Buying a motorhome in Russia will cost from 7 million rubles
Original source: Общественная служба новостей

Sergey Lobarev, head of the National Association of Motor Tourism, said at the Dikorosy forum in Novosibirsk that the minimum cost of buying a motorhome in Russia is 7 million rubles, and renting for a family of four is 20,000–30,000 rubles per day. Mass production is absent, but over 100 organizations are engaged in vehicle conversion; a used option with a trailer can be purchased for 1 million rubles. About 85% of respondents would buy a motorhome if the price were affordable. Russia has 35,000–40,000 such vehicles, while Europe has over 5 million with a developed network of campsites.

Motorhomes head to Karelia, but infrastructure lags behind tourists

Travel by motorhomes and caravans is gaining popularity in Russia, but tourists lack equipped sites with water, electricity, and services. According to the RV Land project, by May 2026 there were about 32,200 owners of such vehicles in Russia, and by July the number of accepting facilities reached 469, though many are not specialized. Due to the shortage of infrastructure, travelers are forced to stop on unequipped territories. In 2027, the Grand Seliger resort plans to open the first caravan site, and M9 Development is considering sites near Lake Ladoga in Karelia and in Teriberka.

Caravanning grows in Russia, infrastructure lags behind trend

According to the RV Land project, as of May 2026, Russia had about 32,200 owners of motorhomes and caravans. By July, the number of facilities accommodating such tourists reached 469, including campsites, recreation centers, and parking areas. Experts note that demand has formed, but infrastructure is developing unevenly. In 2027, the first caravan site with electricity and water hookups, sanitary modules, and service areas is planned to open at the Grand Seliger resort. The shortage of such facilities is especially noticeable near natural attractions, forcing travelers to stop in unserviced areas. Caravanning development could boost regional economies, as motorhome owners travel long routes and use local services. M9 Development is exploring placing caravanners in its tourism projects, including Lake Ladoga and Teriberka.

Russians increasingly choose motorhomes for travel

Residents of large Russian cities are increasingly traveling in motorhomes, preferring them to all-inclusive vacations abroad. Renting a motorhome is cheaper than staying in a hotel and allows travelers to avoid dependence on public transport schedules and baggage restrictions. In the Leningrad region, tourist bases are being created for such travelers, offering overnight stays, battery charging, and water refills.
