European Campervan Hire and Touring

June and early July is the time to head out for a European campervan hire road-trip in your VW California from Active Kampers and beat the mid summer crowds. Along with September, you’ll have the camping pitches to yourself, especially in France where holiday times are rigidly restricted to August. Imagine parking up by a deserted surf beach watching the waves sets roll in, or under the shelter of pine trees by Europe’s biggest sand dunes, at Dune de Pilat just South of Bordeaux.

Touring Europe in a luxury campervan is what the feature packed VW California is made for. With its high performance engine, fuel economy, comfort and ease to drive you’ll be speeding past the snail like motorhomes, sneaking under the beach front car park barriers and effortlessly sliding into the small village parking spaces.

We have planned road trips for you to give you a start. How about driving down to Northern Spain via the vineyards and castles of the Loire, sandy surf beaches and mountains of the Pyrenees? Or maybe driving through the stunningly pretty Black forest of Southern Germany and down to the Italian lakes, returning via the canyon of the Ardeche in France?

European campsites are usually fantastic with lovely swimming pools and good quality food offered. I’ve stayed in some stunning ones recently for as low as 10 Euros per night for one campervan. You’ll be getting the VW California folding chairs and table out and extending out the canopy of the awning for shade from sun not rain as in the UK!

Wherever you chose to go, a VW California Hire from Active Kampers in Brighton, Sussex will help you to have one of the most fantastic European touring holidays ever.
