Discover unique vehicles offered by private owners — from compact campervans for 2, perfect for couples, to spacious 6-berth motorhomes, ideal for families. Flexible booking, competitive prices and insurance included.
From sleek A-class models to versatile coachbuilts and low-profiles, there’s a motorhome for every adventure—whether you need a compact getaway for two or a spacious multi-berth for the whole family.
The campervan is the ultimate all-rounder. Effortlessly practical and built for freedom, it’s just as at home navigating tight city streets as it is exploring the heart of the countryside.
Heathrow sits just 24 km west of central London, making it one of the most connected starting points for a road trip anywhere in the United Kingdom. The area around Heathrow is far more than an airport hub — the nearby town of Hounslow offers the impressive Hounslow Heath Nature Reserve, a 200-acre expanse of lowland heath that has been common land since the Middle Ages. A short drive south brings you to Hampton Court Palace, Henry VIII's iconic Tudor residence set along the River Thames. Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, lies just 15 km to the west, while the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew are only 11 km east. The flat, well-connected road network around Heathrow makes it ideal for picking up a campervan or motorhome and heading out in any direction — the M4 runs west towards Bath and Bristol, the M3 leads south to the New Forest, and the M25 orbital connects you to the rest of England. With Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners based near Heathrow, which means you can collect your vehicle close to the airport and set off without delay. Whether you are arriving from overseas or simply live nearby, the peer-to-peer model gives you access to a wide choice of well-maintained vehicles at competitive prices, with the personal touch that comes from dealing with real people rather than a faceless depot.
Heathrow is a brilliant base for year-round travel. Late spring through to September offers the longest daylight hours, perfect for maximising your time on the road. The Royal Windsor Horse Show takes place each May, drawing visitors from across the country. In December, the Windsor Royal Christmas market adds a festive reason to explore. Booking your campervan through Yescapa during the quieter months of October to March often means more flexible availability and better hire rates from local owners. Summer weekends are the busiest period, so reserving your motorhome a few weeks ahead is a smart move.
Heathrow is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Just 15 km west, Windsor is an easy first stop from Heathrow. Explore Windsor Castle and stroll along the Long Walk in Windsor Great Park. Cross the river to Eton for its historic high street. Campervan parking is available at the town's dedicated coach and large vehicle park.
Head 55 km north-west from Heathrow into the Chiltern Hills AONB. Visit the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden and walk the Ridgeway National Trail near Wendover. Rolling chalk hills and quiet lanes make this a relaxing campervan route with several small campsites along the way.
Drive 120 km south-west from Heathrow to reach the New Forest National Park. Wild ponies roam freely around Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst, and the flat forest roads suit motorhomes well. Stop at Buckler's Hard, a historic shipbuilding village on the Beaulieu River, and enjoy well-equipped campsites throughout the park.
The Cotswolds lie roughly 170 km north-west of Heathrow. Wander the honey-coloured streets of Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold, then visit Blenheim Palace near Woodstock. Narrow lanes in some villages require care with larger motorhomes, but dedicated campsites with full hook-ups are plentiful across the region.
A 230 km drive south-west from Heathrow brings you to Dorset's Jurassic Coast. Walk to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, then continue to the harbour town of Lyme Regis. This campervan trip follows the A303 and A35, with well-signed coastal campsites offering sea views and full facilities.
Travel 310 km north-west from Heathrow to reach Snowdonia National Park in Wales. Climb Snowdon via the Pyg Track or ride the Snowdon Mountain Railway from Llanberis. Betws-y-Coed makes a great base with several motorhome-friendly sites nearby. The M4 and A470 provide a straightforward route from the south-east.

The area around Heathrow has a good selection of campsites suited to both campervans and motorhomes. You will find sites ranging from simple overnight stops near the airport to well-equipped parks in the surrounding countryside of Surrey, Berkshire, and Buckinghamshire. Most offer electric hook-ups, modern toilet and shower blocks, and hardstanding pitches that work well for larger vehicles year-round.
Parking a campervan or motorhome near Heathrow requires a bit of planning, as many local car parks have height barriers. Several dedicated facilities cater to larger vehicles, and overnight stays are permitted at select locations. Always check height and length restrictions before arriving, and look for sites that specifically welcome campervans and motorhomes.
I had the most wonderful trip in Eve’s van. It has everything you need, a great sized fridge, a large comfy bed, cooking equipment, electrics to be off grid, a great shower & toilet. The van ran very smoothly and was a perfect size even driving through the towns was no problem at all. They were very accommodating, helping me with local tip and recommendations. I’d 100% recommend this van to anyone thinking of taking a road trip, you won’t regret it :)
Inigio and his lovely girlfriend looked after Dolly for one week here in the Algarve area. They brought her back clean and in really good shape. Before and during the rental period we had a very good dialogue. I can highly reccomend them to lend your car. :-)
Our trip was fantastic, couldn't recommend travelling Sicily via Camper further. Angela and Luca made that super easy with clear comms and help pre booking, during holiday and after. pick up and drop off was a breeze. Clear instructions on how to use the van. All in all great trip.
Fabio made the whole process super easy and was very flexible with our plans. The van was perfect. Practically brand new and had all we needed.
Fantastic experience. Raul really went above and beyond to help us out and was always responsive with any queries we had. The van was in excellent condition, had everything we needed, and was ideal for our trip into the Pyrenees, plus heading south for the solar eclipse. Would highly recommend.
Very helpful owner and great vehicle! Had a great time in the Mundaka.
