Motorhome stopover

Rancho Pancho

Sometimes something just naturally becomes a success. This is what happened with Rancho Pancho, a small, rural spot that was discovered by motorhome owners from all over Europe via Campercontact. It shows how a special location with the right visibility can become a popular stop for travellers. Hopefully their story inspires other locations too.

What the owners say

Camper van owners remain an important part of Rancho Pancho. Dutch guests in particular know how to find the place via Campercontact – a clear added value. Their advice to other locations that are unsure is simple: give it a try. Chances are you will see results within a week.

The situation: a place that stays with you

Rancho Pancho exudes freedom. Motorhome owners are surrounded by nature here, and anyone who wants to can hop on a saddle. No rows, no fixed routes, just real horse riding through olive groves and flower meadows. This authentic, country-like atmosphere attracts a specific target group: travellers who are looking for peace and quiet and want to experience something special.

The owners never consciously planned to start a motorhome site. But after their first listing on Campercontact, the requests started coming in. They claimed the location, filled in the profile with a clear description and good photos, and it took off. Without complicated campaigns, purely by being highly visible to the right target group.

What becoming bookable delivered

When they saw that other locations were becoming bookable via Campercontact, they decided to try it themselves. With immediate results. Since then, they have been receiving more spontaneous bookings. Everything is arranged, paid for in advance and clear. That gives peace of mind for both the guest and the location.

Less ad hoc communication, more overview

As the owners themselves say: "We now simply have a well-run location."

How it works in practice

For a site like this, spontaneous bookings are the rule rather than the exception. Across the platform, 75% of all bookings are made within a week of arrival and 40% fall outside the high season. With six pitches, every night that stays empty is noticeable, so that late demand matters.

Because bookings are paid in advance, there is nothing left to settle at the barrier and the owners keep a clear overview of who is coming.

Lessons for other locations

A complete profile does the work. A clear description and good photos were enough to get the first requests coming in.
Small scale is not a limitation. Six pitches and a distinctive setting are a reason to book, not a drawback.
Paying in advance removes friction. Fewer arrangements on arrival, fewer misunderstandings.
Name what makes you different. Horses, olive groves and quiet are exactly what travellers search on.
