Top Camping Brands Crowned at 2024 Owner Satisfaction Awards
The winners of this year’s 2024 Owner Satisfaction Awards, run in partnership with Practical Motorhome and Practical Caravan magazines, have been revealed.
A total of 25 awards were presented at the event on Thursday 7th December at Edgbaston Stadium, the home of Warwickshire County Cricket Club.
Awards were based on the satisfaction rating given to top camping brands by customers who completed this year’s Owner Satisfaction Survey, which ran from February to October 2023.
The awards showcase the best in camping equipment from tents and awnings to caravans, motorhomes, folding campers and trailer tents.
Rob Ganley, Editor-in-Chief of Camping & Caravanning, the monthly magazine of The Camping and Caravanning Club, said: “We’re pleased to reveal the findings of our Owner Satisfaction Survey of tents, trailer tents, awnings, caravans and motorhomes. More than 11,000 campers took part in our 2024 survey and shared their experiences of the camping units they’d bought and used in the last three years. Don’t buy your next unit before checking out our findings over the years online.”
Sarah Wakely, Editor-in-Chief of Practical Caravan and Practical Motorhome at Future Publishing, said: “Our motorhome Owner Satisfaction Awards began in Practical Motorhome magazine back in 2004, and we’re delighted at how they’ve grown over the years to now encompass both caravans and – thanks to our partnership with The Camping and Caravanning Club – tents, trailer tents and awnings.
“Over the years we’ve helped thousands of motorhomers and caravanners make the right purchase for them, and we’re proud to continue to do so.”
