“Our mission is to host only the best luxury campsites in Europe. For 30 years, we have been setting standards in the European outdoor hospitality market” said Pokrandt. He emphasized that despite the significant growth of campsites in recent years, only the best of the best are part of the LeadingCampings circle.“We want to continue to grow in the future, but not at any price: quality trumps quantity.” During the event, the association’s founding members in 1994 were remembered: Union Lido (Italy), Südsee-Camp (Germany) and Playa Montroig (Spain). Also mentioned were members who joined in 1995: Camping Nommerlayen (Luxembourg), Caravanpark Sexten (Italy) and Hvidbjerg Strand (Denmark).
