Why choose Oxford for your road trip

Oxford — a city worth exploring

Oxford's Bodleian Library has been a working library since 1602, making it one of the oldest in Europe and home to over 13 million printed items. The city's 38 colleges form the University of Oxford, and their architecture spans nearly every major English style from the medieval to the modern. You can wander through the covered market on High Street, which has traded since 1774, or visit the Ashmolean Museum, the world's first university museum, opened in 1683. The Pitt Rivers Museum houses over half a million archaeological and ethnographic objects, while Christ Church College doubles as both an academic institution and the city's cathedral. Beyond the dreaming spires, the Thames Path runs right through Oxford, offering peaceful waterside walks. The Cotswolds lie just 40 km to the west, and Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, sits only 13 km to the north. Oxford's compact centre can feel busy for larger vehicles, but the surrounding countryside opens up with well-connected A-roads and quieter lanes ideal for touring by campervan. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners across Oxfordshire, giving you the flexibility of a motorhome without the formality of a traditional depot. Whether you want to explore the colleges on foot and retreat to your campervan each evening, or use Oxford as a launchpad for the wider region, the peer-to-peer model means more choice and a more personal start to your trip.

Best time to visit

Oxford is wonderful to visit from late spring through to early autumn. The Oxford Literary Festival in March brings readers and writers to venues across the city, while the May Morning celebrations on 1 May see crowds gather at Magdalen Bridge to hear the college choir sing at dawn. Summer months are ideal for exploring by campervan, with long daylight hours and easy access to surrounding countryside. Booking your Yescapa hire early for July and August is a smart move, as this is the most popular season. September and October reward you with quieter roads and golden light along the Thames Path, perfect for a relaxed motorhome tour of the Cotswolds and beyond.

Top getaways from Oxford

Oxford is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways

Oxford to the Cotswolds

65km west 1–3 days

Head 65 km west from Oxford into the rolling Cotswolds. Stop in Burford to browse its antique shops and visit the Church of St John the Baptist. Continue to Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold for classic stone villages. Campervan parking is available at several dedicated sites along the route.

Oxford to Blenheim Palace

13km north 1–3 days

A short 13 km drive north from Oxford brings you to Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, birthplace of Winston Churchill. Explore the palace grounds, the formal gardens, and the ancient oaks of High Park. Motorhome parking is available in the main car park, and Woodstock itself has charming pubs and independent shops.

Oxford to Bath

120km southwest 3–5 days

Travel 120 km south-west from Oxford to the Georgian city of Bath. En route, pause at Avebury's Neolithic stone circle and the White Horse at Uffington. In Bath, visit the Roman Baths and Royal Crescent. Several campsites near Bath offer full hook-ups for campervans and motorhomes.

150km northwest 3–6 days

Drive 150 km north-west from Oxford to Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon. Visit the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Anne Hathaway's Cottage, then continue to Warwick Castle. The route follows well-maintained A-roads with good signage, and several campsites sit within easy reach of Stratford.

Oxford to the Jurassic Coast

210km south 5–8 days

Head 210 km south from Oxford to Dorset's Jurassic Coast. Stop at Salisbury to see the cathedral, then continue to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. The coastal roads are scenic but narrow in places, so allow extra time. Campervan-friendly sites dot the coastline from Weymouth to West Bay.

Oxford to Snowdonia

280km northwest 5–8 days

A 280 km drive north-west from Oxford takes you into the heart of Snowdonia National Park. Break the journey at Ludlow for its castle and food scene, then explore Betws-y-Coed and the Ogwen Valley. Mountain roads require careful driving in a motorhome, but designated laybys and campsites make overnight stops straightforward.

Where to park your motorhome

Oxford operates a park-and-ride system that works well for larger vehicles, letting you leave your campervan or motorhome on the outskirts and catch a bus into the city centre. Overnight parking in the city itself is restricted for campervans, so using designated facilities is the best approach. Always check height barriers before entering any car park in central Oxford.

  • Redbridge Park and Ride, 4km south — Large car park south of the city with regular bus services into the centre. Suitable for motorhomes and campervans with no height barrier on the main section.
  • Pear Tree Park and Ride, 5km north — Located off the A34 to the north, with frequent buses to the city centre. Open layout accommodates larger vehicles.
  • Seacourt Park and Ride, 3km west — West of the city near Botley Road. Check height restrictions before entry, as some sections have barriers.
  • Oxpens Car Park, 1km southwest — Central car park close to the river. Limited spaces for larger vehicles, but useful for shorter daytime visits.

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.
