Are Campsites Obsolete for Motorhome Owners?

Are campsites still fit for modern motorhome owners, or are they being left behind by a new generation of off-grid travellers? In this episode of the Motorhome Matt Podcast, Matt and Keith unpack the growing tension between traditional campsites and the rise of self-sufficient campervans, Brit Stops, Aires, and off-grid touring. With more motorhomers choosing flexibility over facilities, are campsites adapting quickly enough to survive? Joining Matt is industry journalist, reviewer and Out and About Live presenter Peter Vaughan, bringing more than four decades of motorhome experience to the conversation. Together, they explore how touring habits are changing, why smaller campervans are dominating the market, and what campsites may need to do to win back motorhome owners who no longer need electric hook-up or shower blocks to enjoy the lifestyle. VanLove Festival is nearly here, taking place at Thruxton Race Circuit from 18–21 June, featuring Matt’s live DJ set, a go-kart race against Ben Collins, aka The Stig, plus a packed weekend of campervan culture, live music and vanlife entertainment. And in the Q&A, Matt answers your questions on: How to track down a very specific motorhome model in the UK and Europe Understanding vehicle emissions classes for European toll systems Using GO-Box and DarsGo systems for touring Austria and Slovenia If you're thinking about buying, or simply wondering where the motorhome industry is heading next, this episode is packed with insight, experience and practical advice from Matt, Keith and Peter.
