Why choose Newark-on-Trent for your road trip

Newark-on-Trent — a city worth exploring

Newark-on-Trent's castle ruins have overlooked the River Trent since the 12th century, and it was here that King John died in 1216 after losing the Crown Jewels in The Wash. This market town in Nottinghamshire sits at the crossroads of the A1 and A46, making it a natural base for exploring the East Midlands by road. The National Civil War Centre tells the story of Newark's three sieges during the English Civil War, while the cobbled Market Place — one of the largest in England — hosts a bustling market four days a week. A short walk along the riverside brings you to the beautifully restored Newark Town Lock, and the nearby Sconce and Devon Park offers green space ideal for a morning stroll. Lincoln, with its magnificent cathedral, lies just 26 km to the north-east, and the legendary Sherwood Forest is roughly 32 km to the west. The flat terrain of the Trent Valley and well-maintained A-roads make this area particularly easy to navigate in a larger vehicle. Whether you arrive in a campervan or a motorhome, you will find the surrounding countryside welcoming and well connected. Through Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners in the Newark-on-Trent area, which means personal tips on the best routes and a more flexible pick-up experience than traditional depots offer. It is a practical, friendly way to start your next road trip from the heart of England.

Best time to visit

Newark-on-Trent comes alive in June during the Newark Festival, a weekend of live music and family entertainment in the castle grounds. The International Antiques and Collectors Fair, held several times a year at the Newark Showground, draws visitors from across Europe — check dates and book your campervan early for those weekends. Summer months offer the longest daylight hours for exploring the Trent Valley, while autumn brings quieter roads and golden colours along the river. With Yescapa, you benefit from peer-to-peer pricing that often stays competitive even in peak season, so hiring a motorhome in Newark-on-Trent need not stretch the budget.

Frequently asked questions

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Newark-on-Trent

LINDSAY
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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a great experience. All went smoothly and the camper van was perfect. Mike was very accommodating and communicative throughout and we would recommend highly.

Viviane
5 / 5

Communication was easy, the vehicle is in good condition and looks like the shared photos. Has the amenities needed and comfy bedding. Having the solar charger is a plus given we didn't drive much, so there was no need for recharging with electricity.
