“PaulCamper; always on the Green List”

PaulCamper, Europe’s largest online platform for motorhome and campervan sharing, has shared the top UK destinations proving a hit with Brits renting campervans and motorhomes this summer.

With UK travellers turning pent-up travel dreams into reality as they look for ways to meaningfully connect and safely reunite with their loved ones, staycation availability is limited but, PaulCamper has some great motorhome and campervan options available for summer rental. When it comes to locations, beach towns and national parks are fueling summer wanderlust with UK visitors gravitating towards these top destinations.

In its central location, The Peak District is the ultimate destination with popular activities including kayaking on Carsington or Tittesworth water, cycling along the Tissington Trail or going for a walk in the historic grounds of Ilam Park or Chatsworth House. The wealth of independent cafes, ice cream farms and breweries also make it a foodies’ heaven.

Pitch up at one of the many campsites surrounding Ashbourne or Bakewell.

A particular hit with almost 2 miles of sand making it a perfect beach for various activities including surfing, hiking, kite surfing, kayaking, paddle-boarding and fishing. Taking a walk right down to the southern end takes you to a walk-through cave and numerous sheltered bays.

Newgale Campsite (https://newgalecampsite.co.uk) sits in a beachfront destination adjacent to the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and caters for Tents, Tourers, Caravans and Motorhomes.

Shrouded in myth and legend Glastonbury Tor is a classic destination for any campervan enthusiast.  Echoing with the sound and memory of Glastonbury Festival, this hill in the Isle of Avalon offers amazing views across five counties and off to the sea. The town centre is a unique and vibrant destination, where you will find everything from mythical and magical shops to the best vegetarian food.

Old Oaks (https://www.theoldoaks.co.uk), an adults only campsite, situated at the foot of the Tor is perfect for exploring the area.

Explore Glastonbury in ‘Bertie’ – a brand new Autotrail Imala 736G. He’s all kitted out and with automatic transmission your journey can be as relaxing as your destination!

Orkney, in the Northern Isles of Scotland, is forged by 5000 years of unique history and the village of Evie is located at the northern end of mainland Orkney looking out across Eynhallow Sound towards the island of Rousay.

Eynhallow sound and its emerald sapphire coloured water with beautiful golden beaches makes it a top spot to relax or take a dip in the sea. Alternatively, head over to the bronze age settlement, The Broch of Gurness – a village which began between 500 BC and 200 BC.

The largest gorge in England, Cheddar is a must see. Located in an area of outstanding beauty, the drive in a campervan up the Gorge whilst dodging goats and marvelling at 400ft cliffs is memorable. Cheddar also has Britain’s largest underground river system.

Cheddar Bridge Touring Park is a short walk from the village and gorge and a recommended walk takes in the whole of the gorge offering incredible views to the west.

Steven Hagenah, UK Country Lead for PaulCamper said; “The Great British staycation is firmly back, and our owners are ready to provide campervans and motorhomes to families and loved ones so they can safely reconnect.

“As everyone is currently forced to plan more than normal, I hope renters will consider hiring a camper and be a bit spontaneous again in just seeing where the road takes them since a range of campsites still have availability for pitch spots this summer.

“We have a diverse range of motorhomes and campervans available so whether a seasoned camper or new to the experience, I hope they have a great summer of camping ahead.”

PaulCamper gives holidaymakers the option to hire motorhomes and campervans that suit their style from as little as £70.00 a night. All rentals include fully comprehensive insurance and roadside assistance provided by the AA.

PaulCamper was born out of CEO Dirk Fehse’s personal experience of exploring Australia in a rented camper. Upon his return to Germany, he purchased his own campervan – a VWT4 christened “Paul”. To finance running costs and insurance, Dirk rented out “Paul” when he wasn’t out exploring with him and “PaulCamper” was born.
