Why choose Chesterfield for your road trip

Chesterfield — a city worth exploring

Chesterfield's famous Crooked Spire at the Church of St Mary and All Saints twists 45 degrees and leans nearly 3 metres from its true centre, making it one of the most recognisable landmarks in the East Midlands. This market town in Derbyshire sits at the gateway to the Peak District National Park, giving you easy access to rolling hills, limestone dales and open moorland — ideal terrain for a campervan adventure. Stroll through the open-air Chesterfield Market, one of the largest in England, held every Monday, Friday and Saturday in the town centre. The Pomegranate Theatre, one of the oldest civic theatres in the country, offers a packed programme of live performances, while Chesterfield Museum and Art Gallery traces the town's history from Roman times to the industrial age. Hardwick Hall, the grand Elizabethan country house managed by the National Trust, lies just 15 km to the south-east, and the spa town of Buxton is roughly 30 km to the west along the A6. The surrounding roads are well suited to motorhome travel, with wide A-roads connecting Chesterfield to the M1 motorway and quieter lanes leading into the Peaks. With Yescapa, you hire your campervan directly from local owners in the area, which means flexible pick-up arrangements and genuine tips on the best routes through Derbyshire's countryside.

Best time to visit

Chesterfield comes alive in summer when the Medieval Fun Day fills the town centre each July with costumed re-enactments and craft stalls. The Peak District on your doorstep is at its greenest from May to September, perfect for parking up your campervan and exploring the trails. Autumn brings the Chesterfield Food and Drink Festival, usually held in October, celebrating local Derbyshire produce. Book your motorhome hire through Yescapa well ahead for the summer months, when peer-to-peer prices still tend to be friendlier than traditional hire companies. Spring and winter each have their own appeal — quieter campsites and crisp walks across the moors.

Where to park your motorhome

Chesterfield offers several car parks that can accommodate larger vehicles, though it is worth checking height barriers before entering multi-storey facilities. Overnight parking in a motorhome on public roads is generally permitted unless local signage states otherwise, but dedicated aires or overnight stops are limited in the town centre. Using a nearby campsite for overnight stays is the most reliable option.

  • Saltergate Multi-Storey Car Park, Adjacent to the city — Central location near the Crooked Spire; check height restrictions as upper levels may not suit taller vehicles.
  • Rose Hill Car Park, 1km north — Open-air car park with good clearance for campervans. Short walk to the town centre and market.

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Chesterfield

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

Annemijn
5 / 5

Very nice owners, kind and flexible! The camper van was easy to understand, and comfortable to use - above expectation. Thank you!!

Elizabeth
4 / 5

Paloma was a pleasure to drive and really comfortable for our family of four. The van was equipped with everything we needed, beds were spacious and had safety nets, the shower and toilet were very handy, there was plenty of storage space and lots of room to move around. Susana was really helpful and accommodating and very easy to communicate with throughout our trip. The only disappointing aspect is that the fridge did not work, and the freezer only worked when plugged in. While the freezer was ok for keeping some items cool, it did make things considerably more difficult for us - we were travelling with 2 young children and cooked for ourselves most evenings. It was frustrating having to visit a shop every day/every other day and we ended up having to bin quite a lot of food. It is a shame this wasn't mentioned in the listing as it would have impacted our decision to book the van. Every other aspect was faultless and despite the issue with the fridge we had a really wonderful 2 week adventure in Paloma. We would definitely recommend if you are happy to operate without a fridge and can rely on the freezer.
