Roadsurfer to Open New York, Portland Camper Stations
The German camper rental company will add two U.S. locations in 2027 to serve fast-growing demand on the East and West Coasts.
Updated on Nov. 11, 2026 in Camping
Roadsurfer plans to open camper rental stations in New York and Portland, with first pick-ups in New York in early April 2027. Both locations are bookable now and will support one-way rentals between the company's U.S. stations.
Why it matters
The expansion closes gaps on the East and West Coasts, where roadsurfer says demand is growing fastest. For U.S. travelers, it adds pick-up options for road trips in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest.
Roadsurfer reports North American bookings are up around 55% year to date compared to the same period last year. The company operates around 100 stations in 16 countries with a fleet of roughly 10,000 vehicles, and the planned U.S. network will reach eleven locations in 2027.
The players
Roadsurfer
A camper rental company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Munich, Germany, which operates around 100 stations across Europe, the United States and Canada.
The details
Roadsurfer, founded in 2016, rents campervans that include unlimited mileage and a full camping kit. Travelers can pick up a camper at one station and return it at another, and both the New York and Portland stations are open for booking now.
Timeline
2022: First U.S. station opened in Los Angeles.
2024: San Francisco and Las Vegas stations opened.
2025: Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, Seattle and Miami stations opened.
2026: Dallas station opened.
Early April 2027: First pick-ups at the New York station.
Culture Shift
Roadsurfer's U.S. rollout began with its first Los Angeles station in 2022 and has since spread to nine more cities, following a pattern of growing interest in camper travel. The New York and Portland stations extend that sequence to the East and West Coasts.
Road-trip planners in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest will gain a closer pick-up point and can book one-way rentals between U.S. stations. Bookings are open now for both new locations.
The takeaway
Campers who plan trips across regions now have more pick-up and drop-off options than before. Booking early may matter, since North American demand has risen about 55% this year.
What happens next
First pick-ups at the New York station are scheduled for early April 2027.
