The SANParks Skilpad Rest Camp is located in the Namaqua National Park. Situated in the heart of the Succulent Karoo the Park has grown enormously and stretches from the well-known Skilpad section, near Kamieskroon, on the escarpment westwards to the coast. Escape to the land of contrasts, where the rigorous climate has created a myriad of life forms superbly adapted to their specific habitat. Fields of flowers, star studded nights, quiver trees, enormous granite outcrops and the icy Atlantic are but a few wonders that await the visitor.

Visitors can enjoy self-catering accommodation at the Skilpad Rest Camp. The camp provides 4 chalets, each with 2 single beds in the bedroom and a three-quarter sleeper couch suitable for 1 adult or 2 children in the open-plan living room and kitchen area. The kitchen is fully equipped with crockery and cutlery, cooking utensils, glassware, a 4-plate stove, microwave, fridge-freezer, kettle and toaster. A dining area is available on the enclosed verandah and an indoor fireplace and an outside braai area is also provided. The units come equipped with ceiling fans and 220V electricity. 1 unit has been adapted for use by guests with challenged mobility. All 4 chalets are perched on an escarpment and have uninterrupted views to the far away coastline.

The main entrance, reception, and administrative offices for the Namaqua National Park are all located at Skilpad. There are two 2-hour walking trails, a picnic area with ablutions and a shop and kiosk at Skilpad.
