Campout Dune Fest 2026 — New Year's Eve in the Namib Desert

End the year somewhere extraordinary.

Campout Dune Fest brings music, adventure and New Year's Eve celebrations into the dunes of Dorob National Park. Three dance floors, one night, straight through New Year into the morning.

Bring your friends, your tent and your festival spirit. Whether you're making Campout part of your coastal holiday or travelling to Namibia for a different kind of New Year, expect a celebration surrounded by an incredible natural landscape.

Tickets: the first release, Base Camp at N$395, has sold out. Pitch Up at N$450 is now on sale. One ticket type only: General Access, with entry from 12:00 on 31 December.

Camping: bring your own tent. Camping is only permitted within the designated event camping area and during the published camping times — secure your tent properly for coastal wind.

Getting there: guests may drive, with parking in designated areas. Bus services will run between Swakopmund, Walvis Bay and the event; timetables and collection points are to be announced. No off-roading or dune driving, no quad bikes. Carpool where you can, and don't drink and drive.

Fires: only in the fire drums supplied by the organisers, in designated areas. No ground fires, bonfires or personal braais.

Not permitted: weapons, illegal substances, glass containers, fireworks or sky lanterns, pets, quad bikes, drones, confetti or loose glitter.

Leave no trace. This is a protected national park — use the bins provided, take everything home with you and don't disturb the wildlife or vegetation.

Come prepared for sun, sand, wind and cold nights: proper footwear, sunscreen, warm clothes and plenty of water.

This is a cashless event. Strictly no under 18s.
