Why choose Askern for your road trip

Askern — a city worth exploring

Askern sits at the northern edge of Doncaster, where the former spa town's Askern Lake — once a destination for visitors seeking its mineral-rich waters in the 18th century — still forms the centrepiece of the local park. Today this South Yorkshire settlement offers a quieter base for exploring the surrounding countryside and heritage sites. The Askern Miners' Memorial stands as a tribute to the area's coal-mining past, while Campsall Country Park, just 3 km to the south, provides woodland walks and a Norman church dating back to the 12th century. Norton Priory ruins lie nearby, and the Trans Pennine Trail passes within easy reach for cyclists and walkers. Doncaster town centre is only 11 km to the south, home to the Doncaster Minster and the famous Doncaster Racecourse, while Selby is roughly 30 km to the north-east, offering its magnificent medieval abbey. The flat, open landscape around Askern makes for straightforward driving in a motorhome, with wide rural roads connecting villages across the Vale of York. If you are planning a trip through this part of Yorkshire, hiring a campervan through Yescapa connects you directly with local owners who know the best routes and overnight spots. A campervan gives you the freedom to combine Askern's peaceful surroundings with day trips to the Yorkshire coast or the Peak District without the hassle of fixed accommodation.

Best time to visit

Askern is enjoyable throughout the year, though late spring and summer bring the longest days for exploring the countryside. The Askern Gala, typically held in June, fills the village with community events and entertainment. Doncaster's St Leger Festival in September, just 11 km south, is one of the oldest horse-racing events in the world and well worth a visit. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa during the quieter months from October to March often means more flexible pricing thanks to the peer-to-peer model, and you will find campsites in the area less busy. Book ahead for summer weekends to secure your preferred motorhome.

William
5 / 5

First time hiring through Yescampa and Victor made it super easy. We navigated the language barrier with Google translate and he was very helpful explaining how to use all features of the vehicle. For a family of four exploring andulicua this was ideal.

Attila
5 / 5

The trip was amazing. Francesca, the owner, helped us a lot and was always available. The van was really good, with big space inside. Highly recommended.

Andrea
5 / 5

Dominique is a wonderful, kind and attentive host. The van was perfect, clean and cosy. We loved the trip even though the high altitude passes were very scary especially as we are driving on the wrong side of the road!

Martin
5 / 5

Andre couldn’t have been more helpful, plus he is a positive, warm individual. The camper was superb in every way, hygienic, beautiful handling and equipped with everything needed, no silly extras for bedding. Brand new mattresses that were so comfortable and all the windows had bug netting so nothing could get in or bite us. Will definitely do this again, PLUS great value. Very very happy with service and equipment
