Why hire a campervan or motorhome in North Yorkshire

North Yorkshire — a region worth exploring

North Yorkshire stretches across 3,341 square miles, making it the largest ceremonial county in England and a region built for exploration on four wheels. The North York Moors National Park alone covers 554 square miles of heather moorland, while the Yorkshire Dales National Park to the west offers limestone pavements, waterfalls, and sweeping valleys. From Whitby, where the ruins of the 7th-century abbey overlook the harbour, to the elegant spa town of Harrogate roughly 65 miles inland, the landscape shifts from rugged coastline to rolling farmland and dramatic fell country. The drive from York to Scarborough covers around 40 miles and takes you through the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty home to Castle Howard. North Yorkshire's road network is well suited to campervans and motorhomes, with wide A-roads connecting market towns like Ripon, Thirsk, and Helmsley, and quieter lanes winding through the Dales. Coastal routes along the Heritage Coast between Staithes and Filey pass through fishing villages and clifftop car parks with sea views. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan or motorhome directly from local owners across North Yorkshire, choosing from a range of vehicles to match your group size and travel style. Whether you want a compact campervan for a weekend on the moors or a fully equipped motorhome for a fortnight touring the Dales, peer-to-peer hire means more choice and a personal touch from people who know the area.

Best time to visit

North Yorkshire is wonderful from late spring through autumn. May and June bring wildflower displays across the Dales and longer daylight hours for coastal walks. The Great Yorkshire Show, held each July in Harrogate, is one of England's premier agricultural events and well worth timing your trip around. Autumn transforms the North York Moors into a carpet of purple heather, typically peaking in August and September. Campsites across North Yorkshire are generally open from March to October, with the widest availability in summer. Booking through Yescapa outside peak school holidays can offer better value, as peer-to-peer hire prices tend to be more flexible in shoulder months.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in North Yorkshire

North Yorkshire's main routes include the A1(M) motorway running north–south through the western side of the county, which is toll-free. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.05 tonnes are 50 mph on single carriageways and 60 mph on dual carriageways and motorways. Many roads through the Dales and Moors are single-track with passing places, so a smaller campervan can be easier to manoeuvre on these stretches. The A64 connects York to Scarborough and is well maintained with regular lay-bys. Watch for height restrictions on some older bridges in market towns, and always check your vehicle dimensions before heading into narrow valleys.

Gareth
5 / 5

We have just returned from our 11 day trip in Jean’s fantastic camper van. Thanks to Jean and Emma’s good English the whole experience was very easy and relaxed. The van had everything we needed for our trip, touring parts of Germany, Austria, and France. As newcomers to camper van life we learned so much and were able to camp without the need to plug in to electric for days on end thanks to the great solar and battery system on the van and the on board water and waste tanks. Many thanks for a great holiday Jean and family! Thanks from Gareth & Samantha!

Simon
5 / 5

Thank you for an amazing holiday. We can't recommend this van enough. From the very first communication everything was 100%. The van was clean and had everything we needed for a three week trip. Everything was explained in detail and we were given advice and ideas for places to visit. We will be back again.
