Why choose Uppsala for your road trip
Uppsala — a city worth exploring
Uppsala's cathedral, the largest in Scandinavia, took over 150 years to build and stands 118.7 metres tall, dominating the skyline of this historic university city. Situated on the Fyris River in east-central Sweden, Uppsala blends centuries of academic heritage with green parkland and a lively cultural scene. You can wander through the Linnaeus Garden, founded in 1655 and one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world, before heading to the Gustavianum museum to see its remarkable 17th-century anatomical theatre. The Uppsala Castle, perched on a ridge above the city, offers panoramic views and houses the Uppsala Art Museum. For a deeper dive into the region's Viking past, drive 5 km north to Gamla Uppsala, where three great royal burial mounds date back to the 5th and 6th centuries. Stockholm lies just 71 km to the south, making it easy to combine a city break with a longer road trip, while the charming medieval town of Sigtuna is only 37 km south-west. The flat terrain and well-maintained roads around Uppsala suit all vehicle sizes, so whether you are in a compact campervan or a larger motorhome, getting around is straightforward. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners across the region, which means you can pick up your campervan close to where your adventure begins and benefit from personal tips on the best routes and overnight spots.
Best time to visit
Uppsala is wonderful from late spring through early autumn. The Walpurgis Night celebrations on 30 April fill the city with bonfires, choral singing and student revelry — a uniquely Uppsala tradition worth planning around. Summer brings the Kulturnatten festival in September, when museums, galleries and stages open late across the city. June to August offers long daylight hours ideal for campervan touring, and campsites in the region are fully open with all facilities running. Book your Yescapa hire early for July, the most popular month. Shoulder months like May and September reward you with quieter roads and competitive peer-to-peer pricing through Yescapa.

Frequently asked questions
Prices for campervan and motorhome hire near Uppsala typically range from around £80 to £160 per night, depending on the vehicle size, season and equipment. Through Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners, which often means more competitive rates than traditional rental companies. Compact campervans sit at the lower end, while fully equipped motorhomes with shower and kitchen cost a bit more.
On Yescapa, local owners list their vehicles across the Uppsala region, so you can often arrange collection in residential areas such as Luthagen, Eriksberg or Sävja. Some owners also offer pick-up near Uppsala Central Station for easy access by train. You agree the handover point directly with the owner, which gives you flexibility to start your trip right where it suits you best.
Booking outside the peak summer months of July and August is one of the simplest ways to find lower prices. On Yescapa, peer-to-peer hire means owners set their own rates, so you can compare options and find a vehicle that fits your budget. Booking well in advance, being flexible on dates and choosing a smaller campervan also help keep costs down for your Uppsala adventure.

Sweden's generous right of public access means your dog can enjoy forests and lakeshores freely, though leads are required near livestock. Always confirm any pet policies directly with the owner when you book through Yescapa.

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Uppsala
Annemijn
5 / 5
Very nice owners, kind and flexible! The camper van was easy to understand, and comfortable to use - above expectation. Thank you!!
Elizabeth
4 / 5
Paloma was a pleasure to drive and really comfortable for our family of four. The van was equipped with everything we needed, beds were spacious and had safety nets, the shower and toilet were very handy, there was plenty of storage space and lots of room to move around. Susana was really helpful and accommodating and very easy to communicate with throughout our trip. The only disappointing aspect is that the fridge did not work, and the freezer only worked when plugged in. While the freezer was ok for keeping some items cool, it did make things considerably more difficult for us - we were travelling with 2 young children and cooked for ourselves most evenings. It was frustrating having to visit a shop every day/every other day and we ended up having to bin quite a lot of food. It is a shame this wasn't mentioned in the listing as it would have impacted our decision to book the van. Every other aspect was faultless and despite the issue with the fridge we had a really wonderful 2 week adventure in Paloma. We would definitely recommend if you are happy to operate without a fridge and can rely on the freezer.
