What CampoLife does

CampoLife is a Dutch caravan and camper dealership and rental operator headquartered in Heinenoord, Netherlands, founded in 2010. The company serves individual consumers in the Dutch leisure-vehicle market through an integrated offering that spans new and used vehicle sales, short-term rentals, a parts and accessories shop, workshop maintenance and repair services, and third-party financing and insurance referrals. Its physical footprint centers on an 8,000 m² site with four covered showrooms, described as the largest caravan center in the Netherlands, holding an inventory of more than 800 vehicles across multiple brands including Dethleffs, Hymer (added 2026), and Eriba (added 2026). BOVAG dealer status, Aboma certification (January 2025), and an Erkend Duurzaam sustainability certification (October 2024) underpin consumer trust and regulatory compliance.

The revenue mechanics are diversified across five streams: new-vehicle sales (highest absolute revenue contribution per unit), used-vehicle trade-in resales (lower margin, faster turnover), workshop service revenue from maintenance, repairs, and conversions, accessories and camping-shop sales, and rental income from short-term leisure rentals. Financing and insurance are intermediated rather than underwritten, producing referral commissions without balance-sheet exposure. The go-to-market is purely offline, anchored by showroom footfall, trade-fair presence at events such as the Vakantiebeurs and Caravan Salon, word-of-mouth (supported by approximately 9.5 out of 10 aggregate reviews), and traditional digital marketing. There is no disclosed e-commerce channel and no enterprise, fleet, or institutional customers.

CampoLife's growth posture is offensive: in November 2025 it announced a merger with Dicar, and in 2023 it opened a new sustainable workshop to extend service capacity. The business is geographically concentrated in South Holland, Zeeland, and Noordwest Brabant, leaving it exposed to regional demand cycles and to the discretionary-spending profile of Dutch households purchasing leisure vehicles.
