The Spitzkoppe Camp is one of Namibia's better run community camps, for years there was no camp site in the area and visitors had to bushcamp, now the local community has set up a campsite and built bungalows, that offer reasonable facilities. Some years ago the Spitzkoppe was the scene of one of Namibia's most tragic tourism events, when a tourist was killed in an armed robbery, since then the local community has rallied around and vowed that nothing like that would ever again happen in the area. With this in mind community security guards patrol the area.
