The Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show is over for another year, and it certainly proved popular, with show figures revealing there were a total 100,072 visitors to the 2026 show, a 12% increase on the attendance to its 2025 counterpart.
While the February Show is traditionally the smaller of the two bi-annual shows, it still provided plenty of leisure vehicles for attendees to browse, whether they were looking for the best motorhome or were more interested in finding the best two berth campervan with a shower and toilet.
In fact, the 2026 February show saw more than 420 exhibitors take to five halls of the NEC, with a number of new releases on display. Highlights included Ace returning with an eye-catching stand with six models on display, Bailey showcasing a motorhome which felt so spacious it made us check we hadn’t stepped into a caravan, and the debut of the compact yet well-equipped Rapido C66 Optimum Line.
There were also launches from campervan converters, with one of our takeaways from the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show being how appealing off-gridding and off-roading seems, through models such as the Onyx Summit 2.0 and the Landseer Artemis.
The next of the bi-annual shows held at the NEC will be in October, with the Motorhome and Caravan Show traditionally the bigger of the two yearly events. This year, it will run from 13th to 18th October.
For those of you who are looking forward to the next February show, you will also be pleased to hear that the dates for the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show 2027 have been announced, and will run from 16th to 21st February 2027.
The results of the Overseas Campsites Awards 2025 were also announced at the NEC last week, with the Caravan and Motorhome Club and Alan Rogers announcing Les Castels in France as the overall winner.
