Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire — a region worth exploring

Gloucestershire's Cotswold Way stretches 164 km from Chipping Campden to Bath, tracing a limestone escarpment that has shaped the county's character for centuries. The county sits at the meeting point of the Cotswolds, the Severn Vale, and the Forest of Dean, giving you an extraordinary range of landscapes to explore from a single base. From Gloucester Cathedral — whose cloisters doubled as Hogwarts corridors — to the elegant Regency terraces of Cheltenham, the distance is just 14 km, making it easy to combine culture and countryside in one trip. Head west and you reach the Forest of Dean, a 110-square-kilometre ancient woodland threaded with cycling trails and sculpture walks. The Severn Estuary, famous for its tidal bore, adds a dramatic natural spectacle, while market towns like Stow-on-the-Wold, Tewkesbury, and Cirencester reward slow exploration with independent shops and centuries-old pubs. Roads through the Cotswolds roll gently between honey-coloured villages, well suited to both campervans and larger motorhomes, though narrower lanes around the Forest of Dean favour smaller vehicles. Cheltenham to Stow-on-the-Wold is roughly 26 km, a perfect afternoon drive with stops along the way. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners across Gloucestershire, choosing from a range of vehicles that match your group size and travel style — a flexible, community-driven way to discover this remarkable county.

Best time to visit

Gloucestershire comes alive from May to September, when long daylight hours let you make the most of the Cotswolds and Forest of Dean. The Cheltenham Literature Festival in October draws visitors from across the country, while the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling near Brockworth each late May bank holiday is a uniquely Gloucestershire spectacle. Summer is the busiest period for campsites, so booking your campervan through Yescapa early gives you the widest choice and often better rates from local owners. Spring and autumn bring quieter roads and golden light across the limestone villages — ideal for a motorhome tour at a relaxed pace.

Forest of Dean Explorer

95 km 3–6 days

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire is well connected by the M5 motorway, which runs north–south through the county, and the A417, linking Gloucester to Cirencester. Motorways in England are toll-free, though larger motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes must observe a speed limit of 60 mph on motorways and 50 mph on single carriageways. Many Cotswold roads are single-track with passing places, so plan your route if you are driving a wider vehicle. The M5 has regular service stations with facilities suitable for campervans and motorhomes, including waste disposal at some stops. Watch for height restrictions on older bridges in the Forest of Dean area.

¡Experiencia de 10 con Blanca y su furgoneta! 🚐✨ No podríamos haber pedido una mejor anfitriona para nuestro fin de semana en Mallorca. Al ser una escapada de solo un par de días, el tiempo era muy valioso para nosotros, y Blanca se adaptó a nuestros horarios sin ningún problema. Nuestro vuelo se retrasó y llegamos de madrugada, pero nos esperó con la mejor de las sonrisas y una energía superalegre. ¡Eso no tiene precio! (La camper esta solo a 15 minutos del aeropuerto, ideal!) La campervan está en perfecto estado y supercompleta, no le falta absolutamente nada. Fue la manera ideal de aprovechar al máximo el fin de semana, recorriendo la isla con total libertad y sin ataduras de itinerarios. Algunos tips para futuros viajeros: Para dormir: Les recomendamos intentar aparcar cerca del mar, ya que por la noche refresca más si se pone caluroso. Aparcamiento: Se puede estacionar gratis en la calle en la mayoría de los pueblos (salvo que la señalización indique lo contrario). Si prefieren más comodidades, también hay campings con servicios disponibles. Por último, no dejen de conocer Palma y hacer un walking tour vale muchísimo la pena es hermosa. ¡Gracias por todo, Blanca! Sin duda, repetiríamos con ella con los ojos cerrados. ❤️

We really enjoyed our travels around Brittany in Clarisse's camper van. It was comfortable and easy to drive and had everything we needed for our holiday. Clarisse explained everything clearly to us before we set off.
