Peer-to-peer camping platforms HomeCamper and Campspace have merged to create what they’re calling the largest network of private camping spots in Europe.
No terms of the deal have been disclosed, but the combination of the France and Netherlands-based companies, which specialize in micro-camping or locations from private individuals, will offer 75,000 bookable spots and more than 13,000 hosts.
The merger also includes the acquisition of Camperland, a Germany based micro-camping platform. The inventory across the companies includes treehouses, yurts, cabins and private tents.
