Madisa Campground, Namibia
Located near the town of Uis, Madisa Campground is the perfect place to stop on route to Twyfelfontein (18km away). There you will find some incredible attractions including Burnt Mountain, the Organ Pipes, the Petrified Forest, and Indigenous rock art.
This charming campsite quickly captured our hearts with its rustic feel, private open-air bathroom and shower and large leafy trees that provided ample shade and privacy. Once the sun set, we were mesmerized by the millions of sparkling stars that filled the sky—one of the best night skies we’ve ever seen.


The spacious campsite at Madisa had a large fire pit for cooking, an outdoor sink, a prep area, and hot water from a fire source. Power for charging electronics was available but not for camper hook-up, and a small light was placed on a low-hanging tree branch. A bar at reception sold cold beverages, and the owner offered group hikes to watch the sunset. No Wi-Fi.
