DD TRAVEL: BY TRAVEL EDITOR TIM HEDGLEY: Lots of us dream about owning a campervan. Don’t you love to imagine exactly how you’d make a fun little house on wheels, and head out on the open road?
But anyone who actually has a campervan will tell you they’re expensive to own and maintain.
So why not cut out the hassle and expense by simply hiring your dream camper for a summer adventure in southern England.
The beautiful campervans from Quirky Campers have been lovingly converted by hand to offer a perfect mix of eccentric décor, quality craftsmanship, convenience and comfort. Each has its own unique look and personality, and they’re the perfect way to unleash your inner hippy.
Great for families of all ages
Kids love campervans! And Quirky Campers are like nothing they’ve ever seen before: full of funny, interesting little things to explore. They can peek out through a porthole window, or sleep in a cot that looks like it was made for a gnome! Teenagers will love the ready supply of electricity to charge their phones and laptops (come to think of it, you might like that too).
Meanwhile, mums and dads will enjoy a hassle-free holiday. You can pick up your van within easy distance of London, Bristol or Newquay airports, and bedding, kitchenware, satnav, soap, even food, games and books can be supplied so you won’t need to bring anything bigger than a cabin bag. You never need to struggle with tent poles: just pick your pitch, put on your handbrake and crack open your pre-dinner drink.
That’s what holidays should be like, right? Proper kitchens mean it’s easy to keep everyone fed; some Quirky Campers even have full size ovens so you can do pizza every night if you want. And if you don’t fancy going out in the rain to escort sleepy kids to the toilet block, book a Quirky Camper with its own bathroom inside.
Romantic for couples
Imagine snuggling up under a fluffy duvet with your best beloved, warmed by a real log burner and sipping hot chocolate while you look at the stars. Imagine waking up to a beautiful view and enjoying a leisurely breakfast in bed.
Then spend the day exploring beautiful countryside before having a romantic dinner with wine chilled from the solar fridge. Bliss.
Fab for festivals
Quirky Campers love going to festivals, so if you want to make a pilgrimage to Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage you can do it without having to drag your belongings across fields for hours on end.
And did you know that campervans are much quieter than tents? So when you want to get your head down between parties, you’ll sleep like a baby.
Great value
English campsites are very affordable and if you do a bit of research online, you’ll even find a host of places where you can camp for free. And with the car hire and self-catering apartment all in one, Quirky Campers give you a totally unique experience at a very competitive price.

Prices from £48 per van per night, depending on season and day.
