The world of camperization

Caravans and motor homes are growing at an exponential rate. According to the Spanish Association of Industry and Commerce of Caravaning (ASEICAR), between May and June, more than 80% of these vehicles had already been reserved nationally for the summer, to which the 50,000 motor homes that make up the mobile park are added Current in Spain.

Thus, it has gone from the rental of apartments or cottages to the motor home. A good example of the success of this business is a curious campsite located in Tarragona whose owners decided to retrofit several abandoned caravans and turn them into a 'vintage paradise' of accommodation next to the beach.

The 'glamping' as an alternative to the hotel

Camping Miramar has become the coveted object for Instagram addicts. Its vintage style, soft tones, sixties decoration and its location next to the Costa Dorada beach make it perfect for uploading photos crammed with filters to the social network.

Each of a color, the prices of these vehicles that do not move can exceed 800 euros a week in high season in the case of the best equipped caravans, some with capacity for five people.

In this place there are 33 caravans that this small family business has transformed into accommodation spaces decorated to detail, and each one of them different. They also include an outdoor pergola with barbecue and tables. This campsite also offers 42 Mobil Homes and camping space on the beach.

According to Traveler, this campsite existed for more than two decades but in a very different state from the current one and little care.

A small number of customers had permanently installed their caravans, and some of them were abandoned there. The owners of the place decided to readjust them in 2012, and little by little some owners made the decision to transfer their vehicles to the campsite, which has multiplied the offer. And the demand.

Vices, manias and bad habits that end in car breakdowns

According to ASEICAR, there has been a huge increase in the number of motor home registrations in Spain: 445% in just five years. On the negative side we find a lack of areas and specific regulations in Spain for parking and overnight.

According to data from the association, currently in Spain there are only 950 motor home areas while France or Germany exceed 6,000.
