At Bunk Campers, we offer fully equipped campervans for all tastes and budgets with comfy beds, cooking facilities, bathrooms, heating and electricity. Pick up a campervan that suits your requirements from Bunk Campers’ London Heathrow depot and get on the open road.

Top 5 England East Holiday Trips

1. The inspirational Lake District

Reaching England’s largest National Park from our London Gatwick depot won’t take you a long time. With a full range of beautiful campsites to leave your camper, the Lake District is a gem of a place to visit with your family. The park offers activities and free events suitable for all ages and interests. Enjoy a cycle or ride around the District’s soaring mountains –locally known as fells. Join a guided walk –specially planned for children– around its quiet, remote valleys. Get on the water on one of the park’s breathtaking lakes or take a stroll along its sandy coastline. If travelling with teenagers, jump into some of the high adrenaline experiences or attend one of the 500 festivals and country shows that the Lake District run every year.

2. Awe-inspiring views from the White Cliffs of Dover

Landmark of the English Channel, you will wonder at the White Cliffs’ beauty and unique flora and fauna. Park up your camper and walk along coastal paths. After admiring the picturesque South Foreland Lighthouse, drive back to Dover and visit the Castle, where your children will let their imagination run. At night, put kids to bed and enjoy a glass of wine in your camper, while gazing the Cliffs illuminated by the Lighthouse’s gleam.

3. Action-packed holidays in Snowdonia National Park

Located in Wales, Snowdonia National Park is the perfect destination for a short break from our London Gatwick depot. There’s a great deal to discover in the park for all the family: from outdoors activities to music festivals, vertiginous railways or adventure centres, all set to a backdrop of stunning scenery. This Easter, don’t miss the chance to drive to the tallest mountain in Wales and England, the Snowdon, and its spectacular surroundings, which along the Llŷn Peninsula is a protected ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’.

4. Beach vibes at the Cornish Coast

Enjoy a 200-mile road trip around Cornwall, named one of the top 500 Drives of a Lifetime by National Geographic. Admire Cornwall’s whitewashed seaside villages, Celtic ruins, steep cliffs and green countryside on your way. When you get tired of driving, park up your campervan and explore the region’s tiny hamlets and remote coves by walking along the South West Coastal Path, the longest footpath in England. Before moving on, cook in your camper and have lunch by the beach, admiring the breath-taking coastline that cascades into the Atlantic.

5. The natural beauty of Brecon Beacons

This Welsh National Park covers around 520 square miles filled with moorland, mountains, vibrant waterfalls, exceptional wildlife, castles, standing stones and local legends. Whether you’re planning a peaceful break with nature, cultural tour or an action-packed holiday, The Park offers plenty for all the family. Camp out in the fresh air, at the foot of the Black Mountain, or enjoy the sound of running water if you stay beside the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal.
