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.

Frequently asked questions

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Askern

Gareth
5 / 5

We have just returned from our 11 day trip in Jean’s fantastic camper van. Thanks to Jean and Emma’s good English the whole experience was very easy and relaxed. The van had everything we needed for our trip, touring parts of Germany, Austria, and France. As newcomers to camper van life we learned so much and were able to camp without the need to plug in to electric for days on end thanks to the great solar and battery system on the van and the on board water and waste tanks. Many thanks for a great holiday Jean and family! Thanks from Gareth & Samantha!

Thank you for an amazing holiday. We can't recommend this van enough. From the very first communication everything was 100%. The van was clean and had everything we needed for a three week trip. Everything was explained in detail and we were given advice and ideas for places to visit. We will be back again.

Absolutely loved staying in Alfreds campervan. The decor was beautiful. It had everything we needed, a perfect space for two people for time in nature travelling. It was so good having a fridge on the road. He answered any questions I had and the pick up/ drop off was great. Would definitely love to rent it again in the future when we come back to Spain. Thank you!

Patrick was very friendly and went above and beyond his duty to make sure everything went smoothly. He even took us to the station after we dropped the van off. We would highly recommend him.
