Camping and Co

What Camping and Co does

Camping and Co is a French online camping booking platform founded in 2007 and headquartered in Saint-Malo, France, operating under the legal entity HOLIDAYS AND CO. The company functions as a licensed French travel agency (license n° IM 035170003), aggregating more than 10,000 campsite accommodation offers across France and Europe and allowing individual campers and families to search, compare, and book stays directly through its website or via a 30-person phone-based call center. The platform supports six localized country websites (France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, UK) and offers a range of accommodation types from budget pitches to 5-star luxury glamping, including mobil-homes, chalets, tents, and unusual stays such as treehouses and yurts.

The core product is a transaction-based booking marketplace that earns commission or brokerage fees on each completed reservation. Pricing is structured in three tiers — a non-refundable base rate, a Classic rate with conditional cancellation, and a FLEX+ add-on enabling full cancellation up to the day before arrival — alongside installment payment options (3x, 4x, 10x) powered by Alma and secure payment processing through Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne. Customer service is delivered through the call center (Monday–Saturday 9:00–19:00, Sunday 10:00–19:00) plus online support, and the company reports 23,400 verified Ekomi reviews with a 4.5/5 rating, alongside a stated base of 1M+ campers served since inception.

Camping and Co maintains distribution partnerships with over 15 major European camping chains — including Flower Campings, Yelloh! Village, Odalys, Siblu, Sandaya, Huttopia, Les Castels, Homair, Maeva, Camping Paradis, VVF Villages, and RCN — and extended its geographic footprint with the 2017 acquisition of Spanish competitor VayaCamping. The company has raised venture funding from Otium Capital (2010, 2012), Newfund (2012), and Rocket Internet (2017). Its GTM motion is direct-to-consumer with seasonal promotional cadence (summer sales, last-minute deals, early-bird offers), supported by SEO-optimized landing pages, a content blog, and active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Direct peers

• Vacanceselect (formerly Vacances-campings): French/European camping-focused OTA offering campsite and mobil-home bookings across Europe with similar commission-based model and multilingual presence. Direct competitor to Camping and Co in its core French and cross-border camping market.
• Allcamps: Dutch-based online camping OTA specializing in European campsite and chalet bookings. Competes directly with Camping and Co for cross-border European camping demand, particularly in the Netherlands, France, Italy, and Spain.
• Pitchup.com: UK-founded online booking platform focused on campsites, glamping, and caravan parks across Europe. Direct competitor for outdoor-holiday inventory aggregation and direct-to-consumer booking experience.
• Eurocamp: UK-based camping holiday specialist offering family campsite holidays across Europe with similar destination breadth and family-camper focus. Overlaps with Camping and Co on multi-country European camping distribution.
• ACSI (Auto Camper Service International): European camping data and discount-card operator that has expanded into campsite booking across multiple countries. Comparable in business model (camping-specialist intermediation) and European geographic footprint.
