Photographer with three children travels from Volgograd to Turkey in a motorhome

Photographer Irina Sibukova, along with her husband and three children, has been traveling from Volgograd to Turkey in a motorhome for the fourth year. The 2018 motorhome was purchased in 2023 for 6 million rubles. Maintenance costs include insurance of 8,000–15,000 rubles, as well as water, toilet cassette, and battery charging. Few difficulties arise on the road, but in North Ossetia there is no internet or navigation, and in Batumi parking is problematic. Over four years, the family has covered the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts of Turkey from Mersin to Izmir, visiting Cappadocia and Pamukkale. It is noted that Turkey has few good campsites and prices have risen.

Caravanning in Trend: What Attracts Russian Tourists to Homes on Wheels?

The number of Russians choosing motorhomes for travel is increasing, with about 30,000 enthusiasts. Moscow's only campsite in Sokolniki accommodates 54 motorhomes on 4 hectares, offering electricity, water, and showers. Families with dogs prefer this mode of travel for its freedom and lack of hotel restrictions. Russia has over 400 campsites, but this is still insufficient compared to Western Europe.

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.
