    • 1 Old Bridge campsite (2 km outside the village on the Hudup River. Situated on the old road bridge upstream the current one). 4 camping spots on the Hubup river, still being established. The place becomes muddy if it rains... but it really doesn't rain often here. Some shade from trees, and benches and tables under tin roofs. Hot and cold water and solar lights, no power sockets. The water doesn't taste very nice, bring your own to cook and drink. Owner is very friendly. 80 N$ pppn, children free.
