If there’s one caravan that stands out from the crowd, it’s the Basecamp. Lightweight, rugged and designed for adventure, it’s the crossover caravan that blurs the line between leisure and lifestyle.
For 2026, Swift have streamlined the line-up. The Basecamp 3 and 4 have been discontinued, leaving just the Basecamp 2 – the original compact two-berth that put Basecamp on the map.
So what’s different this year, who’s it for, and where can you see it in person?
Let’s talk Basecamp.
The Basecamp sits apart from the rest of Swift’s touring range. Rather than being about plush lounges or fixed beds, it’s built around flexibility and freedom. With its compact body, distinctive styling and practical rear access, it’s made for people who see the caravan as a base for adventure rather than the main event.
Perfect for couples and solo travellers, it’s light to tow, easy to live with, and tough enough for muddy boots, bikes and boards. If you want the essence of Basecamp, start with the Basecamp 2.
The Basecamp 2 is aimed at people who want freedom without fuss. The end lounge converts quickly into a comfortable double bed, while the compact kitchen and washroom give you everything you need without stealing storage space for your gear. If your caravan supports the adventure rather than replaces it, Basecamp 2 is the one to shortlist.
