Are you looking for a campervan show in 2023?

From small to big, food, family or music focused and the best festival vibes. All of the best campervan and camping shows in the UK are listed with links for more information and ticket sales. You will find new and used campervans for sale as well as campervan accessories and friendly communities and advice. So, whether you already have your own campervan or you’re starting your search. Some can be attended as a walk-in for one day or offer camping for a long weekend. Tickets are normally cheaper if bought prior to the event and some events were totally sold out in 2022, so it is worth planning ahead.

What do we recommend? 

  • If you are in the market to buy a campervan, find a couple of shows near you or somewhere you’d like to travel to and book some tickets. We often hear, it is only sitting in and having a good poke around behind the scenes and by speaking to the team behind the build, that buyers find the confidence to commission a campervan build. 
  • Most of the venues will publish a list of the companies who will be attending. Check to see if any of those you’ve researched will be available to see in the flesh. 
  • Generally only larger conversion companies like Rolling Homes Campers or Knights Custom Conversions have the marketing capital to bring multiple vans to a venue like the NEC. Many of these companies offer various layouts, materials and specifications but don’t always offer a fully bespoke build, but it is worth asking them. If you’re looking for something unique have a search on comparethecampervan.com and select the ‘Bespoke’ icon or follow this link. Here, you can be really specific with your search as there are multiple filters to find the perfect company to meet your needs.
