Discover Wikicampers
Travel shapes youth...
At the end of their Master's, Fanny and Marion, the future founders of Wikicampers, set off to travel, backpacking for several months.
While the first travels through New Zealand by van, the second travels through South America hitchhiking!
Both in love with travel and advocates of the "nomadic attitude", they embark full of carefreeness and enthusiasm on the entrepreneurial adventure.
Wikicampers is then born in the Basque Country, between the waves of the Atlantic and the Pyrenees mountain range.
Promising beginnings...
It is in the heart of the technopole Izarbel in Bidart that the adventure begins, when the young company joins its incubator to launch its concept of renting motorhomes between individuals. At its launch, Wikicampers is a platform for renting motorhomes, vans, and converted vans between individuals. The collaborative economy applied to recreational vehicles allows all those who thirst for nature and adventure to experience the nomadic travel experience.
In 2017, the Basque brand launched its mobile app MyWikicampers.
The project quickly gains legitimacy: at the end of 2016, Wikicampers stands out by becoming the laureate of the fourth call for projects « Innovation Workshop » of the Agglomeration Côte Basque–Adour, an ideal springboard to propel the overall redesign of its platform! Source
From rental to sale of motorhomes between individuals
The concept of vanlife is making its beautiful way, Wikicampers naturally expands its role as a trusted third party to help candidates for this mode of vacation or life to take the plunge into purchasing, with confidence.
Since 2021, the Wikicampers platform has secured the sale of used motorhomes, vans, and converted vans between individuals. And since buying a rolling home comes with a certain cost, we offer tailored financing solutions.

BCorp Certification
At Wikicampers, we didn’t seek to obtain a label to “look good”. We just wanted to live up to what we have been experiencing and sharing since 2012: offering a nomadic journey close to nature, people, reality, and common sense. B Corp is simply putting in writing what already drives us: doing better with sincerity, with our means, with our community, and always moving forward.
1. A committed approach, but never perfect. And that’s what matters.
The nomadic journey is not a neutral journey. It probably never will be.
So rather than turning a blind eye, Wikicampers has chosen to open its eyes wide.
In 2024, we conducted a comprehensive impact study on a typical motorhome stay to understand, measure, and objectify. To move in the right direction, you need to know where you are starting from.
2. B Corp: the backbone of our approach
- 4 months answering over 200 questions, proving, documenting, re-questioning our habits
- A procedure for breastfeeding mothers.
- A Wikicademy training on professional postures and gestures.
- A bioclimatic building.
- A recognized social commitment, a challenged governance.
