Addo Main Camp - Camping Area

The camping area at Addo Main Camp sits within Addo Elephant National Park's primary rest camp, near the town of Addo in South Africa's Eastern Cape.

It is part of a larger facility managed by SANParks that includes guest houses, chalets, cottages, and safari tents alongside the camping sites.

The campsite is well maintained, though visitor accounts note it is relatively small and frequently reaches full occupancy. Both tent and caravan pitches are available, with caravan pitches generally offering more space.

Communal self-catering facilities are on-site, and a licensed à la carte restaurant and shop operate within the rest camp. A floodlit waterhole inside the camp provides nighttime wildlife viewing opportunities.
