Conversion History: Bramble's owners first rented a Quirky Camper back in 2019 and fell in love with the freedom and spontaneity of off-grid van life and exploring our amazing outdoors. The fun and freedom of chasing blue skies and searching for hidden gems and sandy beaches led to the dream come true that is Bramble. Bramble offers the freedom to explore the great outdoors and a place to eat, sleep and repeat after a good day on the fells, shredding up the trails or waterfall dipping. Bramble's owners can offer a local's guide to off-grid van life in the lakes and point you in the direction of the best microbreweries and plant-based eateries.
