Mile 108 is rapidly becoming a premier destination for campers. 

Managed by Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR), the site reached near-total capacity during the 2025 holiday season.

Located roughly 170 km north of Swakopmund, Mile 108 offers a tranquil seafront escape. 

Long known for its basic "long-drop" campsites, the resort has evolved. 

It now features bungalows and sheltered units designed to withstand the harsh Atlantic winds, alongside "glamping" options for those seeking a hassle-free experience.

Beyond the amenities, the lure of world-class fishing remains a primary draw. 

Camp Manager Albert Awarab, praised for his hands-on leadership, confirmed a successful December.

"In 2025, December, plus or minus, we got clients, like, 150 to 200, so we were fully booked: all the private toilets, self-contained units, cabins, and long drops – two-thirds of them. They were full, so we received quite a good number last year."

The appeal stretches across borders. The Rocher family travelled over 1,500 km from Malmesbury, South Africa, to spend a month on the coast.

They have been holidaying for 35 years in Namibia.

"The new president, that lady, has a good vibe about her, and I like her ethics – no corruption… She will uplift this country so that we can enjoy it even more," says holidaymaker Tommy Rochers.

 "It's easy and relaxing. We are looking forward to the Kabeljou, Steenbras, and Galjoen," adds Louise Rochers.

While regular visitors like Wayne Roche appreciate the balance of comfort and ruggedness, others note that the harsh coastal environment presents maintenance challenges.

"Maintenance should be a priority; for instance, some rooms are missing light bulbs or socket covers."

"The salt air causes rapid rust and wear. We are planning permanent solutions this year to address the weather damage," adds Awarab.

Despite minor upkeep issues, the spirit of the camp remains high. Visitors expressed optimism about Namibia's future and its reputation as a world-class destination.

"The new president has a good vibe and strong ethics. She will uplift this country so we can enjoy it even more."

"Namibians are great people. It is the best place in the world to live."

Looking ahead, NWR plans to expand the camp and secure a permanent water supply, piped directly from the Ugab gate of the Skeleton Coast Park.
