Why choose Bristol for your road trip
Bristol — a city worth exploring
Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge has spanned 214 metres across the Avon Gorge since 1864, making it one of the most recognisable landmarks in the south-west of England. The city sits at the confluence of the rivers Avon and Frome, and its harbourside area has been transformed into a lively cultural quarter home to We The Curious, an interactive science centre, and M Shed, a museum telling the story of Bristol through the eyes of its people. Art lovers will find the Arnolfini gallery on the waterfront, while street art trails across Stokes Croft and Bedminster showcase the city's creative spirit, shaped in part by the anonymous artist Banksy. For green space, the Bristol Zoo Project in South Gloucestershire offers a rewilding-focused experience just 6 km north of the centre. Beyond the city, Bath is only 19 km south-east along the A4, and the Cheddar Gorge sits roughly 40 km to the south-west, both ideal for day trips. Bristol's road network connects easily to the M5 and M4 motorways, giving campervan travellers smooth access to the Cotswolds, South Wales, and the Devon coast. Narrow lanes around Clifton Village and the old harbour can be tight for larger vehicles, so planning your route in advance is worthwhile. With Yescapa, you can hire a motorhome or campervan directly from local owners in Bristol, which means flexible pick-up points across the city and genuine tips from people who know the area best.
Best time to visit
Bristol welcomes visitors year-round, with each season offering something special. The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta in August fills the sky with over 100 hot-air balloons and draws large, cheerful crowds to Ashton Court Estate. In September, the Bristol Harbour Festival brings music, food, and boat displays to the waterfront. Summer is the busiest period for campervan travel, so booking your vehicle on Yescapa a few weeks ahead ensures the best choice from local owners. Spring and autumn are ideal for exploring the Avon Gorge and nearby Cotswolds with quieter roads and comfortable driving conditions. Winter brings festive markets to Broadmead and the harbourside, perfect for a cosy short break.
Top getaways from Bristol
Bristol is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Bristol to Pembrokeshire
210km west 5–8 days
Around 210 km west of Bristol, the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales offers cliff-top walks and sandy bays. Hike sections of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, visit St Davids Cathedral and relax at Barafundle Bay. The M4 and A48 take you smoothly across the Severn Bridge. Coastal campsites offer pitches with sea views, ideal for a campervan week away.
Bristol to Cornwall
280km southwest 5–8 days
About 280 km south-west of Bristol, Cornwall delivers rugged coastline and a mild climate. Visit the Eden Project near St Austell and the tidal island of St Michael's Mount at Marazion. The A30 carries you through Devon to England's tip. Campsites such as Ayr Holiday Park in St Ives provide motorhome pitches with coastal views — a fitting finale to a week-long trip.
Bristol to Bath
19km east 1–3 days
Just 19 km east of Bristol, Bath rewards with Georgian townhouses and the Roman Baths. Stop at Kelston Round Hill for panoramic views on the way. In Bath, stroll along the Royal Crescent and cross Pulteney Bridge. Campervan-friendly parking is available on the outskirts with regular bus links into the centre.
Bristol to Cheddar Gorge

Around 120 km south-west of Bristol, Exmoor National Park combines moorland, wooded valleys and dramatic coastline. Visit the village of Lynmouth and the Valley of Rocks near Lynton. The A39 coast road offers wide views but narrows in places, so allow extra time. Campsites such as Burrowhayes Farm welcome campervans and larger vehicles alike.
Bristol to the Cotswolds
140km north 3–6 days
About 140 km north of Bristol, the Cotswolds roll through gentle hills and honey-coloured villages. Stop in Bourton-on-the-Water and visit the Cotswold Motoring Museum.

Where to park your motorhome
Bristol has specific parking rules for motorhomes and campervans. Vehicles over 5 metres are restricted on many city-centre streets. Use designated park-and-ride sites or larger car parks on the outskirts, which can accommodate bigger vehicles. Overnight sleeping in a vehicle is generally not permitted on public car parks — plan a campsite for the night instead. Several car parks offer day rates that are more affordable than parking in the centre.
- Brislington Park & Ride, 5km southeast — Large park-and-ride site south-east of the centre with regular bus links, suitable for motorhomes and campervans during the day.
- Long Ashton Park & Ride, 5km southwest — Park-and-ride facility south-west of Bristol with direct bus service to the centre, enough space for larger vehicles.
- Cabot Circus Car Park, 1km northeast — Central multi-storey car park near Cabot Circus with a 2.1 m height limit — suitable for smaller campervans only.
Frequently asked questions
Campervan hire in Bristol starts from around £70 per day, while larger motorhomes are available from roughly £90 per day. Through Yescapa you hire directly from private owners, which often works out more affordable than traditional rental companies. Prices vary by season, vehicle size and features. Spring and autumn generally offer lower daily rates than the peak summer months. Browse different listings on the platform to find the best value for your trip.
On Yescapa you will find vehicles listed across several Bristol neighbourhoods, including Bedminster, Clifton and Filton. Motorhomes and campervans are also available in surrounding towns such as Keynsham and Thornbury. Pick-up is arranged directly with the owner, so you can agree on a meeting point that suits you. Many owners offer flexible collection times, which is especially handy if you are arriving by train at Bristol Temple Meads station.
On Yescapa you can compare listings from different private owners in and around Bristol, helping you find the best value. Book as early as possible, since early reservations often secure lower prices. Flexible travel dates outside the summer months can bring additional savings. Look for vehicles that include mileage and essentials like a kitchenette and bedding to avoid extra costs. Multi-day bookings frequently offer a better daily rate than short hires, so a longer trip can actually save you money.
For couples or solo travellers, a compact campervan with two berths is ideal — it is easy to manoeuvre on Bristol's narrower streets and simple to park. Families with children do well with a motorhome offering four to six berths, providing more living space and often a separate sleeping area. Groups of five or more can find larger vehicles with overcab beds or drop-down bunks on Yescapa. Keep in mind that bigger vehicles need a little extra care on some country lanes in Somerset and the Cotswolds.
Yes, many owners on Yescapa in and around Bristol welcome dogs. Vehicle listings indicate whether pets are allowed and any specific rules that apply. Bristol itself offers dog-friendly walks along the River Avon and through Ashton Court Estate. Many campsites in the surrounding area, particularly in the Mendip Hills, also allow dogs on site. Check the pet policy with the owner before booking to make sure your four-legged companion can travel comfortably with you.

Paloma and Raid were great in every sense, thoughtful about everything, easy to communicate with and left the van in great condition upon return, and they are very pleasant people overall, so all the recommendations for them!
Joery
5 / 5
What a fantastic camper! It's cozy and comfortable, with everything you need on board. It also drives really nicely. We used it for a road trip along the Portuguese coast, and it was perfect for the trip. Pedro is an excellent owner: he took plenty of time to explain everything clearly, responds quickly to questions, and also gave us some great tips for the best spots to camp. In short, highly recommended!
Jacob

Our trip with Davide’s van to the Dolomites and northern Italy was incredible. He was always responsive and helpful with all questions. His van is very impressive and has everything you need for a long journey. Would 10/10 do it again!
Alexandra
5 / 5
Ce van est une véritable perle. C'est un modèle ancien, certes, mais il est parfaitement entretenu et tout fonctionne à merveille. La prise en charge et la restitution ont été faciles, et le propriétaire est très sympathique. Le van est extrêmement bien équipé ; nous avons séjourné dans un camping, mais le véhicule est tout à fait prêt pour plusieurs jours en autonomie. Merci pour ce superbe long week-end !
