Victoria's Inner Harbour has welcomed travellers since the 1840s, when the Hudson's Bay Company established Fort Victoria on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Today, the city blends that colonial heritage with a relaxed West Coast character you can feel the moment you step off the ferry. Stroll through the Royal BC Museum to explore the region's natural and Indigenous history, then cross the street to admire the neo-Baroque British Columbia Parliament Buildings, illuminated by over 3,000 lights each evening. Beacon Hill Park stretches 75 hectares from downtown to the Dallas Road waterfront, where you can spot seals and the distant Olympic Mountains. For something more hands-on, Fisherman's Wharf offers floating homes, fish-and-chip stands, and harbour-seal feeding right from the dock. Butchart Gardens, roughly 23 km north, transforms a former limestone quarry into one of the world's most celebrated floral displays. If you fancy a day trip, the town of Sidney is just 26 km northeast and serves as a gateway to the Gulf Islands. Victoria's compact layout and well-maintained roads make it easy to navigate in a motorhome, while the mild coastal climate keeps driving conditions comfortable year-round. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from a local owner, giving you insider tips on the best overnight spots and scenic routes across Vancouver Island. It is a practical, personal way to discover everything Victoria and its surroundings have to offer by campervan.
Victoria enjoys Canada's mildest climate, making it a rewarding destination in every season. Summer, from June to September, is ideal for outdoor exploring, and the Victoria Symphony Splash in August fills the Inner Harbour with live orchestral music from a floating barge. The Victoria Film Festival in February gives you a great reason to visit during the quieter winter months. Book your campervan through Yescapa early for July and August, when demand from local owners peaks. Outside those months, you often find better availability and more competitive hire rates thanks to peer-to-peer pricing, so a spring or autumn trip can be especially good value.

Victoria and southern Vancouver Island offer a fine mix of waterfront, woodland, and urban campsites suited to both campervans and motorhomes. Many sites provide full electrical hook-ups, fresh-water taps, dump stations, and modern shower blocks. Whether you prefer waking up beside the ocean or tucked among towering cedars, you will find well-maintained pitches within easy reach of Victoria's attractions.
Victoria is generally welcoming to larger vehicles, though some downtown streets have height or length restrictions. Overnight parking in a campervan or motorhome on public streets is not permitted within the city centre, so plan to use designated facilities. Always check posted signage for time limits and vehicle-size rules before you park.
great van a few interior problems but apart from that all good
check in took 1.40 hr! legible dirty outside with tape repairs to window and mirror paid for gas but when we got there found canister was empty and we had to replace ourselves
Everything was amazing
Great experience renting the Jimny. The owners were brilliant to deal with from start to finish, and the Jeep was in excellent condition. It was perfect for exploring the Algarve. Would definitely recommend and would happily rent from them again!
Clean, well-maintained vehicle that gave us so many great memories! We traveled to many places and drove around 900 km ourselves, and it handled everything flawlessly. Thanks to its size, parking was super easy, we could fit anywhere, and we were able to sleep in spots where a different kind of campervan wouldn't have worked. It is fully equipped with everything provided, even extra games for beach days! The bed and bedding were clean, and it has a really comfortable mattress. The owners were super nice and sweet. Everything went smoothly during both pickup and drop-off, and they were always there to help whenever we needed it, even when we got a bit lost! 😅 Plus point that they were super cool and easy to talk to. P.S. The AC works like a charm!
Sergey's van is great. Really spacious, easy to drive. We had a great trip. Sergey was really nice helpful and was on hand to help with any questions during the trip. He even gave us a lift to the train station in Ljubljana! Would 100% recommend.
