Just 45 km outside Swakopmund, tucked along the ancient Swakop River in the heart of the Namib-Naukluft, Moonvalley River Camp is a peaceful retreat for travellers seeking space, silence and the raw beauty of the desert. Whether you prefer slow, easy walks, birdwatching along the riverbed, unwinding by the swimming pool, or heading out for unmarked hikes to explore the valley’s hidden corners, this is the place to truly disconnect.
Our facilities keep things simple, comfortable and close to nature. Hot water is generated the traditional way with a donkey, and guests share clean ablutions as well as a communal kitchen sink. Each campsite is thoughtfully equipped with everything you need: a table with stools, braai area, fire pit, light, 220V power plug, small wash basin, welcoming shade, and—on special request only—WiFi (though signal is limited).
To ensure a peaceful stay for all, advance booking is essential.
