Why hire a campervan or motorhome in West Sussex

West Sussex — a region worth exploring

West Sussex stretches across 768 square miles of southern England, where the South Downs National Park runs like a chalk spine from the Hampshire border to the dramatic cliff edge at Beachy Head's neighbour, Chanctonbury Ring. The cathedral city of Chichester, with its 900-year-old Norman cathedral, sits just 15 miles from the bustling seaside town of Worthing, while the market town of Arundel and its imposing medieval castle lie roughly 18 miles east of Chichester along the A27. Beyond the Downs, you can explore the ancient woodland of St Leonard's Forest near Horsham, wander the ornamental gardens at Nymans (a National Trust estate near Haywards Heath), or spend a morning at the Weald and Downland Living Museum, home to over 50 rescued historic buildings. The county's mix of narrow country lanes, open downland roads and well-connected A-roads makes it ideal territory for both campervans and larger motorhomes. Coastal routes between Selsey and Shoreham-by-Sea offer easy, flat driving with regular stopping points, while inland lanes through villages like Petworth and Steyning reward slower exploration. With Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners across West Sussex, choosing from a range of vehicles that suit everything from a weekend couple's getaway to a family adventure through the South Downs.

Best time to visit

West Sussex is wonderful from late spring through to early autumn. May and June bring wildflower displays across the South Downs, and the Goodwood Festival of Speed in late June or early July draws motorsport fans from across the country. The Chichester Festival Theatre season runs from April to November, giving you a cultural reason to visit well beyond summer. Campsites across West Sussex tend to be quieter in September and October, when the beech woods turn golden and you can enjoy the coast without the school-holiday crowds. Booking your campervan through Yescapa outside peak months often means better availability and more competitive hire prices from local owners.

There are no toll roads in West Sussex. Speed limits for motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes match standard car limits, but vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are restricted to 50 mph on single carriageways and 60 mph on dual carriageways.

We absolutely loved our time in the caddy! Everything was great, from the collection, the functionality and the communication. The van is small but mighty, the owners have thought of every little detail (sink, shower, storage, kitchen, and a good sized comfy bed). We highly recommend using Yescapa and hiring this van- perfect for your dolomites adventure!

We hired the van for 8 nights and it was perfect. Went up to the mountains and down to the beach. It was very spacious and well kitted out. The owners are also lovely, accommodating and quick to reply to our message

5 / 5

Both Jesus and Susana were very communicative and made the rental process very easy. The van is basically new in very good condition and easy to handle. It was fun cooking in remote places having a beautiful view and having a large fridge really helped to keep all cool and fresh. We had a nice time with it and would certainly recommend it to others.
