“The start-up Vansite wants to list a few dozen pitch providers on one website. ‘We have approached holiday farms, airfields, old farmsteads and agricultural businesses,’ says founder Sebastian Siegbert.”
DER SPIEGEL, June 2020 (translated from German)
German App Award 2026 – winner in the camping pitch app category (German Institute for Service Quality and ntv).
Campers are looking for exactly what you have
More motorhomes are on the road than ever before. They are looking for exactly what you have: quiet, nature and a host who says welcome.
1,700+ pitches in nine countries already welcome VanSite guests – with more than 100,000 nights booked so far
Over 90 % of guests come from Germany, Austria and Switzerland – self-sufficient campers in motorhomes, vans or tents
High season from May to October, with weekends and school holidays leading the way
Many guests travel with the VanSite annual pass and actively search for pitches in the network. You get paid as usual.
What it pays: Most pitches are priced between €10 and €25 per night. Up to €15 you keep the full amount – the 7 % service fee only applies above that.
Become a host in three steps
From sign-up to your first guest
1 · Create your listing
Sign up, upload a few photos and describe your pitch. You set the price, number of vehicles and availability. Takes about 15 minutes.
2 · Receive requests
Campers send a binding booking request. You have 72 hours to say yes or no – in the app or by email.
3 · Get paid automatically
The guest pays through VanSite. After the stay, the money is transferred to your account. No invoices, no cash.
What you get as a host
:quality(60) "Einfach")
You say yes, we do the rest
Booking, payment and customer service run through VanSite. You receive a request, say yes – the rest happens automatically.
:quality(60) "Unverbindlich")
You set price, times and guests
You set the price, number of vehicles, arrival times and house rules. Block dates whenever you want peace and quiet. Leave any time – no notice period.
:quality(60) "Kostenlos")
No risk, no fixed costs
Creating and running a listing costs nothing. Only when a booking is completed does VanSite keep a 7 % service fee – and only on nightly prices above €15.
What do you need? Less than you think
A level area with room for one to three vehicles or tents – that's all it takes. Electricity, water and toilets are not required: most guests travel self-sufficiently in motorhomes or vans.
Suitable, for example:
the farmyard or a meadow on the farm
the edge of a forest or a lakeshore
a large garden with some distance from the house
the grounds of a vineyard, mill or farm shop
If you can offer something extra – firewood, fresh eggs, a sauna or a rowing boat – guests will appreciate it, and you can sell it as an add-on in your listing.
Hosts from Lapland to Andalusia
More than 1,700 pitches in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark and Norway already welcome VanSite guests: farms, vineyards, old mills, meadows by the water. Most of them without electricity or sanitary facilities – and booked nonetheless.
Example: the most-booked pitch in Sweden – a meadow next to an old vicarage with no electricity and no toilet – has received more than 150 bookings since 2023.

Frequently asked questions
In most countries, yes – on a small scale. Rules differ from country to country and often from municipality to municipality: hosting one to three vehicles without facilities is frequently possible without a permit, while service buildings, toilets or a larger number of pitches usually turn your land into a campsite that needs approval. Protected areas and shorelines often have extra restrictions.
Check with your local planning or building authority before you start. We are happy to share what other hosts have learned, but we cannot replace that advice.
An open area with a view of nature and room for one to three vehicles or tents.
Many of our guests travel self-sufficiently, so electricity, water or sanitary facilities are not required. The closer to nature, the less equipment you need. If you want to offer something extra, campers will of course appreciate it.
Nothing – signing up, listing and advice from our team are free. Only when a booking is completed does VanSite keep a 7 % service fee – and only on nightly prices above €15.
The price is entirely up to you. Most pitches on VanSite are priced between €10 and €25 per night, depending on location and facilities.
Tip: start in the middle, collect your first reviews, then adjust. If you'd like a recommendation, write to gastgeberservice@vansite.eu.
Mostly German-speaking campers in motorhomes, vans or tents who travel self-sufficiently and look for peace and nature. Many travel with the VanSite annual pass and actively search for pitches in the network.
All guests have a registered account with a phone number, and a booking request is binding for the guest.
The guest requests a specific period. The payment is authorised with the request.
You accept or decline – in the app or by email.
If you accept, the amount is transferred to you automatically after the stay. If you decline or don't reply within 72 hours, the request and the authorisation expire.
Once accepted, you and your guest receive each other's contact details.
Yes. Guests only send a request first, which you can decline at any time – no explanation needed. If you don't reply within 72 hours, it is declined automatically. What matters is that you feel comfortable with your guests.
No. Potential guests only see your listing, your first name and a rough area where the pitch is located.
Contact details and the exact address are shared only after a booking has been accepted.
Income from hosting is usually taxable. How exactly depends on the scale and on whether you already run a business – check with your tax office or accountant. All your payouts are listed in your VanSite account.
