Camping is Booming: Number of Recreational Vehicles Continues to Rise

Camping continues to be a trend in Austria: In 2025, according to Statistics Austria, around 93,900 recreational vehicles were registered. The camping club ÖCC advises targeted driving training before the start of the season to ensure safe travel.
The Austrian Camping Club (ÖCC) has observed a growing demand for years. According to club president Tomas Mehlmauer, the trend is evident not only in vehicle registrations but also in the number of overnight stays at campsites. More and more people in Austria are therefore investing in their own camping vehicle.
Driving behavior differs significantly
With the boom, the need for safe handling of the vehicles also grows. The ÖCC recommends practicing the driving behavior of motorhomes or trailers before the first trip. These differ significantly from conventional cars, for example in braking, cornering, or on inclines.
According to experts, motorhomes behave more like small trucks: They often have a higher center of gravity and are more sensitive to crosswinds. Incorrect loading or ruts can also cause trailers to sway.
