Stofpad Lodge and Camping is a scenic and welcoming destination in Namibia’s Khomas Region, ideal for travellers seeking a mix of nature, comfort and authentic local hospitality.
Nestled on the edge of the dramatic Khomas Escarpment, this family-run farm lodge and camping site is roughly a two-hour drive from Windhoek and lies en route to Sossusvlei via Solitaire, making it an excellent stopover or longer retreat for road trippers exploring the country's iconic landscapes.
Surrounded by unspoilt mountain views and tranquil wilderness, Stofpad offers visitors a choice between well-equipped camping sites and comfortable lodge accommodation. Camping options range from standard pitches with shared ablution blocks to luxury campsites featuring private bathrooms, kitchenettes, shaded patios, built-in braai facilities and fire pits - perfect for evenings under Namibia’s star-filled skies. Shaded areas are well suited to rooftop tents, and dedicated power points and parking are available for trailers and caravans.
While the campsite encourages close contact with nature, the lodge facilities add a welcome touch of comfort to the wilderness experience. Guests can enjoy a communal swimming pool set against breathtaking scenery, a well-stocked farm shop offering locally sourced goods - from firewood to homemade ice cream - and an on-site craft brewery serving refreshing beers brewed on the property. Children are catered for with a dedicated playground, while adults can unwind after a day of exploration.
Activities at Stofpad extend beyond rest and relaxation. Outdoorsy types can enjoy a self-guided 7 km hiking trail offering stunning views, or embark on a two-hour self-drive farm tour to explore the expansive surrounding terrain and wildlife at their own pace. Communal fire pits provide the perfect setting for sharing stories with fellow travellers after a day in the sun.
Visitors consistently praise the welcoming staff, cleanliness and relaxed, scenic atmosphere. Many describe Stofpad as an excellent base for families and solo travellers alike, offering a balance of adventure, comfort and genuine Namibian charm.
With its diverse accommodation options, outdoor activities and tranquil setting, Stofpad Lodge and Camping captures the spirit of the Namibian wilderness and makes for an unforgettable stop on any southern African journey.
