Mini camping and micro camping: small-scale enjoyment with your motorhome

More and more motorhomers are discovering the charm of mini- and micro campsites. Instead of crowded campsites, these small-scale campsites offer peace, nature and a personal touch. Whether you’re looking for an intimate location in the countryside, a family-run site among vineyards, or a campsite with mountain views – mini campsites have it all.

With the addition of over 2,000 new micro campsites, Campercontact now makes it easier than ever to the perfect place that matches your travel style. From the Netherlands to Italy and from Germany to France: there’s always something for everyone.

Why more motorhomers choose mini campsites

Traveling by motorhome is all about freedom and simplicity. That perfectly matches the rise of mini campsites. While large campsites are often full of entertainment and crowds, mini campsites offer peace, space, and a personal atmosphere. More and more motorhomers are discovering that this is exactly what they are looking for.

The trend of slow travel also plays an important role here. Motorhomers want to enjoy more consciously, connect with their surroundings, and avoid rushing from one hotspot to the next. A mini or micro campsite fits that lifestyle perfectly: small-scale, relaxed, and often set in the heart of nature. On top of that, the direct contact with the owner makes the stay even more special—offering tips you won’t find in any guidebook.

The benefits of mini campsites for motorhomers

A mini campsite is more than just a place to stay overnight. It’s an experience that adds something extra to your motorhome journey.

Personal atmosphere and warm welcome

The charm lies in the details: a welcoming host who greets you personally, a quiet field with views of nature, and the feeling that you’re not just one of the crowd, but a valued guest.

Peace and space compared to large campsites

No large fields packed with caravans or noisy entertainment, but a relaxed environment with enough space for everyone.

Often in nature or on a farm

Many mini campsites are set in special locations: a meadow next to a farm, an orchard, or a quiet forest clearing. Instead of traffic, you’ll wake up to birdsong.

Comfort without the crowds

You won’t have to miss out on comfort: essential facilities such as electricity, sanitary blocks, and sometimes even Wi-Fi are available and because many mini campsites are located on farms or in rural areas, you immediately get a taste of the local atmosphere.

With Campercontact PRO+, you can plan your route along these small campsites in advance and always have practical details at your fingertips – from facilities to reviews from fellow travelers.
