Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Leicestershire

Leicestershire — a region worth exploring

Leicestershire is home to the National Forest, a 200-square-mile landscape project that has seen over nine million trees planted since the 1990s, transforming former coalfields into one of England's most ambitious rewilding efforts. The county sits at the heart of the Midlands, making it a superb base for exploring central England by road. From the medieval streets of Leicester itself — where the remains of King Richard III were famously discovered beneath a car park in 2012 — to the rolling countryside of Charnwood Forest and the ancient granite outcrops of Bradgate Park, there is plenty to discover at your own pace. The distance from Leicester to Melton Mowbray, the pork pie capital of Britain, is just 24 km, while Market Harborough in the south lies roughly 26 km from the city centre, giving you a compact yet varied touring area. Leicestershire's flat to gently undulating terrain is ideal for campervans and motorhomes of all sizes, with wide A-roads connecting market towns and villages without the tight lanes you might encounter further west. The county also borders Rutland, home to Rutland Water, one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe and a haven for birdwatchers and cyclists. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners across Leicestershire, choosing from a range of vehicles to suit your group and your plans — a flexible, community-driven way to hit the road.

Best time to visit

Leicestershire is enjoyable throughout the year, though May to September offers the longest days and warmest weather for touring. The Melton Mowbray Food Festival, usually held each October, is a brilliant excuse to visit in autumn, while the Leicester Caribbean Carnival lights up the city every August. Spring is a lovely time to explore Bradgate Park when the bluebells are in bloom. Campsites across Leicestershire tend to be busiest in July and August, so booking ahead is worthwhile. With Yescapa, you benefit from peer-to-peer pricing, which often means better value outside peak months — ideal for a midweek campervan escape.

Frequently asked questions

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Leicestershire

Matthew
5 / 5

We hired Trina for 5 nights earlier this July. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time on the island. Jandro was incredibly helpful, always on hand before and during the trip to answer any questions which really helped us navigate the island and enjoy our trip. The vehicle was fantastic, an incredible experience to drive. All the amenities were brilliant as well. I would highly recommend using Jandro and one of his vans for a fantastic Mallorca experience!

5 / 5

Communication with the owner was great, van was immaculate, heaps of choice, love the peer to peer concept. Easy to add an extra driver and ID checks were very thorough but straightforward. Changing dates wasn't so easy, the owner was great, but the process at the back end took some manual effort. Teething problems, not a big deal. Main area that needs improving (for me anyway) is the deposit. There was a single line in a table stating Deposit: cash or transfer, that I hadn't seen. The owner asked for the cash or a transfer when we were at the car, which he explained was normal process, but Yescapa could have explained beforehand. I transferred €2000 directly to the owner, which didn't feel comfortable. I had expected this would all be done via Yescapa. I ended up losing €45 in exchange rate variations + fees as well, the owner's bank had challenges which meant it to 5 days to get a lot of cash back. It was lucky we had that amount at hand. I would use Yescapa again. I hope they can tidy up and improve the processes though.

Incredible time spent across the south of France with an incredible van! From beach, lakes, mountains and fields, it got me places I didn’t even pre conceive. Can’t speak more highly of my over all experience from van collection at train station to drop off. Drives smoother than my Suzuki jimny and can confirm very 6ft 4 friendly.

Aaron
5 / 5

We had an amazing experience hiring Eli's campervan! It was perfect for our family of four – myself, my partner, and our two young daughters. The van was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our trip. It was easy to drive, well-equipped, and made exploring the malaga so much more enjoyable. The owners were friendly, helpful, and made the whole rental process smooth from start to finish. We made some unforgettable family memories and wouldn't hesitate to rent this campervan again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and hassle-free adventure in Spain. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
