Campercontact, the European platform that connects motorhome owners and motorhome site providers, today announces it has received a growth investment. This capital injection, provided by Airbridge Equity Partners, will be used to further grow as a scale-up in Europe.
"This investment heralds a new chapter for Campercontact," said Jorian Keij, CEO of Campercontact. "We believe the best motorhome adventures start with reliable and accessible information. With an extensive network, capital and know-how of the market, Airbridge Equity Partners enables us to accelerate our plans and build on this promise."
Campercontact split earlier this year as a company of the NKC, Europe's largest motorhome club and also an investor in Campercontact. "The NKC is pleased to see that Campercontact, a key player for motorhome enthusiasts in Europe, can accelerate its development with this funding," said Stan Stolwerk, chief executive officer of the NKC, "This move reinforces our shared objective of making motorhome travel accessible, reliable and enjoyable for all motorhome enthusiasts."
With more than a million motorhome travellers, Campercontact provides a reliable source of information for finding overnight accommodation. The community contributes by adding new locations, writing reviews and using detailed motorhome routes. In addition to the Business-to-Consumer component, Campercontact will further invest in services to campsites and motorhome locations in Europe, allowing operators of overnight locations to receive bookings directly through the platform and use functionalities for increased visibility.
Robin Rensen, Investment Director at Airbridge Equity Partners, explains the investment: "Building a community is not only extremely time-consuming and valuable for users, it is also often the only way to solve the challenges that all users of Campercontact are collectively committed to. This active community and a passionate team, enables Campercontact to become the standard for the future of campervan travel. Through the innovative roadmap, we engage RV site owners even more intensively, bringing together the entire community and the resulting solutions."
More than a million motorhome enthusiasts use Campercontact in all seasons to find overnight accommodation. With advanced filter options, they always find a motorhome site or campsite that suits them. The more than 40,000 locations in 58 countries are collected by the users themselves.
