Camp-Let campervans: models, specs and current UK stock

Camp-let is a specialist Danish manufacturer renowned for producing high-quality trailer tents that bridge the gap between traditional tent camping and caravanning. Since its inception, the brand has focused on creating lightweight, compact vehicles that can be towed by almost any car, including small hatchbacks and electric vehicles. These trailer tents are characterised by their unique 'swing-out' kitchen modules and a unique opening mechanism that allows for rapid setup.

Based in Denmark and now part of the Isabella Group, Camp-let utilises premium acrylic materials and robust galvanised chassis to ensure longevity and weather resistance. Their range caters to a variety of outdoor enthusiasts, from couples seeking a minimalist setup to families requiring expanded living space through modular awning systems. By prioritising aerodynamic design and ease of manoeuvre, Camp-let remains a prominent choice for those seeking a flexible, fuel-efficient alternative to conventional caravans without compromising on sleeping comfort or kitchen facilities.

Founded in 1968 by the Nissen family in Gram, Denmark, Camp-let was born from a desire to make camping more accessible and less cumbersome. The name itself, 'Camp-let', translates to 'camp easily', reflecting the brand’s core mission of simplicity and portability. The company quickly established itself within the European leisure market by introducing a trailer tent that integrated the lid of the trailer as a structural floor for one of the sleeping compartments, a design feature that remains a signature of the brand today.

Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Camp-let refined its manufacturing processes, moving from glass fibre lids to contemporary materials that offered better durability and weight savings. A significant milestone in the brand's history occurred in 2016 when Camp-let was acquired by the Isabella Group, a fellow Danish company and a world-renowned manufacturer of caravan awnings. This partnership integrated Isabella’s expertise in high-performance textiles and frame design into the Camp-let production line, further enhancing the quality of the tent canvas and interior climate control. Today, Camp-let continues to manufacture its vehicles in Denmark, maintaining a reputation for engineering excellence and Scandinavian design. The brand remains a staple of the UK camping scene, supported by a dedicated network of specialists.
