Comfortable, spacious, and easy to maintain, Dora provided everything we needed for a perfect getaway. We all had a wonderful weekend and created some fantastic memories. Dora behaved impeccably throughout the trip—no complaints, no drama, and she even managed to get us there and back without asking, "Are we nearly there yet?"

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bluebelle was absolutely brilliant and made our Shindig Festival weekend so comfortable. We were two adults and two children, and there was plenty of space for all of us. You can tell a huge amount of thought has gone into every detail. We loved the clever pump sink, and were amazed at how long the water lasted. There were so many thoughtful touches throughout the van, including the magnetic picture that transforms into a blind, which we thought was such a lovely idea. The bed over the cab was fantastic and really helped maximise the space. We didn't get a chance to use the stove because we were lucky enough to have a heatwave, but it would make Bluebelle incredibly cosy on cooler evenings. Despite the hot weather, we stayed cool and comfortable throughout our trip. Everything was clean, well organised and easy to use. Bluebelle is a beautiful campervan, full of character and practical features. We'd happily hire her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable campervan adventure. Louise

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were forced to make a last minute booking and the both the Team at Quirky Campers and the owners were really communicative and helpful. Thank you. We've hired a number of vans before. Here is our review of Solveig.  "Perfect. Solveig is a robust van with absolutely everything we needed. She drove brilliantly - smooth and economical. The handover was great and Matt was thorough in explaining everything to us. We had lots of space, a really comfy bed, plenty of water - hot and cold, outside shower (she has both internal and external shower, but we opted for al fresco and use the inside for storage). The fridge was really efficient and kept everything cool. We had 6 nights fully off grid and didn't need hook-up at all and just needed to empty water once. Brilliant! Awning, super-comfy reclining outdoor chairs, table and loads of other accessories - fab. Oh, a final word on the lighting. Great internal lights. Magical. We really stood out in a field full of vans and she got a lot of attention - all good of course. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Perfect for exploring the South of England or beyond,with easy access into the continent. Thanks, Matt & Emma" - and everyone at Quirky Campers. See you next adventure!!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The camper van was clean and well organised with the thinks you need. Charlotte was responsive in the pre-hire period and even with a question when we were away. We were given a complete run through on how everything worked. Everything was as expected from what was advertised in the web site. If you are 2 adults I would recommend not sleeping on the bed within the camper van as this is more suited to children, it's very hard.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Florence is an absolutely amazing camper and her owners Paul and Lisa are absolutely amazing as well. I could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend anyone book Florence if they want to be offgrid or on and have all the amenities as well. Having a full oven made a huge difference and having a toilet and shower was so convenient. Florence is a beautiful , capable ,safe easy to drive camper combine that with the ease of communication and clarity of instructions from Paul makes this a win-win situation. Paul was extremely easy to communicate with and sent over an easy to read , functional set of instructions for Florence prior to my arrival so I felt quite at home and capable of driving Florence straightaway. I've started making plans to come back to to the UK next year and book Florence again

QUICK ANSWERS FOR HIRERS

Cardiff Campervan Hire FAQ

Where can I pick up a campervan in Cardiff?

Cardiff campervan pick-up is arranged from the specific van’s own collection point. You’ll see the collection area on the listing before you book, so you can choose something practical for the city centre or Cardiff Airport. From Cardiff, you are well placed for the Brecon Beacons, the Gower Peninsula and the Wye Valley, which makes it easy to start the holiday without adding a long first drive.

Where can I take a campervan from Cardiff?

From Cardiff, popular campervan routes include the Brecon Beacons, the Gower Peninsula’s beaches, and the Wye Valley towards Monmouth and Tintern. It is an easy place to start if you want capital city life on day one and mountains or coastline soon after. For a smoother Cardiff trip, keep day one fairly light so you have time to collect the van, settle in and enjoy the first proper stop.

Are there good campervan campsites near Cardiff?

There are plenty of places to camp near Cardiff if you plan the route in advance. Look around the Brecon Beacons, the Gower Peninsula and the Wye Valley for touring pitches, farm stays and quieter countryside options. Sites near popular spots can book up around festival season and school holidays, so it pays to secure your first night early. Before booking near Cardiff, check van size limits, arrival windows and whether hardstanding is available.

Can I wild camp near Cardiff in a campervan?

Campervan wild camping around Cardiff and the surrounding countryside should only happen where you have permission or a clearly allowed overnight stop. Across the Brecon Beacons, the Gower and the Wye Valley, car parks, beaches and rural lanes can all have different rules, so it is best not to wing it. A booked pitch around Cardiff gives you certainty, facilities and a much calmer start the next morning.

Can I hire a campervan for events near Cardiff?

Event weekends are a popular reason to hire a campervan near Cardiff. Green Man Festival in the Brecon Beacons runs across August 2026 with camping available for campervans and motorhomes, and Volksfest Wales takes place 14–16 August 2026 at Watton Show Fields, Brecon. Before booking a Cardiff campervan for an event, confirm campervan access, parking passes and whether overnight stays are actually allowed.

How much does campervan hire in Cardiff cost?

Prices for campervan hire in Cardiff start from £90 per night. Your Cardiff quote will reflect the vehicle, time of year, journey length and any extras selected during booking. If you are weighing up a Beacons escape, a Gower beach trip or a longer Wye Valley loop, try searching flexible dates to see the widest choice.

Why choose Quirky Campers?

Cardiff is the gateway to some of Wales’ best-loved scenery, mountains, beaches and river valleys, all within an easy first drive. If you’re looking for a holiday among waterfalls and dark skies or a tour along some of the country’s finest coastline, one of our fantastic homes on wheels will be the perfect option for your travels ahead.

Things to do in Cardiff

The city itself punches above its weight, Cardiff Castle sits right in the centre, Cardiff Bay has a genuinely nice waterfront to wander, and St Fagans National Museum of History is one of the best open-air museums in the country.

Head out of town, and you’re in proper national park scenery within the hour. Think waterfalls and sandstone ridges in the Brecon Beacons, golden beaches along the Gower, and wooded river gorges in the Wye Valley.
