Discover your own picnic spots in a hired VW Camper Van. There is so much fun to be had in an authentic VW Camper as you try life in the slow lane.
Hiring a camper van from The Bristol Camper Company is the perfect way for families, couples or friends to enjoy a summer break with a unique twist and offers an unrivalled chance to see the British countryside in all its glory.
There is something about being in the van that just makes you feel 'free'. Sit back and take a relaxed grip on the steering wheel as you bounce along the B-roads listing to the oh-so unique purr of the engine. It really urges you to slow down and explore the scenic roads in a spontaneous adventure of camping and picnicking 'in the wild'.
There are no boundaries - when you see a good spot, simply park up, get your fresh picnic from the van's fridge, and lounge in the comfy interior with the door open and the breeze in your hair.
Then off you go again... Then, later in the day, when you feel that it is time to turn in, find a suitable camping spot and unwind, hassle-free.
All cooking equipment is provided, including a hob cooker, grill, sink, fridge, cutlery and utensils. The van has all its original features but with added mod cons to bring it up-to-date including CD and i-pod attachments. Interiors include a heater, internal and garden tables and chairs, and soft lighting to help wind down after a day of exploring. A chequered blanket gives it a real authentic touch.
The bed is surprisingly extremely comfy; and you'll enjoy a lovely wake-up call from the sunrise peeking through the curtains..... a glorious morning calling for another day of adventure.
