Campstar data shows average daily rental costs fell in seven of the top ten campervan destinations in 2026. The steepest drops were in the USA (-15.8%), Norway (-12%), and the UK (-11.8%). Iceland saw a 45.4% price surge to £280 per day, becoming the most expensive destination.

Volkswagen brought the ID. Buzz back to the United States — complete with a mattress and curtains. A wildfire in Arizona burned down a dozen motorhomes, and Lake Tekir in Turkey flooded just as many. While Ibiza fines illegal campers up to €30,000, a retired couple from Mallorca has been living in 10 m² for five years and saving €1,400 a month.

Volkswagen has confirmed the return of the electric ID. Buzz to the North American market after a one-year hiatus. The 2027 lineup introduces the Tourer 4Motion trim, designed for camping.

Outbound offers four starter campers: Big One, Pathmaker, Classic, and Schoolie. The Big One provides nearly maxed building space and carrying weight at the cost of sluggish handling. The Pathmaker is an agile SUV with limited interior floor space and lower roof load capacity. The Classic is a balanced middle-ground option. The Schoolie, available via DLC, offers similar storage to the Big One with a different layout.
