Lancaster's castle has stood watch over the River Lune for more than 900 years, and parts of the fortress still serve as a Crown Court today. Compact yet full of character, this historic city in north-west England rewards curious travellers with a mix of Georgian architecture, independent shops, and green riverside walks. The Ashton Memorial in Williamson Park rises above the skyline — a striking Edwardian folly sometimes called "the Taj Mahal of the North." Stroll through Lancaster City Museum to trace the city's links to the canal age and maritime trade, or follow the towpath along the Lancaster Canal for a peaceful stretch on foot or by bike. The Dukes Theatre, housed in a former church, offers a lively programme of drama and live music year-round. For a change of scenery, Morecambe Bay is just 6 km to the west, where vast tidal flats attract wading birds and spectacular sunsets, while the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty begins roughly 11 km to the east, offering quiet lanes ideal for a campervan day trip. Lancaster's university quarter gives the city a youthful energy, with cafés and eateries clustered around the centre. Hiring a motorhome through Yescapa connects you with local owners who know the best overnight spots and scenic routes, making it easy to combine a city break with the surrounding countryside in one flexible trip by campervan.
Lancaster comes alive each October during the Light Up Lancaster festival, when buildings and public spaces are transformed by large-scale light installations. Summer months bring the Lancaster Music Festival in July, filling pubs, churches, and streets with free performances. Booking a campervan between May and September gives you the longest daylight hours for exploring the Lune Valley and Morecambe Bay. Spring and autumn are quieter, so you can often find more flexible availability and competitive rates through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform. Whenever you visit, plan your hire early for weekends and school holidays.
Lancaster is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Head 6 km west to Morecambe for its Art Deco Midland Hotel and the Eric Morecambe statue on the promenade. Continue 39 km around the bay to Arnside, a quiet village with walks up Arnside Knott. Campervan parking is available along the seafront at Morecambe, and Arnside has a small public car park near the viaduct.
Drive 55 km into the Forest of Bowland, passing through the Trough of Bowland — a narrow, winding road best taken slowly in a campervan. Stop at Dunsop Bridge, said to be the centre of Great Britain, and visit Slaidburn's Hark to Bounty pub. Quiet roadside laybys and small campsites dot the area.
Travel 120 km north-east into the Lake District, calling at Kendal for its famous mint cake and the Abbot Hall Art Gallery. Continue to Windermere for a lake cruise, then on to Keswick and Derwentwater. Motorhome-friendly campsites are plentiful, though booking ahead in summer is wise.
Head 150 km south-east through Settle and its iconic Ribblehead Viaduct to reach the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Explore Malham Cove's limestone pavement and the market town of Hawes, home to the Wensleydale Creamery. Several campsites welcome campervans with electric hook-ups and waste disposal.
Drive 210 km north-east to Northumberland, stopping at Carlisle to see the cathedral before continuing to Alnwick Castle and its famous gardens. Finish at Bamburgh, where the castle overlooks miles of sandy beach. Motorhome service points are available at several coastal campsites along the route.
Head 260 km south-west along the coast into North Wales, pausing at Conwy for its medieval walled town and castle. Continue to Betws-y-Coed, the gateway to Snowdonia National Park, and tackle the Llanberis Pass. Campervan drivers should note single-track sections on mountain roads; designated parking areas are well signed.

Lancaster sits between the coast and the Forest of Bowland, so you can choose from seaside pitches near Morecambe Bay or peaceful countryside sites inland. Most campsites in the area offer hardstanding and grass pitches with electric hook-ups suitable for both campervans and motorhomes. Facilities typically include shower blocks, waste disposal points, and fresh-water fill-up stations, with several sites also providing on-site shops and laundry rooms.
Lancaster city centre has a compact one-way system, so larger vehicles should plan routes carefully. Overnight parking in a motorhome or campervan on public streets is generally not permitted without specific signage allowing it. Look for dedicated facilities on the outskirts or at nearby coastal car parks where height barriers are absent.
Kevin was so helpful helping John and I embark on our first campervan journey with our dogs travelling the length of France in his lovely converted Boxer van we have all come to love as ''Olive''. The first trip of many our experience was overwhelmingly good. So many amazing places to stop at and amazing views from Blue Lakes , Vast Gorges and amazing views from High Mountain Passes, Olive got us there ! Then when we were all parked up she offered us such a lovely comfy place to spend the night. With mosquito nets and an ambient cooling system in the cab, we took some fans to cope with the ' above 40 degree at times, temperatures but the dogs and us were absolutely fine.. Olive's solar powered appliances really do work all day and through the night. Kevin was an amazing host - even though we 'lost ' his fuel tank cap! Don't ask us how! Id thoroughly recommend Olive to anyone . She is a lovely van and Kevin a great host.
Amazing renters ) Happy vacation in Lanzerote and hopefully see you soon again )
Miguel was the perfect person to rent a camper van from. The van had everything you could wish for. He was kind, extremely helpful and the test drive I requested really assisted me. . All the paperwork and communication was highly efficient and very fair. No issues at all. As a single female in my 60s I could not recommend a better person.
My partner and I have been on van trips before, but only borrowing friend's vans in the UK. This was our first time renting a van abroad, first time using Yescapa and first time exploring the Picos de Europa. Overall it was a super smooth experience and enabled us to have one of the best holidays ever - so we would fully recommend! Firstly, the booking experience. We were visiting during the eclipse and so we were wary that everything was getting booked up. We stumbled upon Yescapa and this van, then the booking experience was pretty simple so it kind of felt too good to be true. Picking up the van was a doddle, with all the instructions sent clearly over WhatsApp. This meant we felt comfortable hitting the ground running. Secondly, the van was absolutely perfect for our holiday. The shower out the back was perfect for cooling down and cleaning off after runs. The camp stove worked great for making porridge in the morning, and we were grateful for the included chairs - especially when it came to watching the eclipse. We found that the fridge tended to heat the cabin when it was running which meant it worked quite well for helping control the temperature i.e. we'd leave the fridge running if there was a cold night due. Finally, thank you to Safira the host for letting us use the van for our wonderful trip. She was very quick to respond to any questions, and super lovely in helping us out during pick-up and drop-off.
We had a lovely few days in France in the motorhome. We picked up about 30 minutes from Calais which was very convenient for the ferry. The van had everything we needed and we had a great time visiting the Normandy beaches and D day sites.
We had the best experience with this campervan and were so sad when it was time to hand it back! We had it for 3 nights during peak summer at a really reasonable price, and it was absolutely perfect for our little adventure. The host was fantastic and always replied incredibly quickly whenever we had a question. The van itself had everything we could possibly need and more. You can really tell that the owner has thought about all the little details — from salt and pepper, coffee and tea, to plenty of kitchenware and even a coffee machine! The bed was super comfortable and really easy to assemble, and the fan worked brilliantly, which was definitely appreciated during the summer heat. We honestly loved every minute of van life and were genuinely sad to leave. Thank you for helping make our trip so special — we would definitely recommend this campervan to anyone looking for an amazing adventure!
