She came fully furnished, with all the necessary accessories readily available for cooking, cleaning, and relaxing. 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?" Thank you, Dora, for being the perfect travel companion and home away from home. We’re already looking forward to our next adventure together.

    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

Cumbria Campervan Hire FAQ

Where can I pick up a campervan in Cumbria?

Cumbria 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 Kendal, Penrith, Carlisle, Oxenholme or nearby rural collection points. From Cumbria, you are well placed for the Lake District, Eden Valley, Hadrian’s Wall and the Yorkshire Dales, which makes it easy to start the holiday without adding a long first drive.

Where can I take a campervan from Cumbria?

From Cumbria, popular campervan routes include Keswick, Ullswater, Windermere, Coniston, the Eden Valley, Hadrian’s Wall and the western Lakes. A campervan gives you flexibility, but the narrowest lake roads are best approached slowly and with a planned overnight stop. For a smoother Cumbria 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 Cumbria?

There are plenty of places to camp near Cumbria if you plan the route in advance. Look around Keswick, Ullswater, Windermere, Coniston, Kendal, the Eden Valley and the western Lakes for touring pitches, farm stays and quieter countryside options. Mountain festival weekends and school holidays can make popular valleys feel very busy. Before booking near Cumbria, check van size limits, arrival windows and whether hardstanding is available.

Can I wild camp near Cumbria in a campervan?

Campervan wild camping around Cumbria and the Lake District National Park should only happen where you have permission or a clearly allowed overnight stop. Across Cumbria and the Lake District National Park, car parks, beaches and rural lanes can all have different rules, so it is best not to wing it. A booked pitch around Cumbria gives you certainty, facilities and a much calmer start the next morning.

Can I hire a campervan for events near Cumbria?

Event weekends are a popular reason to hire a campervan near Cumbria. Kendal Calling, Keswick Mountain Festival, Appleby Horse Fair, Westmorland County Show and Kendal Mountain Festival all bring extra demand to already-popular touring areas. Before booking a Cumbria campervan for the event, confirm campervan access, parking passes and whether overnight stays are actually allowed.

How much does campervan hire in Cumbria cost?

Prices for campervan hire in Cumbria start from £90 per night. Your Cumbria quote will reflect the vehicle, time of year, journey length and any extras selected during booking. If you are weighing up a Kendal Calling weekend, a walking holiday or a Lake District touring route, try searching flexible dates to see the widest choice.

Is Cumbria near the Lake District?

Cumbria and The Lakes – Cumbria is the entryway to the Lakes. Famously deep and beautiful stepping into the lakeside villages of Cumbria is like stepping back in time. Quaint stone-walled cottages perch on the shore of vast, deep lakes some so big they have their own lake islands. The Lakes are an oasis of calm in a busy world, while away the hours reading a book by the lakeside, sitting in one of the many historic pubs with a G&T or paddling the afternoon away in a kayak.

When you’re done with your exploring for the day there’s nothing like kicking back in a campervan with the awning out, basking in the evening sunshine. Whether is summer sunnies or winter sunshine it’s an experience like no other. Check out our Campervans with Awnings for hire, or if you’re looking for something a little more luxurious, why not check out our Cream of the Quirk range which showcases the quirkiest campervans around!
