Wild and free: the best UK campervan holidays for a last minute summer getaway

Maybe it’s wanderlust from films set on the open road. Maybe it’s the huge community of influencers making it look enviable. Maybe it’s a simple desire to escape the day-to-day. Whatever the reason, van life looks seriously tempting right now. Just look at the hashtag of the same name on Instagram: it’s been used a whopping 15.5 million times. It’s no surprise when you consider the perks: you can go where you please, immerse yourself in nature and go back to basics.

A permanent switch to life on four wheels might not be an option, but we can all get a taste of van life on a campervan holiday in the UK. Cheaper and more flexible than hotels or cottage rentals, and comfier than traditional camping, it makes for an unforgettable adventure whether you motor off as a couple, a group of friends, or a family with dog in tow.
