Camplify - About us

An adventure for everyone

We’re on a mission to become the world’s largest and most trusted caravan & motorhome sharing community, making ‘van life’ accessible to all.

We’re hugely passionate about connecting holidaymakers with thousands of unique neighbourhood vans and endless adventures. By sharing the caravan love, our ever-growing community has helped explorers enjoy over half a million nights under the stars and enabled local van owners to earn up to £10,000 - £20,000 a year.

The beginning

Our peer-to-peer van sharing service was developed by a team of camping and caravanning lovers who saw a need for something new.

Originally founded in Newcastle, Australia, the idea for Camplify first came when CEO & Founder, Justin Hales wanted to revisit his childhood love of caravanning. When searching for the perfect van to hire, he couldn’t help but notice all of the un-used caravans and campers sitting on driveways around his neighbourhood.

A stackload of entrepreneurial spirit, a passion for making camping holidays more accessible and investment from a local business accelerator, saw Camplify first say ‘G’day’ to Australia in 2015.

Five years later, Justin’s nostalgia trip has led to a global community of thousands of van owners in Australia, the UK, Spain and New Zealand now boosting their income by sharing the joys of caravanning with others.

Camplify in the UK

Having grown an audience of over 20,000 members in under 2 years in Australia, Camplify expanded to the UK in 2018, to help make Vanlife accessible around the world. The UK has over 1.1m registered leisure vehicles, many of which don’t get used for more than 2 weeks of the year. We are here to unlock new earning opportunities and bring a new lease of life to these under-used vans.

From families wanting to free up their driveways and earn a little extra money or those looking to embark on a new career and build their own business, Camplify is helping to build the UK’s largest community of ‘van-trepreneurs’.
