The UK is an excellent option for a road trip in a campervan hire. Camping is a popular holiday choice, meaning that campsites are well-established and come with a wide range of offerings, from laundry and playgrounds to a private spot in the forest with nothing but the sound of nature around you. Driving here is easy (as long as you remember to stay on the left!), and you won’t have to spend hours on the road if you’d prefer to stick to one region as there’s so much to do. If you’d like a taste of tradition, find out what local events are on during your stay and experience cheese rolling, fire festivals, and the best food and drink the region can provide.
Road rules are the same across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
You’ll find almost every type of campsite in the UK. Wild camping is allowed in Scotland only, but there are plenty of campsites in England and Wales that are as close-to-nature as they come.
There are plenty of events and festivals in the UK that are perfect for campervan enthusiasts. Check out our guide to fesitvals and events in the UK to learn more.
