Your Camperbug Holiday Reviews

We rented Kez for the weekend at the beginning of September and took it up to Norfolk. Its great to drive - especially compared to a T4 - and it had everything we needed and much more. Its also in a great location to get out of London quickly.

Charlie was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating. He gave us a thorough guide to Kez and all of the gear on board and didnt laugh too hard at my parallel parking on our return. Highly recommended!

Wow! What a great weekend! From the moment we collected the camper I knew it was going to be a fantastic experience. This was our first time hiring a camper and we cant wait to do it again!
The van owners were amazing and really friendly, the van was in superb condition, obviously extremely well maintained.
If youre looking for a van that drives nicely and is comfortable to stay in...look no further!
-- you made our weekend!

The van set up and ready for use!

We had a lovely few days with Baby Blue. From initial enquiry through to dropping the van back, everything was simple.

Baby Blue was comfortable to drive and travel in as well as to sleep. It was well equipped, nicely decorated and well maintained. We had several comments from serious campers how nice the van was.

We had a lovely week away in Cliff the Campervan just before the August bank holiday. There were 2 adults, 2 children (7 and 5 y o) and a dog, and we travelled to The Forest of Dean, then to St Davids (Pembrokeshire) for a few days of camping, beach and surfing, and then north to Abersoch where we spend a couple of nights on a friends driveway! We were given a clear and complete tutorial in how everything worked (and a mobile number to call should we have any questions or forget how to do anything). The campervan was spotlessly clean and everything worked as it should do. There was actually much more space to store everything than I was expecting, as it has been adapted so well. It was well equipped with all the mod-cons ,we made full use of the awning and the pop-up roof, of the camper chairs and table, and the kitchen fridge, cooker and washbasin. There was plenty of electricity charge and water. The owners had thought of everything extra such as tea-towels and washing up liquid etc. We did take a small tent to pitch at the campsite so that we could throw some of the stuff in it while we went off in the van for day trips - I would recommend that! Well definitely be doing this again!

St David's, Pembrokeshire

A beautiful van and great holiday. This was our first in a camper and all went smoothly from collection to drop off. The owners were particularly helpful, with a useful trial drive round under we were use to it. We also had our 8 month old baby with us, and the car seat and sleeping worked fine, surprisingly comfy. We were lucky with good weather so he ate in high chair outside. We would definitely recommend and look forward to another adventure soon!

lorek was all we could ask for in a campervan - excellent to drive, reliable, comfortable,(with touches of luxury), and thanks to the blackout curtains, provided some of the best nights sleep we’d had in ages. Chris, the owner was delightful to deal with, helpful, thoughtful and made the whole process run smoothly - there was initially a lot to take in so his comprehensive list of instructions was very reassuring....

After a gap of 30 years, lorek enabled us to rediscover the joys of itinerant travel -
we had five great nights away, drove to Cornwall, where we enjoyed brilliant sunny days - loved opening the door each day to early morning light, warmth and fresh air, but felt cosy too with the sound of rain on the roof on our one wet night. We watched the sun go down, the moon come up, looked at the stars, camped in a meadow, and entertained friends in the coolest van on a campsite.

It was altogether a fabulous experience - lorek is a meticulous conversion, carried out with an eye for comfort and detail - we are planning more excursions , with a campervan of our own as a future possibility.

We had a wonderful time cruising around with our new friend Rio ! 2 weeks of freedom in the wild and beautiful outer Hebrides (Barra,South&North Uist, South&North Harris and Lewis) and inner Hebrides (Isle of Sky, isle of Mull and Iona). Kids and parents loved all the adventures. The camper van Rio was really sturdy and withstood some strong winds. A special Thanks to the owners who we found to be really helpful and friendly !
We would gladly do it all over again!!

We hired Florence a 1989 VWT25 from Martin and Sharon via the Camperbug website last weekend 692014.
The booking service was quick and efficient and the service from Martin and Sharon was first class.
They even provided us with a champagne hamper as it was our 25th wedding anniversary.
The van had everything we needed for our camping trip to the Golden Cap in Dorset and it was a pleasure just driving it and taking our time to get around very relaxing and will definitely be doing it again.
Thanks again to Martin and Sharon for a first class friendly service

We hired Iorek for the End of the Road festival in Dorset and had a fantastic time!
The van was really well equipped and comfortable, so much more luxury than we are used to at a festival. Had a lovely drive down there and Chris the owner gave us a very helpful briefing of all the gear before we set off, so thanks again, Chris, for letting us rent Iorek and hope to rent again soon.

My husband and I initially booked Henry for a birthday camping weekend. Unfortunately Henry had to go into the garage at the last minute and so we had to cancel our trip but Andrew was extremely helpful and communicative and it couldnt be helped. We rearranged our hire and ended up taking it to a triathlon in the New Forest. I could see Henry as I ran around the course and he gave me a boost!

It was so great to be the ones in the cool vw with kids waving to us from other cars and lots of people in the campsite coming up to meet Henry! It did take a while to get used to the left hand drive but the engine was surprisingly powerful and we were easily cruising on the motorway (compared to our old 1980s Talbot!). The top bunk was pretty comfortable even for 2 grown adults and it was warm and cozy. It has lots of good extras like sat nav, phone charger and Bluetooth.

Andrew is great with arranging everything with you so you dont need to worry. Id definitely recommend hiring Henry.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Andrew and Hettie the camper for providing the wheels for our wedding in july. The camper was perfect - really carefully maintained, and looked the part. Andrew was really calm and easygoing making sure everything ran smoothly and great to have a few bubbles . Thank you!

We had a lovely trip to Shell Island in Honey, campsite was quite noisy so would only return out of peak season. Amazing views over the mountains though.

Great support - Honey was cosy and comfy, slept very well. We took the journey nice and slowly, as it is impossible to rush. Driving an older VW does take a bit of getting used to, but other road users are very forgiving.

Sorry that the holiday went so quickly

Henry is a great campervan with lots of personality and we had a fantastic time with him. Our trip would have been less enjoyable and fun without Henry. He came very well equipped with everything you need for a camping trip stowed in the van’s various cubby holes.

Henry’s owner was very responsive to our queries before our hire and he arranged the fitting of a third belt to the rear bench set, which allowed 5 adults to travel in the van!

Driving Henry was a great experience. He is more powerful than most campers and showed no mercy taking 5 of us and plenty of luggage up the hills of England!

Weve just had a wonderful long weekend away in Chas. A great van with its own little quirkyness - a fab drive and within a few miles husband had declared I want one!. Paulilne and Terry had thought of everything and my little boy really loved it. Super warm inside and well kitted out. Didnt get a chance to use hook-up on the sites we stayed at, but everything was there if wed needed it. Thank you again and we hope to be back to hire Chas again!

We had a fabulous time in "Our Geoffrey" at Leeds Festival. He was a treat to come home at the end of the day. Very well kitted out, lovely looking and made everybody smile.
I wish he was my Geoffrey!

We hired Muriel (1978 VW campervan) to visit Northumbrian coastline and onwards to Edinburgh Festival. We would highly recommend the site at Beal - which overlooks the Holy Island and has excellent on site facilities. As the van is 37yrs old, the steering, brakes and clutch are very different to those in more modern vans. The van is a good looker and lots of people were very complimentary - which might account for the owner being so protective towards her.
