In recent years, campervan travel has surged in popularity in the UK. Holidaymakers are discovering the freedom that this type of trip can bring, with many purchasing their own camper vans so that they have a holiday home on wheels.

This post will explore why these trips are so popular right now and why you might want to consider planning your own campervan adventure. Read on to find out more.

Freedom & Flexibility

There is a sense of freedom and flexibility with campervan holidays that is hard to match. You have complete control over your itinerary, route, and pace, which means you are not locked into hotel check-in times or fixed transport schedules. Post-pandemic travel habits in the UK have shifted in recent years, with many focusing on road trips and self-contained vehicles, so it is easy to see why campervan travel has become such a popular option. 

Cost Effectiveness & Value

Campervan holidays can also be much more cost-effective than an overseas holiday. In addition to avoiding expensive travel costs, you also have your accommodation and dining expenses reduced as you are travelling, sleeping, and eating in the vehicle.

Owning a more compact campervan also tends to lower fuel, maintenance, and parking costs relative to a full-sized motorhome. Those who own their own motorhome will also have a holiday home on wheels, helping to make huge savings on vacations annually. 

Improved Practicalities & Modern Infrastructure

Modern campervans are highly efficient and well-equipped with storage solutions, cooking facilities, entertainment, and improved fuel economy, allowing for a more comfortable travel experience.

The UK’s touring infrastructure is also improving with recent updates to roadside and overnight parking guidance and clearer local regulations for overnight stays, which can make planning simpler. Campervan insurance is also now more flexible, making it easier to find suitable cover before departing. 

Close to Nature & Unique Experiences

Finally, you will find that campervan travel allows you to stay in scenic and/or remote locations, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature. You can also stop when and where you like for spontaneous adventures and unique experiences.

More and more UK travellers are choosing domestic road trips because of new travel dynamics. With so many incredible places to see all over the UK, planning a campervan adventure can be exciting, and it is a great way to discover the natural beauty on show throughout the UK.

As you can see, there are many reasons to consider a campervan trip for your next holiday. This type of travel has surged in popularity in the UK since the pandemic, with more and more people turning to staycations as opposed to expensive overseas vacations.

With a campervan holiday, you can enjoy unparalleled freedom, the ability to save a huge amount of money, improved practicalities, and the ability to immerse yourself in the UK’s beautiful natural scenery.
