Why choose Northampton for your road trip

Northampton — a city worth exploring

Northampton's Royal & Derngate theatre complex has hosted performances since 1884, making it one of the longest-running provincial venues in England. The town sits at the heart of the Nene Valley, where the River Nene winds through green parkland and historic bridges. You can explore Abington Park Museum, housed in a 15th-century manor, or wander the grounds of Delapré Abbey, a former Cluniac nunnery with beautifully restored gardens. The National Leather Collection at Northampton Museum and Art Gallery tells the story of the town's centuries-old boot and shoe trade. For families, Wicksteed Park in nearby Kettering, just 24 km north-east, offers one of Britain's oldest theme parks. Head 19 km south and you reach Towcester, a charming market town on the edge of the Silverstone circuit. Northampton's central position in the East Midlands means the road network fans out in every direction, with wide A-roads and plenty of laybys suited to larger vehicles. Whether you fancy a weekend loop through Rutland's rolling countryside or a longer tour towards the Cotswolds, Northampton is a practical and rewarding base. With Yescapa, you hire your campervan or motorhome directly from local owners, so you can pick up nearby and set off without delay. It is a straightforward, peer-to-peer way to get on the road and discover what this part of England has to offer.

Best time to visit

Northampton comes alive in June during the Northampton Carnival, one of the largest street parades in the East Midlands, filling Abington Park with music and food stalls. The Silverstone Festival in late July draws motorsport fans to the circuit just south of town. Summer is the busiest season, so booking your campervan through Yescapa early gives you the widest choice from local owners at competitive peer-to-peer prices. Spring and autumn are ideal for quieter campsite stays and relaxed driving through the Nene Valley, while winter weekends suit cosy motorhome breaks exploring Northampton's indoor attractions and festive markets.

Campsites and parkings for recreational vehicles in Northampton

Recommended campsites

Northampton sits in a largely rural county, so you will find a good spread of campsites within easy reach. Options range from quiet farm-based pitches in the Nene Valley to larger, fully serviced parks closer to major roads. Most sites offer electric hook-ups, hardstanding pitches, and modern toilet and shower blocks suitable for both campervans and motorhomes. Several welcome dogs and have on-site shops for essentials.

Where to park your motorhome

Northampton offers several options for parking larger vehicles. The town centre has height-restricted multi-storeys, so motorhomes and campervans should use surface car parks on the outskirts. Overnight parking in public car parks is generally not permitted without checking local signage. Plan ahead and use dedicated stopovers or campsite facilities for overnight stays.

  • Beckets Park Car Park, 1km south — Surface car park beside the River Nene with generous bay sizes, within walking distance of the town centre.
  • Midsummer Meadow Car Park, 1km southeast — Large open car park near the river, suitable for higher vehicles and close to Northampton's retail areas.
  • Victoria Promenade Car Park, 1km south — Open-air car park with no height barrier, a short walk from Delapré Abbey and the town centre.

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.
