Your Camperbug Holiday Reviews

I hired Geoffrey as a surprise birthday weekend for my cousin, we had a fantastic weekend staying just outside Harrogate. Staying in a campervan was a new experience for all 4 of us girls, Geoffrey provided plenty of entertainment and suited us just fine, it was cosy but perfect. Thank you x

Had a great time in tinkerbell driving around Dorset and staying at different campsites each night. Driving up and down the hills was certainly an experience but it added to the fun we had.

We hired Ruby for the weekend to tour the Lake District and had an absolutely brilliant experience.
Thank you to Ceri and her team for their flexibility in the hire and making it so easy to book.

I hired Yogita for the weekend of my brothers wedding. I ferried the bridesmaids and my brother to the church. They all loved the novelty and coolness of the van. I drove it around for the rest of the weekend too. Its great to see the smiling faces and waves from total strangers as you pass by. As with most vehicles of this vintage it reminds you how easy to drive modern cars are but it was great fun anyway.
The van owner, Dave, was grreat to deal with. Very friendly and helpful. I would definitley recommend hiring the van and it was a pleasure to dela with Dave and his wife. thanks very much. No photos available at the minute but will try to add some later.

We had a great weekend in the VW Westfalia and recommend this van to anyone thinking of trying out a campervan for a short break. We spent the weekend in Pocklington and it kept us warm and dry on the Saturday despite the bad weather and was very enjoyable on the Sunday when the sun came out. It was spacious enough for the 3 of us without being too cramped and drove very well with the added advantage of being able to make a brew if you stopped anywhere.

The van was well equipped but could have done with a travel adapter since the sockets were European so we had to go and buy one to charge our phones.

Mathew was great in organising collection and return with both going smoothly to start and finish the weekend well.

Thanks Camperbug and thanks Mathew.

Drying all my Tri kit out on the Sunday after getting soaked in the race on the Saturday.

Arrived on site and getting set up. We had a lot of gear due to our 6 week old baby and a Triathlon

Disappointed.
We hired Ladybird for a week in August 2014. The spec clearly stated that she had a fridge and a 2 ring burner. It also said an awning was available. Sadly, she has only a single burner, has no fridge and the awning was a pop up tent with no way of securing it to the van! (we would have been better taking our own higher quality tent). The van leaked on 3 separate occasions, causing us to have soaking wet clothing and spoiled food. All issues were raised with the owner. A satisfactory conclusion has not been reached.

It was amazing although much heavier to drive than we realised. Every time we stopped, people would come to us to look at the van. Our neighbours all wanted a trip and their children wouldnt get out of the van.

Henry the Dub and I went to Wales for a weekend. We toured the waterfall areas in the Brecon Beacons staying for a night in Abergavenny and a second night just outside Brecon.

It was a perfect break, Henry was fun to be with (although it took me a while to get used to his clutch), he was fitted out with basic but efficient cooking equipment, fridge and washing up facilities and a very comfortable bed. Henry prefers to stick to a steady 55mph on motorways etc which actually suited me fine as it meant the usual race to get to get anywhere on a Friday afternoon was replaced with a leisurely drive through some rather lovely countryside - preferable to the inside lane of the M4 being overtaken by lorries.

I’d recommend Henry to individuals or couples wishing to go on an adventure for the weekend, but I’d also suggest that you don’t go too far from his base in Twyford (perhaps a maximum 3 hour drive) - no power assisted steering or modern braking means a lot of concentration goes into driving this beautiful van.

We recently spent a thoroughly pleasant two weeks touring round France and northern Spain in George. Two previous campervan novices have been converted!

George is comfortable, well equipped and dependable and the cruise control is a real bonus for long stretches and fuel efficiency.

Steve, Georges owner, was very helpful and took the time to explain everything which made a real difference. This gave us the confidence before departing that we knew how stuff worked (which is not always completely intuitive).

Overall, a great experience. Highly recommended.

Linda and Dave hired Hera for a weekend at Hever Castle, Kent to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary and cheer on members of our family who took part in the Castle Triathlon. Hera was wonderful to stay in, well equipped and very comfortable. We had great fun. We have both caught "the Camperbug".

Lowenna was a great van to hire. She has been tastefully restored and features all that is necessary for a happy and authentic VW camping experience. Rosie and Ben (owners) were friendly, helpful and accessible (on end of phone when I couldnt find reverse!). Would definitely recommend and would rent again.

We rented Rye for our wedding day and it was probably one of the best decisions I talked my husband into! Rye made a perfect backdrop for our official wedding photos and really added to the festival-outdoorsy-garden wedding we were after. We used the van as a backdrop for our ceremony and then drove out for some photos in the fields. Ian was great and pretty much up for anything to help the photographer get the shots she needed. Max and Ian were also very helpful when we were sorting out the details. All in all, a beautiful camper which was the perfect finishing touch.Thanks very much!! Stella & Rich x

Many thanks to Amanda and to Fred - our campervan for the weekend. We travelled to Busfest and a jolly good time was had by all including Fred! He was among alot of "friends" some old some not so old and surrounded by like minded people. Loved the van, very comfy and easy to drive and easy to put up the pop top. Just one teeny point to make-could more cutlery be inlcuded? Would definitely recommend this site and Amanda and Fred to others-many thanks!

We had a lovely weekend in Bluebelle. Joop & Karen were lovely & really helpful. We stayed at Kelling Heath; our first visit there. It was great, but I think well go somewhere smaller next time.

Had a fantastic trip for two in this simply beautiful VW Camper, Mr Blue Sky. Peter was flexible about when we could pick up and return the van. It was in great condition and kitted out brilliantly inside with VW themed cooking utensils etc. Sarah gave us a thorough and quick overview of how everything worked before we went on our way. A Perfect hire experience.

Im not one for writing reviews but we have just got back from having hired Tanya & Viorels camper for the week and had a fantastic time.

We wanted a relaxed week on the South Coast away from the crowds and after the busy summer period. It was our first time using Camperbug and also a campervan, so were not sure what to expect.

Viorel met us at his home to go through the hand over of the van and was thorough and made sure all of our questions were answered before handover. The van was fully cleaned and also stocked with all the little bits and pieces needed, which was a great help. Once we had finished with the paper work, we were on our way in no more than 30-40mins. The van performed as well as it looked and toured perfectly without fault for the whole week; we were almost sad to drop it back!

In summary, if you are looking for a lovely, clean and well maintained camper for your break you wont go wrong here. Respect that this van is a valued possession of a lovely family and treat it as such and you will have a great experience.

Not done this before so was a bit of a leap into the unknown. We really enjoyed our four day break with Blue Belle, she took us to Cromer for two nights and Wisbech for one night. Blue Belle was great fun, turned many heads and was surprisingly easy to manage. Guess we were lucky to have very good weather for our four day trip and being able to make full English cooked breakfast was a real treat.
Thank you for the experience which we would love to repeat at some time in the future.

Richard and his brother were absolutely great over the booking and all aspects of the use of the camper for my daughters wedding. Gino looked splendid decorated for the special day and the chauffer looked pretty good too!
We had lots of positive comments about the quirky wedding car!

Lorek was awesome, I cant wait to camp again in the van and use the huge awning for longer.

I would never camp in a tent again now!

Great Van
