Dora was not only a joy to drive but also a pleasure to live in. 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. See you again soon, Dora – try not to miss us too much! 🚐😊

We hired Everest in Bristol. Great van from a super friendly couple. It has been well stocked and well looked after. Would recommend. Airport pickup was a bonus.

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

We rented Everest for a half term mid week trip to the Peak District. We had an excellent time and enjoyed the van life. Charlotte and Michael were very helpful and were quick to answer our questions.

I really enjoyed my stay in Thelma , plenty of room to have 3 beds up permanently at the same time as a proper table & chairs. I would rent her again.

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!!

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.

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

Southampton Campervan Hire FAQ

Where can I pick up a campervan in Southampton?

Southampton 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 docks, the airport, or the ferry terminals. From Southampton, you are well placed for the New Forest, the South Downs and the Isle of Wight, which makes it easy to start the holiday without adding a long first drive.

Where can I take a campervan from Southampton?

From Southampton, popular campervan routes include the New Forest, the South Downs towards Winchester and beyond, and, via ferry, the Isle of Wight. It is an easy place to start if you want a working port city on day one and forest, downland or island coastline soon after. For a smoother Southampton 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 Southampton?

There are plenty of places to camp near Southampton if you plan the route in advance. Look around the New Forest, the South Downs and the Isle of Wight for touring pitches, farm stays and quieter countryside options. Sites near popular spots can book up over summer, so it pays to secure your first night early. Before booking near Southampton, check van size limits, arrival windows and whether hardstanding is available.

Can I wild camp near Southampton in a campervan?

Campervan wild camping around Southampton and the surrounding countryside should only happen where you have permission or a clearly allowed overnight stop. The New Forest in particular has strict rules protecting its grazing animals and habitats, so it is best not to wing it. A booked pitch around Southampton gives you certainty, facilities and a much calmer start the next morning.

Can I hire a campervan for events near Southampton?

Event weekends are a popular reason to hire a campervan near Southampton. VanLove Festival takes place 18–21 June 2026 at Thruxton Race Circuit in Hampshire, open to campervans, motorhomes and van conversions, and the Isle of Wight Festival runs the same weekend, reachable by ferry. Before booking a Southampton campervan for an event, confirm campervan access, parking passes and whether overnight stays are actually allowed.

How much does campervan hire in Southampton cost?

Prices for campervan hire in Southampton start from £90 per night. Your Southampton quote will reflect the vehicle, time of year, journey length and any extras selected during booking. If you are weighing up a New Forest escape, a South Downs loop or an Isle of Wight crossing, try searching flexible dates to see the widest choice.

Why choose Quirky Campers?

Southampton is the gateway to ancient forest, rolling downland and an island national park, all within an easy first drive or a short ferry hop. If you’re looking for a holiday among free-roaming ponies or a tour along chalk cliffs and island beaches, one of our fantastic homes on wheels will be the perfect option for your travels ahead.

Things to do in Southampton

The city itself has more history than people expect, medieval city walls still stand in places, the SeaCity Museum tells the Titanic story from the port it sailed from, and Ocean Village has a pleasant waterfront to wander before setting off.

Head out of town, and you’re among ponies and ancient trees within twenty minutes. Think open heathland in the New Forest, chalk ridgelines on the South Downs, and a proper change of pace on the Isle of Wight.
