Following its successful introduction in Europe in 2015, CaraMaps, a French collaborative website and mobile app dedicated to RVers, has come to the United States.

Already serving nearly 250,000 travelers in six European countries with a free database of more than 60,000 locations (campgrounds, parking and service areas, tourist offices, etc.), CaraMaps is confident that its slick, intuitive online directory will find acceptance in the vastly larger U.S. market, which is 9 million RV owners strong.

The foundation for the site is its listings of roughly 16,000 campgrounds and 7,000 RV dealers across the country. Also on the tool list are parking areas, travel centers, gas stations and BLM lands.

Staying on large campsites can become boring and repetitive, but eager explorers now have the chance to enjoy an authentic experience with a local host. The hosts’ community means locals, such as farmers and winegrowers, can share their space, land and lifestyle while earning an extra income.

More recently CaraMaps has launched GeoChat, allowing members to interact, connect and share travels with those around them through the app. Nicolas commented on GeoChat as being “the WhatsApp for motor caravanners.

First geolocalised chat dedicated to motorcaravanners, allowing them to chat, meet, and share with passionate travelers.

In short, it’s a website and app (for all devices), which helps you find a campsite either close to your current location of near to a destination of your choice. CaraMaps’s launch today in the UK is a strategic decision, since the UK motorhome and camper van market is thriving and showing an important growth, making the UK the 3rd largest European market.

A new app and website for motorcaravanners has been launched in the UK. CaraMaps is a collaborative tool (think Trip Advisor) that allows motorcaravaners to recommend sites, parking places, great views and so on to the CaraMaps community; it also gives farmers and land owners the opportunity to welcome motorcaravanners for overnight stops (think Airbnb). The tool lists more than 40,000 useful addresses across Europe...

Described as a combination of TripAdvisor and Airbnb for motorhomes, CaraMaps is a French startup that lists more than 40,000 addresses in Europe suitable for motorhome travel. These not only include campsites but also parking facilities, service areas, dealers, and even private property where owners sign up to allow motorhomers to stay overnight.
