The nomadic campervan lifestyle is the new lifestyle craze we are all dreaming about. The urge to pack up your life and drive to the unknown and awake with a new view each day is sometimes overwhelming. If you haven’t taken the plunge to take a campervan trip yet, it is a must do on your bucket list. If you aren’t convinced yet, here are the top 5 reasons you should book a campervan as your next holiday away!
1. Multiple Destinations:
A campervan road trip allows you to squeeze in as many stops and destinations as you would like. You have the chance to stop and explore whenever you want or to take the ‘scenic route’ to wherever may be your final destination. You are able to take detours along your route and experience hidden gems you have come across on your journey without the pressure of having to make it to your hotel that night.
2. Campsites are Cheaper than Hotels:
Generally, campsites are significantly cheaper than hotels. Usually, campsites only have booking fees or costs to park your campervan. You can also save costs, if you are one to usually book flights, driving can often be cheaper than flying even if petrol is included. You may definitely save costs in the long run if you are driving to multiple destinations over a number of days as usually you may be booking more flights or modes of transport to reach these destinations. However, be mindful sometimes hiring a van can be a little pricey, but if you do your research and look into trips in the off seasons you may be saving your cash.
3. Freedom and Convenience:
Booking a campervan holiday allows you to have the freedom to be spontaneous. No need to worry about booking last minute accommodation or transport as you are literally driving in your accommodation! You are easily able to change your travel itinerary along the way and add new special spots to experience and explore as you go! A campervan trip also allows you to experience the amazing freedom of adapting to new locations, being outside and experiencing the unknown!
4. A Moving Home:
Although you may be a little daunted by the uncertainty of being on the move every day, there is a sense of comfort in travelling with everything you need right in your vehicle. You can easily make this van your little home while you are on your journey by personalising it with some things you like or bringing some activities like yoga, a book or board games along with you to enjoy in your downtime.
5. The Views:
There is nothing better than waking up with a new view each morning. Picture yourself over lakes, mountains and beach side as you enjoy your morning coffee from the comfort of your bed. Nothing beats a home that is three steps from today’s adventure!
