Campsited plans to be the number one camping holiday platform globally

The Dublin-based company connects holidaymakers with caravan and camping sites across Europe

Finán O’Donoghue, chief executive of Campsited: ‘There was no central platform where I could see all the campsites in Europe and then go ahead and book one’

A love for the great outdoors allowed Finán O'Donoghue, the chief executive of Campsited, turn his lifelong passion into a business. The Kerry-born camping and hiking enthusiast has developed an online booking system for campsites in Europe.

The Dublin-based company connects holidaymakers with caravan and camping sites across Europe, and was founded in 2015. The genesis of the company was a very personal experience, O’Donoghue said.

“I grew up in Killarney in Co Kerry and spent all of my childhood and adolescence enjoying the outdoors. When our own kids came along, we decided to introduce them to the outdoor way of life and book a camping holiday abroad,” O’Donoghue told Connected.
