Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Caerphilly

Caerphilly — a region worth exploring

Caerphilly Castle, built between 1268 and 1271, is the largest castle in Wales and the second largest in Britain, covering roughly 30 acres of land and water defences. The town sits at the southern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, giving you direct access to rolling uplands, wooded valleys, and open moorland ideal for touring by campervan. From Caerphilly to Cardiff is just 11 km, making it easy to combine urban culture with countryside escapes, while the 50 km drive north to Brecon takes you through the heart of the Valleys. The Rhymney Valley Ridgeway Walk passes close to town, offering panoramic views across to the Bristol Channel, and the Caerphilly Mountain Common is a popular spot for short hikes and wildlife watching. Nearby, the Llancaiach Fawr Manor in Nelson brings 17th-century history to life, and the Cwmcarn Forest Drive provides a scenic 11 km loop through conifer woodland perfect for a motorhome day trip. The region's compact geography means you can explore former mining heritage at the Rhondda Heritage Park in the morning and be parked up beside a reservoir in the Brecon Beacons by afternoon. With Yescapa, you hire your campervan directly from local owners across south Wales, choosing from a range of vehicles to suit your group size and travel style.

Best time to visit

May to September is the prime window for a campervan trip around Caerphilly, when longer daylight hours let you make the most of outdoor attractions. The Big Cheese Festival, held each July in the castle grounds, draws thousands with live music, re-enactments, and street food. Autumn brings rich colour to the Brecon Beacons and quieter campsites, while spring wildflower displays along the Taff Trail are well worth an early booking. Through Yescapa, you can often find better rates outside the peak summer weeks, as local owners set their own prices — giving you flexibility to plan a Caerphilly adventure that fits your budget.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Caerphilly

The M4 motorway runs just south of Caerphilly, connecting Cardiff to Swansea and the Severn crossing into England. There are no toll roads in the immediate area since the Severn Bridge tolls were abolished in 2018. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.05 tonnes are 50 mph on single carriageways and 60 mph on dual carriageways and motorways. The A469 and A468 are the main routes into town, both well-suited to larger vehicles. Watch for narrower lanes on rural roads heading into the Valleys, where passing places may be needed.

I had the most wonderful trip in Eve’s van. It has everything you need, a great sized fridge, a large comfy bed, cooking equipment, electrics to be off grid, a great shower & toilet. The van ran very smoothly and was a perfect size even driving through the towns was no problem at all. They were very accommodating, helping me with local tip and recommendations. I’d 100% recommend this van to anyone thinking of taking a road trip, you won’t regret it :)

Inigio and his lovely girlfriend looked after Dolly for one week here in the Algarve area. They brought her back clean and in really good shape. Before and during the rental period we had a very good dialogue. I can highly reccomend them to lend your car. :-)

Our trip was fantastic, couldn't recommend travelling Sicily via Camper further. Angela and Luca made that super easy with clear comms and help pre booking, during holiday and after. pick up and drop off was a breeze. Clear instructions on how to use the van. All in all great trip.

Fantastic experience. Raul really went above and beyond to help us out and was always responsive with any queries we had. The van was in excellent condition, had everything we needed, and was ideal for our trip into the Pyrenees, plus heading south for the solar eclipse. Would highly recommend.
