The Wild One

They can barely decide between a pitch at the foot of a mountain and free camping by the sea. So, they switch campsites depending on the season and temperature. Typical campsites? They don't know them. The Wild One can go for a long time without sanitary facilities or hot showers. Who needs modern showers when you have a campervan with an outdoor shower? But they won't bring shampoo, maybe just some biodegradable soap. The nature lover could lie on the roof of their camper for hours, stargazing. Their quiet, natural way of life could be an example for many of how things could be.

The Connoisseur

The Wild One and the Connoisseur are like night and day. The Connoisseur enjoys luxury camping and doesn't want to worry about a thing on holiday. Just as the nature lover can lie on the roof of their camper for hours, the Connoisseur could spend some time at a spa. Wellness camping and luxurious, star-rated campsites are the typical places where you'll find the Connoisseur. The Connoisseur is also a good role model for treating yourself more during your camping holiday.

The Family

You'll spot The Family from a distance. Often loud, a bit hectic, but usually cheerful and fun-loving. Most families are very active on holiday. You'll only see them at the campsite when they're returning from an activity and are hungry. Want to get to know The Family? Wait until they've eaten. Some family members aren't great at friendly communication when they're hungry. Families are usually motivated for board games, but be warned: they're unbeatable at UNO.

The Neat Freak

Camping can sometimes be sandy, dirty, or messy. But not with the Neat Freak. Some see it as practical, others as a bit rude. It might happen that they directly tell you your campsite isn't clean. But otherwise, they can be a pleasant neighbor at the pitch. The Neat Freak is also a good role model for camping. After your first visit to the beach, you'll definitely think of them and their tip: "Get a broom and a dustpan" when you find yourself able to build a sandcastle in your campervan.

The Romantic

For the Romantic, pillows, a cozy blanket, and candles are essential for camping. Their campervan is decorated with fairy lights and photos. They're usually not alone on their camping trip, often accompanied by a new love. Romantic hikes to hidden waterfalls followed by a picnic, or midnight dips in the sea. The Romantic is ready for any spontaneous, fun activity. Their easygoing nature and spontaneity probably make them such a good role model for many others.

The Surfer

Very similar to the Romantic, but a little bit crazier. Surfers love the sport, nature, and party life. They also prefer to camp right by the sea so they can catch the perfect waves before breakfast. At lunchtime, they chill at the beach bar and meet new and old friends. The Surfer is very sociable and could live this lifestyle all year round. True to the motto: Surf – Eat – Party – Sleep – Repeat. A Surfer definitely takes solo road trips. The Surfer is a good example that you're not lonely when you travel alone.

The Survivor

The Survivor was wild camping in winter as a baby. They're tough and have extensive knowledge of wilderness survival. The Survivor can entertain you for hours with stories around the campfire without seeming unreliable. They prefer winter camping in the off-season rather than encountering crowds in the warmer months. If you meet a Survivor while camping, you can learn a lot from them. It's best to bring a notepad. There's really a lot of knowledge.

The Athlete

The Athlete is very similar to the Surfer. The Athlete's road trip planning consists less of sights or cultural stops, and more of objectives. Climbing mountains, crossing rivers, covering high altitudes in a short time on a racing bike, and much more. You'll recognize them quickly at the campsite because they usually don't just have one piece of sports equipment, but their kayak, racing bike, and surfboard mounted on the roof. The Athlete is a great example for people who want to be more active on holiday.

The Influencer

You'll spot them pretty quickly at the campsite. They're one of the few who are perfectly styled every day and have their smartphone ready. The question of whether there's free internet here usually comes from them too. Thanks to successful influencers, there's a wealth of travel reports and photo material. This allows for diverse road trip planning and helps avoid bad experiences with unsatisfactory campsites. Thanks for that!

The Relaxed One

Finally, we want to introduce the Relaxed One at the campsite. They often avoid peak season, escape south in the winter months, and spend the winter there. These people have traveled a lot and experienced a lot. The Relaxed One rarely gets flustered and appreciates fully equipped campervans. Because, like the Wild One, they like to park wherever they want. Summer, sun, and cocktails – all year long.

Conclusion: Camping Personalities

We believe that a camping holiday will be unforgettable if you know what kind of person you are. Then you can plan your trip better and also adjust to your fellow travelers. Be clear whether you prefer a pitch in nature or directly by the sea. Whether you should look for a child-friendly campsite or if wild camping in the forest is enough. Just as people are diverse, so too can you design your camping holiday. Be creative, be spontaneous, and enjoy your trip in a campervan!
