The Best Places to Visit in a Motorhome or Campervan
The Best Places to Visit in a Motorhome or Campervan View Our Motorhomes A small guide to the ultimate road trips from Northamptonshire Waking up, open the motorhome door and step straight into fresh air and ridiculous views never really gets old. That’s the magic of travelling by motorhome or campervan hire. This guide pulls together some of the best-rated motorhome and campervan routes across the UK and Europe, based on what seasoned motorhome goers all rave about. Whether you’ve hired your first motorhome or you’re planning your tenth long tour, here are the standout places to head to. Why motorhome & campervan travel works so well Before we dive into routes, a quick reminder of why this style of travel just…works: Total flexibility – stay an extra night when you fall in love with a spot, or move on if the weather turns. Comfort on tap – your own bed, loo, shower and kettle wherever you park. Cost control – campsites instead of hotels, self-catering instead of eating out every meal. BBQ’s and more. Keep the family together, including the pets. Scenery on demand – lake views one night, wild coastline the next or maybe even close to a city. Most of the routes below can be done in anything from a compact campervan to a family motorhome – just keep an eye on local road and size restrictions as you plan. The UK: world-class road trips on your doorstep The UK is stacked with routes that motorhome bloggers repeatedly rank among the best anywhere in Europe. 1. North Coast 500, Scottish Highlands Often called Scotland’s answer to Route 66, the North Coast 500 (NC500) is a 500-mile loop around the top of the Highlands starting and finishing in Inverness. Why it’s special Wild beaches like Durness and Sango Sands Detours to John o’ Groats, Cape Wrath and Smoo Cave Rugged mountain passes and glassy lochs around every corner Many UK motorhome guides put the NC500 at the very top of their “must-drive” list thanks to its mix of remote coastline, castles and wildlife. Motorhome tips Roads can be narrow and single-track – allow time and use passing places properly. Book campsites well ahead in peak season to ease pressure on wild spots. Travel shoulder season (May/early June or September) for fewer midges and quieter roads. The Lake District & Peak District loops, England The Lake District and Peak District feature heavily in club and dealer blogs listing the UK’s best touring routes. Lake District highlights Driving a loop from Keswick via Buttermere, Ullswater and Windermere Lakeside walks straight from your pitch Cute villages like Grasmere for tearooms and pubs Peak District highlights Gritstone edges, dales and reservoirs all within short drives Classic routes around Hope Valley, Snake Pass and the Chatsworth area Plenty of well-equipped campsites that are used to motorhomes These areas are compact, so you can base yourself in one campsite for a few nights and explore in smaller hops – ideal for first-timers. Cornwall & the Atlantic Highway (A39), South West England Motorhome travel blogs regularly praise Cornwall’s combination of surf beaches, harbour towns and clifftop campsites, while coastal-route articles single out the Atlantic Highway between Devon and Cornwall as one of the UK’s best seaside drives. Route idea Start near Barnstaple Follow the A39 towards Bude, Padstow and Newquay Continue down to St Ives, Land’s End and the Lizard Why go by motorhome Sea-view campsites where you can have breakfast overlooking the waves Easy access to beaches for surfing, bodyboarding or rockpooling Shoulder-season trips (spring and autumn) feel far more relaxed than school-holiday gridlock Wales: Snowdonia, Anglesey & the Pembrokeshire Coast From caravan-club guides to campervan specialist blogs, Wales always shows up as a top pick for dramatic landscapes in a relatively small area. Snowdonia & Anglesey Mountain roads, slate quarries and castles inland Coastal drives out to Anglesey with its beaches, lighthouses and Beaumaris Castle Plenty of adventure options: hiking, ziplines, kayaking Pembrokeshire Coast 200 A suggested 200-mile coastal loop taking in Tenby, St Davids and countless coves Coastal campsites with clifftop views Brilliant for dolphin-spotting boat trips and coastal walking Add in friendly towns and a strong campsite network and Wales is a seriously underrated motorhome destination. Causeway Coastal Route, Northern Ireland If you like your road trips with a side of legend and lava rock, the Causeway Coastal Route from Belfast to Derry/Londonderry is hard to beat. It’s a favourite in several “top UK road trip routes” lists aimed at motorhome and campervan travellers. Don’t miss Giant’s Causeway and its basalt columns Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge Clifftop ruins like Dunluce Castle It’s a relatively short route, so you can take it slowly, using well-placed touring parks as bases and nipping inland for distillery visits or Game of Thrones filming locations. Europe: stretching your legs across the continent When you’re ready to take your motorhome beyond the UK, Europe is basically one giant playground of scenic roads. Comprehensive European motorhome guides consistently recommend the routes below for first-timers and seasoned travellers alike. ⚠️ Practical note: new EU border systems mean extra checks and, from 2026, a low-cost ETIAS travel authorisation for UK citizens, so always double-check entry requirements before you travel. The Amalfi Coast, Italy Blogs on European campervan road trips almost always include the Costiera Amalfitana – the Amalfi Coast – thanks to its absurd coastal scenery and pastel-coloured cliff towns. Why it’s unforgettable Terraced lemon groves and plunging sea views Iconic towns like Positano, Amalfi and Ravello Easy links to Naples, Pompeii and Vesuvius Motorhome reality check The official coast road is narrow and busy, and several sources caution that it’s not ideal for larger vehicles. A popular motorhome strategy is to base yourself at campsites slightly inland or along the Bay of Naples, then visit the coast by bus, scooter or organised tour. The Romantic Road, Germany Classic Europe road-trip round-ups and dedicated campervan pieces regularly recommend Germany’s Romantic Road, running roughly 350 km from Würzburg to Füssen. Expect
Compact Motorhome Hire – The Roller Team Kronos 665
Compact Motorhome Hire Kronos 665 View Our Motorhomes Roller Team Kronos Compact 665 The Roller Team Kronos Compact 665 – Slimline Style, Big-Motorhome Comfort(Available to hire from April 2026 at Luna Motorhome Hire) If you like the idea of a proper motorhome but hate the thought of wrestling something huge down country lanes, the new Roller Team Kronos Compact 665 should be on your radar. This 2026 model is a slimline coachbuilt motorhome on a Ford Transit chassis, designed to give you the comfort of a full motorhome with the footprint and manoeuvrability much closer to a campervan. From April 2026, you’ll be able to hire the Kronos Compact 665 from Luna Motorhome Hire, making it a great option for UK road trips, festivals and European adventures. Key Facts (at a glance) Based on the 2026 Spec with an automatic gearbox, here is what you are getting. Berths: 4 (two double beds – one fixed rear, one drop-down) Seatbelts: 4 Length: approx. 6.41 m Width: approx. 2.15–2.35 m (slimmer than a standard coachbuilt) Height: approx. 2.85–2.95 m Chassis: Ford Transit Engine: 2.0L diesel, typically 130–165 BHP depending on pack Transmission: Automatic MTPLM: 3,500 kg – driveable on a standard UK car licence Layout: Fixed rear double bed over a large garage + front drop-down bed Washroom: “Duplex” bathroom with pivoting/swing wall to create a full shower Power & utilities: Solar panel, lithium leisure battery (in many 2026 specs), Truma heating with iNet X control, good fresh-water capacity Driving and size – campervan feel, motorhome comfort On the road, the Kronos Compact 665 feels deliberately “dials-down-the-stress”. It is Under 6.5 metres long and notably narrower than a full-fat coachbuilt Built on a shorter wheelbase Ford Transit chassis for easier cornering and parking Kept at 3,500 kg, so anyone with a standard Category B licence can drive it That combination makes it ideal if: You’re new to motorhomes and don’t want to jump straight into a big A-class You do a lot of exploring on B-roads, coastal routes and through small villages You want to be able to nip into town, supermarket car parks and attractions without feeling like you’re in a bus The Ford cab brings the usual car-like driving position, properly supportive captain’s seats that swivel into the lounge, and modern cab tech such as Android Auto / Apple CarPlay on many UK dealer specs – all of which we’ll be speccing correctly for the Luna hire fleet. Daytime layout – a proper lounge in a compact shell Step inside and the Kronos Compact 665 doesn’t feel like a compromise. Roller Team have used the extra width over a van and the slimline body cleverly: Front lounge / dinette with two forward-facing travel seats plus a side seat Swivel cab seats to create a sociable space for up to five people Overhead drop-down double bed neatly tucked into the ceiling when not in use Large side windows and skylight for plenty of natural light It’s the classic modern European layout but shrunk to a size that still fits supermarket spaces. For families, the lounge works well on rainy days; for couples, it’s a comfortable place to stretch out with a glass of wine after a long drive. Sleeping arrangements – two proper double beds The Kronos Compact 665 is a true 4-berth with two very usable double beds. Rear fixed double bed Positioned over a large rear garage, ideal for bikes or bulky kit Electrically height-adjustable on many 2026 specs, so you can trade a bit of garage height for easier bed access if you prefer Feels snug and private, slightly separate from the main lounge Front drop-down double bed Lowers down over the dinette at night Big enough for two adults – not a “token” kids-only bed Lifts away in the morning, so the lounge is fully usable in daytime For families, parents often take the rear fixed bed and give the kids the “ceiling bed”. For two couples travelling together, both beds are decent enough for adults, as long as everyone is happy to share the lounge space in the evenings. Kitchen – small footprint, proper facilities The mid-kitchen is compact but sensible – more than enough for normal touring: 2-burner gas hob Oven / grill Sink with hot and cold water Good-size fridge with small freezer compartment Decent worktop for a van of this size, with smart use of covers and flip-ups You’re not getting a massive domestic-style kitchen, but you are getting everything you need for proper cooking: breakfasts, pasta nights, BBQ prep, you name it. For many hire customers, that balance – real cooking facilities without losing space elsewhere – is spot on. Bathroom – clever “duplex” washroom One of the clever touches on the Kronos Compact 665 is the wet room with a pivoting / swinging shower wall. In everyday terms, that means: In “toilet mode” you’ve got a compact washroom with loo and basin Swing the wall across and it transforms into a dedicated shower cubicle, keeping the toilet area drier This design gives you a proper shower in a genuinely compact motorhome, without feeling like you’re washing in the same space as the loo. For longer trips or touring off-grid, that makes a big difference. Storage, utilities and off-grid potential For a slimline motorhome, storage and power are surprisingly strong: Large rear garage Big enough for bikes, outdoor furniture, kids’ gear or bulky luggage Some dealers offer external shower and BBQ points in the garage as options Interior storage Overhead lockers throughout Wardrobe space near the rear bed Additional cubbies and under-seat storage in the lounge Water & gas Around 100L fresh water tank with a generous waste tank Space for gas bottles (with some models also using an underslung LPG tank) Power Solar panel as standard on many 2026 UK specifications Lithium leisure battery (around 100Ah) on some dealer specs, giving better off-grid performance than a traditional lead-acid battery Truma heating with iNet X control, allowing you to monitor and

Washroom: clever, space-saving design The 700 uses a pivoting/rotating wall to separate shower and toilet areas.

Where Can you Park a Campervan Overnight in the UK?
Where can you park a campervan overnight in the UK View Our Motorhomes Travelling in your motorhome or campervan – Where to park up overnight Travelling across the UK in a campervan or motorhome is not just a mode of transportation; it’s a gateway to ultimate freedom and adventure. Campervans provide an unrivalled opportunity to explore the country at your own pace, offering the flexibility to adjust your plans if you feel like it and uncover hidden gems whenever inspiration strikes. A key factor to consider when planning your campervan adventure across the UK is where to park your vehicle overnight. Choosing the right spot can enhance your trip, offering safety, convenience, and often a touch of local charm. Whether it’s a quiet countryside layby, a coastal view, or a designated campervan site, the right parking choice adds another layer of enjoyment to your travel experience. Below, we talk about safety and resources to help make it easier for you. Overnight Parking Rules It is super important you check local guidelines for overnight parking as each area will be dependant on their own rules. Here are some ideas as to what campervan hire customers should be aware of when looking to park up overnight. Check Local Parking Restrictions: Before settling in for the night, ensure you are aware of any parking restrictions or rules in the area. Some locations may have specific regulations or time limits, and failing to note this and take action could result in fines. Be Considerate of Others: Wherever you park, always be mindful of the local community. Keep noise levels to a minimum, avoid disturbing your neighbours, and ensure no litter or waste is left behind. Please remember that no toilet waste should be emptied other than at an appropriate waste disposal. A respectful approach helps maintain positive relationships with locals and motorhome hire companies. Respect Private Property: If you wish to park on private land, always obtain the landowner’s permission beforehand. Be sure to adhere to any specific rules or guidelines they provide. Choose Safe and Secure Locations: Prioritise well-lit, secure areas for overnight stays and avoid isolated or potentially unsafe spots. Some car parks or designated motorhome areas can offer added security and peace of mind. Its also helpful if you see other motorhome users in the area. Follow the “Leave No Trace” Principle: When camping, especially in rural or natural settings, respect the environment by adhering to the “leave no trace” principle. Take all rubbish and waste with you and avoid causing any damage to the surroundings. The countryside is not a tip. It is there for us to all enjoy and basic principals should be adhered to. Where can you park in the UK overnight? Private Land It is possible to park on private land, however you must have the land owners permission to do so. Places like pub car parks are the most popular. Usually this will involve the landlord/landlady providing their permission in exchange for you eating and drinking in their pub before staying overnight. Public Car Parks Parking up in your motorhome hire overnight in a public car park is possible. If this is allowed, the car park will show the rules for doing so and will give a charge. Make sure you pay up front so that you are not caught out when trying to leave. These car parks are usually by beach fronts. Campsites The safest way to park up overnight in our opinion would be to stay at campsites. These are specific locations for you to not only park safely, but have other facilities such as water and electric hook up. They also have places for waste disposal. Wild Camping The term wild camping sounds like a lot of fun. Usually this involves staying on public land or in the countryside. There are very few places this is allowed and you must check that it is possible before setting up. Generally this is not allowed to please make sure you check before staying anywhere as it could result in a fine. Parking in residential areas Parking your campervan or motorhome in a residential area is not illegal, however it can be frowned upon due their their size. Some councils in places have bought in local by-laws that do not allow campervans to park there. This would usually be in a tourism attraction area so its worth checking the area locally before setting up for the night. Can you sleep in a motorhome on the road? Again, it is not illegal to park on the road and go to bed. The campervan or motorhome should not be causing an obstruction and should be in a place that is safe for other vehicles to pass. Where to find the best parking spots Searchforsites: We have recommended this before and regularly tell our customers to use it when they are embarking on their journey. This is a free resource but it is worth paying for the upgrade to get unlimited usage. Theis app and website has pub stops, campsites and free spots you can park up. Park4night: Another one we have recommended previously. This is a great free resource you can use on your mobile phone for picking out spots either whilst en-route or just as a last minute pick. Britstops: Britstops is a a resource that owners of farm shops, wineries, pubs and other excellent locations for you to stop at. It is not a free resource and you do have to pay for a yearly subscription, but if you are looking to hire a motorhome or campervan more than once a year, then this is a very good resource to have. Campercontact: This resource has over 50,000 motorhome sites and 3,500 of those are in the UK. Its a free resource but if you upgrade, you will be able to use it offline. They have an app you can download.
Can I hire a campervan for Glastonbury Festival
Can I Hire a campervan for Glastonbury Festival View Our Motorhomes Hire a campervan for Glastonbury If you’re wondering, “Can I hire a campervan for Glastonbury Festival?” – the answer is, absolutely yes! Hiring a campervan is one of the most convenient, comfortable, and enjoyable ways to experience the iconic Glastonbury Festival. At Luna Motorhome Hire, we’ve got everything you need to make your festival adventure unforgettable. Why hire a campervan for Glastonbury? Glastonbury is one of the UK’s largest festivals, drawing thousands of music lovers, but let’s face it – camping in a tent isn’t for everyone and on the odd occasion, it can be quite a muddy affair. Here’s why hiring a campervan is a fantastic alternative to living in a tent for the weekend: 1. Comfort and Convenience With a campervan, you’ll have access to a real bed, an onboard toilet, a shower, and even heating for those chilly festival nights. It’s camping but with all the comforts of a hotel room. 2. Avoid the Muddy Chaos No one loves waking up in a soggy tent. In a campervan, you’ll stay dry, warm, and protected from the unpredictable Glastonbury weather. 3. Perfect for Groups Campervans can accommodate families or groups of friends, making them a practical and fun way to enjoy the festival together. 4. Safe Unlike tents, campervans and motorhomes can be locked and your personal possessions can be kept safe. How to Hire a Campervan for Glastonbury Festival 1.

Some say that the best time to arrive would be 11am on the Thursday to ensure you get the right space that suits you.

Leaving your best friend/mate behind sometimes cannot be an option. Here are just a few reasons why pet-friendly motorhome hire is ideal: Freedom and Flexibility: Having your pet with you means you don’t need to worry about boarding costs or finding someone to pet sit. With a motorhome, you’re free to travel at your own pace and make stops in scenic locations where you can streth and your pet can stretch your legs. Comfort for Your Pet: Unlike hotel stays, where rules can vary widely, a motorhome offers a familiar and contained environment for your pet. They can settle in, bringing along their bed, toys, and favorite blanket, making the journey less stressful. Access to Beautiful Locations: Motorhomes give you access to amazing locations, from forests and beaches to national parks. Many of these places welcome pets, and with a motorhome, you’re never far from the comforts of “home” if your pet needs a rest. Key tips for travelling with your pets; Pack all essentials needed – Just like you, your pet will need everything they have at home. Toys, bedding, food and any medication. Your pet (especially dogs) will be roaming much more than they are used to, being out in the open so its essential to make sure you have plenty of water accessible at all times. With our on board water tanks, there should be plenty of fresh water available for them. Don’t forget to plan stops – Motorway service stations are great places to stop but not always suitable for your dog to stretch their legs. Consider pulling off road every few hours to give them a break and maybe come off a motorway if you are travelling on it to give them a little extra running space. Remember to strap your dog in. Make sure you have a seatbelt harness to keep them safe. Also consider putting your pet into a crate to keep them safe and secure.
