick table. Very small sites though

Campsite is set far away from the resort but ablutions are good. The 10 pitches were all booked when we arrived but on asking we were allowed to camp our big-rig in the rather sandy "overflow" area for 135 NAD for 2 people and the truck. Wifi is at the lodge only.

Still as described earlier. Spacious spots with shade, braai place, a bench and some wind cover in form of a wooden fence. Well maintained ablutions. The main lodge looked great and has a pool. Wifi at the lodge, but it worked for a total of about 10 minutes when we stayed. Great option around aus.

We have visited this lovely campsite a few times and generally been the only ones camping. This time however was completely different. Every night large groups of overlanding groups or camper van tours all squeezed into the 10 sites . Most days there were 40 or more people on the site using only 4 showers & toilets. They even had people in the "overflow site " i.e. In the bush behind campsite 10 !!!!. The ambience has changed from a quiet peaceful campsite to a very noisy one. Only Good thing was most people disappeared during the day . Nice walking the hills though. 260 per couple per night. Wifi good when it works in the Lodge. Clean swimming pool that campers can use .

Just as described below... a very nice campsite on the way to or from Luderitz. Beautiful mountain scenery. The lack of any lights or electricity is excellent for star gazing. There is solar electricity in the ablutions, which are modern and very well maintained. The wild horses came to visit while we were there. Great hiking trails from about 2 hours to 5 hours duration. Price to camp is N$130 per adult.
