UK

There are many places that you can explore when touring the UK in a campervan, including beaches, towns, cities and national parks. The coastal communities can promise a getaway that you will surely not forget. One of the most popular coastal campsites can be found in Bryher, which is located in the Isles of Scilly. It has a glorious beach and there are quiet coves. If you are a surfer, head over to Treen Farm campsite and check out Whitesands Bay, which has the perfect waves for surfing. The Dunnet Bay Caravan and Camping Site in Scotland should not also be missed, as well as High Sand Creek Campsite in Norfolk.

 

USA

From rolling hills to flat plains, USA offers a diversity of landscapes that are ideal for campervan holidays. If you would like to take the route that is taken by most travellers, travel between LA to Chicago via Route 66. The state and national parks can offer accommodations when you need to rest from your road trip. However, it is important to make sure that you book your slot in advance to avoid running out of space for your camper van.

 

New Zealand

The stunning scenery in New Zealand makes it another top choice for campervan destinations. For sure, you will find yourself stopping a couple of times to just admire the awe-inspiring views that will unfold before your eyes, all of which are accessible with a rented campervan in New Zealand. The snow-capped peaks and idyllic beaches of New Zealand add up to its appeal. As it has been made famous by the Lord of the Rings trilogy, you can expect to see a lot of places that are worthy of being in the movies.

 

Australia

New Zealand’s neighbour is another destination that should be included in your list of campervan holidays to take. In fact, many would assert that this is one of the few countries in the world that is made specifically for campervan holidays. You can drive the entire day and not see anyone, yet you will feel rewarded for the experience. If you are looking for popular routes, take the drive from Adelaide to Darwin.
