Camping Car Park

What Camping Car Park does

Camping Car Park is a France-based, privately held digital platform that aggregates and operates a network of more than 800 motorhome stopover areas and campgrounds accessible 24/7 across the country. Its core product is the network itself, complemented by a free iOS and Android mobile application that provides map-based discovery, search, booking, and navigation for individual motorhome and campervan travelers; the app has been adopted by over 1 million users. The company also publishes a printed motorhome stopover map and campground catalog (2025-2026 edition produced in partnership with Michelin) and curates themed travel circuits such as the Hautes-Pyrénées itinerary.

The underlying technology is a consumer-facing mobile and web platform backed by a Directus-based content management system, with destination filtering across categories including countryside, mountain, lake and river, sea, heritage, thermal, and leisure. The Pack Privilèges subscription extends the platform with advance booking guarantees and exclusive benefits across the network, while distribution runs through app stores, the company website, an e-commerce storefront for merchandise, and organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) plus email newsletters. Camping Car Park also operates an "Espace Pro" channel targeting French municipalities as a supply-side onboarding funnel for new stopover areas.

The business model combines per-stay access and booking fees across the 800+ stopover areas with a recurring subscription component (Pack Privilèges), targeting the consumer segment of French and visiting motorhome travelers. Go-to-market is product-led, leveraging app store discovery, content marketing, and a B2G municipal supply pipeline. The company is independently operated, with only one disclosed institutional capital event (a 2013 round led by Newfund) and a small 11-50 person team headquartered in Pornic, France.

Direct peers

• Park4Night: Europe-wide crowdsourced platform for motorhome stopovers and campsites with a mobile app and freemium PRO tier. Direct competitor in mobile-first stopover discovery, with a much larger geographic footprint.
• France Passion: French network offering motorhome stopovers at farms, vineyards, and estates for an annual membership fee. Closest direct competitor in the French stopover market, targeting the same motorhome traveler segment with a similar access-and-membership model.
• Campercontact: Dutch-based motorhome stopover and campsite database covering 50+ countries via mobile app and web. Directly comparable in product (map-based stopover search) and customer (self-drive motorhome travelers), with stronger international reach.
• ACSI (Auto Camper Service International): European camping and motorhome stopover database with a discount card program (CampingCard ACSI) granting low-season access to thousands of campsites. Comparable in targeting motorhome travelers with a subscription/discount card product.

Broad incumbents

• Kampgrounds of America (KOA): North America's largest system of franchised campgrounds with a loyalty program (KOA Rewards) and branded app. Comparable in operating a network of branded RV/camping sites with a membership-style value proposition, but US-focused and at much larger scale.

Emerging players

• Pitchup.com: Online booking platform for campsites, glamping sites, and RV parks across Europe. Comparable in digital booking and discovery for outdoor accommodation, but broader category (camping/glamping) versus Camping Car Park's motorhome-specific focus.
• Camping.info: European campsite search and review portal with detailed site information and booking links. Comparable in serving motorhome/camping travelers with map-based discovery, but focuses on traditional campsites rather than stopover areas.
• Yescapa: France-based peer-to-peer motorhome and campervan rental marketplace. Adjacent in serving the same motorhome traveler persona in France, with overlapping digital marketing channels and complementary (not competing) services.

Regional players

• Stellplatz.info: Germany-focused motorhome stopover directory with map and app functionality. Comparable in product offering (stopover search and review), with primary geographic overlap in cross-border French-German motorhome travel.
• Camping and Caravanning Club: UK membership-based organization operating a network of campsites and a benefits program for touring caravan and motorhome users. Comparable in operating a branded network of campsites with a membership proposition, but primarily serving the UK market.
