The Location

In sunny Aspe, near Alicante in Spain, you’ll find Het Kartonnen Huis: a spacious and welcoming motorhome site where hospitality comes first. Owners Gine and Dave first became known through the Dutch TV show Ik vertrek, where their dream of building a new life in Spain was followed on screen. What started as an idea for a B&B turned, during the pandemic, into a motorhome site. They began with just four pitches, but due to success the site has now grown to eleven motorhome spots and two apartments. In 2025, Het Kartonnen Huis was proudly named Motorhome Location of the Year in Spain by the Campercontact community.

What the owners say

“We’re not motorhome travellers ourselves, so we had to learn everything from scratch. It was our first guests who told us about Campercontact. The large reach, the clear website and the pleasant cooperation made the decision easy for us.”

Focus on motorhome travellers

As a dedicated motorhome site, everything revolves around the motorhome community. Most guests are couples, with around 80% bringing a pet. At first, mainly retirees stayed, but today the guest mix includes younger couples, families with children and even people who sold their homes to live permanently in a motorhome.

To meet these needs, Gine and Dave invested in facilities such as separate bathrooms, private clotheslines, individual water and electricity connections, a bread service, a cosy bar, communal dinners and organised excursions.

Bookable via Campercontact

Het Kartonnen Huis is fully bookable via Campercontact — and the results speak for themselves. “We receive new bookings every week directly through Campercontact. It’s simple for our guests, and for us the system is easy to manage. That convenience makes a real difference,” says Gine.

Results and experiences

Thanks to Campercontact, the site is highly visible in the region. “With our Boost Package and beeing bookable we are easy to find when travellers search nearby. Most of our guests actually come through Campercontact.”

Guests are also intrigued by the unusual name. “Many travellers are curious about ‘Het Kartonnen Huis’. When they arrive, they love hearing the story behind it.”

Advice to other locations

Gine is clear: “Definitely put your location on Campercontact. The reach is huge, bookings are simple, and keeping your profile up-to-date is easy. For us, Campercontact is the most convenient platform to work with.”

Her tips to attract more bookings:

  • Offer extra arrangements or experiences

Looking ahead

Gine's plan to keep investing. “We want to continue for years to come, always improving our site to stand out. In this region there’s a lot of competition. That’s why we focus on quality and innovation.”
