Your Camperbug Holiday Reviews

Fab experience both online and with the owner. I hired this van as my wedding car and as I had a third party pick it up and drive it for me everyone was very accommodating at meeting our needs. P.s The Victoria Sponge cake was amazing, and very much needed whilst setting up the venue the day before! Thank you Camper Bug!!

We hired our camper from Katy in Bristol and we drove up to the Greenbelt festival in Cheltenham then down to Cornwall to visit the Eden project.

This 2011 camper has the appeal of the original van and much of the original engineering making for an authentic VW camper van experience. For one week we lived the dream. We loved It.

Owning a camper van is beyond the budget of most, so renting makes it possible.

Katy was very helpful, the van was clean and tidy and came with comfortable fresh bed linen.

Add hiring a camper van to your bucket list but don\t put it off for too long as you will need strong arms to handle the steering.

Me my daughter & border collie hired Scarlet for 3 nights & toured south devon- wow what a fantastic exciting experience that was! It should be on everyone\s bucket list. I won\t lie- she took a bit if getting used to & needs lots of TLC- but she will make it with your while. There\s plenty of room and everything thing you need to eat, sleep and have fun in. You might end up with arms like a weight lifter after turning all the corners of the costal cliff roads, but it\s all part of the fun packed ride & experience.
We will be doing it all again very soon.
Till the next time!

We hired Tinkerbell, and had just the best time in her. We drove around parts of Dorset - went to Westbay and Studland Bay, Corfe Castle and, of course, slept in her. Really fun to drive, and very comfy to sleep in. My youngest daughter (12) slept in one of the hammocks in the pop up - found it so comfortable that we couldn\\\t get her out in the mornings! I\\\ve now got even more of a thing about classic VW campervans and can\\\t wait to go away in one again! Also loved how when you drive past another campervan you all wave at each other!

Brilliant!!

Wonderful weekend enjoyed by all :)
Plenty of room for 2 adults and 3 kids and space for us all to sleep in the van
Henrys owners had thought of everything and the welcome hamper was a lovely surprise
We would definitely do this again!!

At the Tynemouth VW Vintage rally

We had a great week in the Toyota Hiace traveling around Cornwall. We discovered some great campsites which we would never have done with a tent. Our daughter loved sleeping in the top bunk and the downstairs bed was full width and surprisingly comfortable for a campervan. Dale left us complimentary tea, coffee and milk in the van and it had all the stuff youd need including a stove and microwave. The bathroom is handy for wild camping but we used it for storing our bags, wetsuits and sandy beach stuff which kept the rest of the van clean. Recommend putting up a pop up tent for baggage if want to use bathroom. All in all a great van.

Arthur was a great addition to the family! We had a great time in him and were sad to say goodbye at the end of the week. He got many an admiring glance and made people smile. Zoe was very helpful and didnt mind a couple of phone calls about awnings! We would all love to do it angain it was very easy and enjoyable - a very memorable experience x

Great van, they are tiny those old vans! Was a bit paranoid for the whole trip of losing my £500 security deposit which did put a bit of a dampener on the trip but on the up-side the van was immaculate and all that was expected. Could have done with a spare gas cylinder in the van as we ran out during saturday night cooking with no way to get more gas until Sunday opening.

Great van, very well equipped, bit stressful worrying about the deposit but this may apply to all vans.

I hired Jimmy for a surprise road trip for my girlfriends 30th Birthday. The van was perfect and it was hard to give it back after 5 days!! Really clean with everything we needed to jump in and head off. We went to Yorkshire then Edinburgh round to Fort William and stopped in the Lake District on the way back. My girlfriend was really pleased so thanks for helping to make a milestone birthday one to remember!!

We had the most wonderful holiday with Billy Brown! We wanted to keep her forever. I took my 4 grown up children and we laughed so much....well they did at my driving! It was the most therapeutic week Ive ever experienced and I would thoroughly recommend it. If I won the Lottery then I would go straight out and buy a vw campervan with my winnings and treat my friends and family to the same fabulous experience. Lisa and Simon were very helpful and patient with my many requests and queries but Jason was particularly kind and brave risking his life taking me out for a test drive in Guildford! Thank you for allowing us to tootle all the way to Cornwall and back with the lovable Billy Brown. We miss her already!

Forgot to add in initial review that we travelled all over Scotland, up mountains and down glens. We even saw the Loch Ness Monster from Greta.

My family and I had a wonderful holiday in this amazing campervan. Greta was great fun and my husbnad really enjoyed driving her. We very quickly got used to te relaxed feelings that come with a wonderful campervan holiday.

The roll out bed was very comfotable and the boys found the bunk beds great fun. We loved cooking on the stove under the seat.

From booking the campervan to handing her back we got great customer service. Good communication via text and email.

The only downside was, we had to hand her back.

Wonderful views

Dinner time

Loved pulling over to enjoy the views.

We took Croyde to Leeds Festival.

He was immaculate when we picked him up and kitted out to a VERY high standard. Mark, his owner had thought of everything and included all the little things wed forgotten!

Mark was so easy going and friendly, an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Inside, Croyde is spacious and comfortable. I didnt want to get out of bed!! Everything we needed for cooking was provided and having two gas rings was really useful. The furnishings were stylish, clean and new and people commented on how lovely he looked.

I found Croyde easy to drive and enjoyed having the ipod connector so we could listen to our music as well as the radio. Croydes got a great sound system which makes all the difference! There was loads of space for all our gear so we had plenty of room whether we were travelling or camping.

I would recommend Croyde to anyone and cant wait until our next trip.
Croydes certainly given us the Camper-Bug!!!

I hired Cornelius from Tim Ellis for the week commencing August 16. My review is as follows:

Hiring Cornelius was simply amazing. He is a true 1970’s VW campervan with all the character and personality that that entails. I found myself talking to Cornelius quite soon after I picked him up as did the children, simply because he felt so friendly! He has been beautifully and respectfully maintained – due regard has been given to his original state and there are no out of character enhancements, and this all added to the authentic VW campervan experience.

The owners (Tim and Penny Ellis) were exceptionally kind and kitted the van out with all manner of camping necessities from silver foil to washing up liquid and even included a kite and a cricket set!

Unfortunately, Cornelius broke down. This was a mechanical failure due to his age and this meant we had to cut our holiday short. The owners, without any prompting recovered our camping gear from the campsite, put us up in their farmhouse for the night and compensated us for the days we missed. It was a real pleasure to be treated so properly and well.

I will use Cornelius again soon. Thank you.

Florence was a fabulous experience! We took her to a festival. She is very clean & loaded up with all the amenities you could need. Great storage. Comfy bedding. The free drive away awning was a massive plus! Highly recommend :-)

We would just like to say how much we loved renting Bruce for the Green Man Festival this year. It was such a great experience and a real adventure driving through the beautiful countryside and then camping in such an iconic vehicle. He is in fantastic condition, and well looked after by his concientious owners. We cant wait for a repeat trip! Highly recommended. S&A
