Our Story
Camping Connections was created to bring campsite and holiday park owners together with the right buyers across Europe as well as the US. We support owners at every stage of the journey, from shaping investment strategies to guiding divestment decisions. Whether it’s preparing a site for sale, identifying the right opportunity, or connecting the right people, the focus is always on creating the right fit. Professional in approach but pragmatic in style, we offer tailored support that reflects the unique nature of each project. Because no two sites — or clients — are ever quite the same.
Why do we exist?
These are not just transactions. They are often life changing decisions. Our role is to help owners and investors navigate them with clarity, honesty, and a clear view of what will actually work in practice. From investment to divestment, we focus on outcomes that make sense both commercially and operationally. We keep things straightforward, responsive, and personal. No unnecessary complexity, no over promising, just clear thinking, open communication, and solutions tailored to each situation. Because getting it right really matters.
Founded on Experience
Camping Connections was founded by Stijn Depraetere in 2025, built on more than 30 years of experience across the European outdoor hospitality sector. From hands-on site operations to board-level leadership, including senior roles within leading European operators, that experience translates into a clear, practical view of what actually works and what doesn’t.
