The UK is a diverse mix of stunning coastlines, breathtaking countryside and historic towns and villages that change with the seasons. Well equipped for whatever you have planned, our VW camper hire is equally suited for summer breaks at the beach or a warm and cosy retreat from tackling the great outdoors.
But where to go? Well that’s the beauty of campervan rental, home is where you park it. Whether you like the security of knowing that a confirmed pitch is waiting, or you prefer to get to a rough destination and check out the options when you get there, the following info should be of interest.
Lonely Planet guides for England, Scotland or Wales are also supplied to help you plan your adventure once out and about and are a great resource for both campsites and local attractions.

Campsite alternatives
Aside from established campsites, choices for an overnight stop is limited as in England and Wales it’s illegal to pitch up wherever you like. Car parks and lay-by’s are a no go for anything other than a 20 minute nap, there are however a couple of options:
Private land If you don’t ask you don’t get, after all they can only say no. The best approach is to be polite and honest about intentions and don’t push for a yes.
Motorway services Very handy if on a long haul as the name suggests they are well just off the motorway, but be sure to pay attention to the pay and display timings.
