Why hire a campervan in South West?
A campervan is the ideal way to explore South West. Instead of booking hotels and doubling back each night, you carry your bed, kitchen and plans with you — waking up next to Cornwall and moving on whenever the mood takes you.
With Cornwall, Dartmoor, the Jurassic Coast and Exmoor within reach, South West packs a lot into one trip. Most vans sleep two to four and drive on a normal licence, so they suit couples and families alike. Prices typically run about £70–£160 a night, and everything below will help you plan — then book directly with the owner on Goboony.
Where to go from South West
A campervan in South West puts these within easy reach:
Cornwall
Surf beaches, fishing harbours and the far south-western tip of Britain at Land’s End.
Dartmoor
Wild open moorland dotted with tors and ponies — and some of England’s few wild-camping spots.
Jurassic Coast
A 95-mile World Heritage coastline of fossil-rich cliffs, coves and sea arches.
Exmoor
Moorland meeting a spectacular coast, with dark skies and red deer.
Trip idea: a classic route from South West links Cornwall, Dartmoor and the Jurassic Coast — an easy loop you can stretch or shorten to fit the days you have.
Best time to hire a campervan in South West
The main season in South West runs Easter to October, with July and August the busiest and most expensive. May, June and September are ideal — long days, better prices and quieter roads. Vans are available year-round; a spring or autumn trip is often the best value, just pack for changeable weather and book a heated van for the shoulder months.
What it costs
Expect around £70–£160 a night for a campervan in South West. What you actually pay comes down to:
- Season — summer and holidays cost the most; spring and autumn are far better value.
- Van size & age — a newer six-berth costs more than a classic two-berth camper.
- Trip length — weekly hires usually bring the nightly rate down.
- Extras — insurance cover, mileage limits, camping gear and one-way or airport pick-ups.
On Goboony, the price you see includes the owner's rates upfront, and you book and pay securely through the platform.
Driving & staying in South West
A campervan is easy to drive on a car licence and narrow enough for most UK lanes, though the single-track roads and tight coastal villages around South West reward taking it slowly. Book campsites in advance for summer and bank holidays; many have electric hook-up, showers and a dump point. Wild camping is only broadly legal in Scotland — elsewhere always park overnight with permission or on a proper pitch.
