    Pitchup.com is a multi-award-winning online agent for booking camping and caravan parks.

    Our website has up to 1.5m pageviews and 6,500 bookings a day, and since we launched we’ve helped over 7m holidaymakers book their perfect outdoor break.
    More than 5,300 camping and holiday parks in 67 countries are available to book on our website, from lodges and cabins to tents, tipis and pods, each earning up to £580k per year. £220m worth of holidays have been booked through us so far, that’s a total of 20m bednights.

    Founded in 2009 by former lastminute.com executives with a background in camping, Pitchup is profitable and has won multiple awards.

    Pitchup is unlocking the final sector of the travel market without a major online platform - camping. Recently we've not only doubled the number of destinations we offer to nearly 40 countries, but also translated the site into 16 languages.

    Very often our clients - ranging from farmers to major landowners, water-park owners to town councils - enjoy huge growth via our platform: triple-digit annual increases are not unheard of. Over 100 have shown their appreciation for our team on our testimonials page.

    We're all over the latest web technologies, too, recently launching an advanced comparison tool and continuing to enhance our award-winning smartphone site. And customers love our site.

    Don't take our word for it!
