Red Chilli Campsite

Quick facts: Location: Paraa, inside the park, ~500m from the ferry crossing · Same site as Red Chilli Rest Camp

Overview

This is the camping tier of Red Chilli Rest Camp — the same inside-the-park Paraa location, the same modern shared shower and toilet facilities, but for travellers pitching their own tent rather than booking a banda or dorm bed. It remains the lowest-cost way to sleep genuinely inside the park at one of its most central, active locations.

Location and access

Just 500m from the Paraa ferry crossing, used for both game drive access and boat cruise departures — camping here keeps you as close to the park's core activities as any budget option gets.

What's on site

Modern shared toilets and showers with disabled-access provision, an evening campfire, and access to the same restaurant and bar as Red Chilli Rest Camp's other guests. Wildlife — hippo, warthog — regularly passes through camp.

Best for

Backpackers and budget campers wanting the lowest-cost, genuinely inside-the-park option, at the site most central to the park's boat cruise and game drive activities.
