Pitchup.com is the market leading online booking site for campsites and caravan parks, with over 5,000 sites available in 67 countries, including Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

More Brits go camping and caravanning than holiday in Spain and Greece combined, and the market is booming as Brits switch to domestic holidays. But there’s even more potential elsewhere - with 49% of the annual 1.2bn camping and caravanning nights spent in the USA for example - so we're rapidly expanding further afield.

One of only 90 companies to be listed three years running in the Financial Times' FT1000 fastest growing companies in Europe, Pitchup.com receives up to 320,000 visits and 7,400 bookings per day and since launch, has helped over 9m holidaymakers find and book their perfect outdoor escape. The company is profitable and was founded in 2009 by former lastminute.com staff with a background in the holiday park sector.

We started Pitchup.com to make it a doddle to book a campsite, caravan park or glamping site. We wanted to help not just with somewhere to stay, but with local bike info, walking routes, pubs and nearby attractions - everything you need to book a terrific break. We love what we do: we camp, we caravan, we travel, and we’re passionate about making it as easy as possible for people to holiday in the outdoors.

Now we are building our team for further expansion and are looking for the very best in their field. If you’re hands-on, able to problem-solve, and you want to work with a friendly and flexible team, browse our current openings and join us in making Pitchup.com an international success!
