The UK is a place that offers excellent potential for holidaying and has a brilliant mix of modern and cultural cities, brilliant shopping and thousands of miles of open countryside, rolling hills, coastline and beautiful landscape.

Campervans are becoming favoured by festival goers as a comfortable and warm place to sleep at night and a way to escape the muddy fields. The added security of a camper is also beneficial and belongings can be stored safely throughout the day and night.

Companies in popular campervan destinations such as South West England, the Lake District, Scottish Highlands and East Anglia have significantly increased demand during the summer months of July and August; prices during this time will be higher than in low season months such as November/December and January/February. If you are planning a campervan weekend during the summer months then it is advisable to book early, sometimes booking six months to a year in advance is required, particularly for classic VW campervans which are the most sought after.
