Here you can see some camping facts from SCR and from the article.

We camped a lot, mostly with a caravan, when I was younger. Have seen almost all of southern and central Sweden that way. Swore as a teenager to never camp again, and then I went to Australia as a 28 year old and camped as much as I could. Funny that how it changes! 🙂

Hello!
I have relatives who camp all year round, instead of a summer cottage they have a giant caravan, which they celebrate both Christmas and New Year and the weekends in. Kärradal I think it is set up in Varberg.
Not really our thing, then a motorhome sounds more like us and maybe in the future we go around down in Europe to different cosy places with just a motorhome, so big that the MC also fits ;).
Have a good day/ Hugs

Emmy in Australia, you don't always like going on holiday with your parents... Maybe later you can look at it in a different way!

Annelie-Singapore, yes, many people use a caravan like that, and it is certainly perfect if that is what you are looking for! But we don't want a summer cottage, so we don't want a parked caravan either. But a motorhome that you can easily move from place to place, that's our thing!

Wow, I thought there were a LOT more motorhomes!
But I myself have moved more and more towards hotel camping.

Woops, where do the motorhome people spend the night, you might ask?

Ama de casa, I thought there might be more... but there are still far more caravans than motorhomes. Motorhomes are also parked in places other than campsites: car parks, regular car parks, mobile homes in the countryside...
Lena & Jan, obviously not on campsites... But if you listen to discussions in motorhome forums, it seems that many people actually avoid camping. Pitches, car parks, free camping in nature ...
