Compare campervans, motorhomes and RVs to hire in Devon, listed by private owners and local hire businesses. See prices, photos and reviews for campervan hire in the UK, then book online with insurance included.
Devon has two very different coastlines and Dartmoor and Exmoor in between — a genuinely varied county that rewards slow touring rather than racing between spots. Enter your Devon postcode on the search page, set a collection radius, and you will see insured campervans and motorhomes from owners and operators across the county.
Every vehicle is listed by its owner — private owners and local rental businesses — and booked through our partner Outdoorsy, with insurance and payment protection on every booking.
Campervans and motorhomes for hire in Devon
The choice runs from 2-berth camper vans — a converted van that sleeps two and drives much like a large car — to 6-berth motorhomes with a full kitchen and bathroom. A berth is a sleeping space, so a 4-berth sleeps four. For Dartmoor’s narrow lanes and the smaller coastal villages, a 2 or 4-berth is far easier than a large motorhome. See camper van hire and motorhome hire.
Price follows the same pattern wherever you hire: the smallest camper van is consistently the cheapest option, a 6-berth motorhome the most expensive, and the price per night usually drops the longer you book for. Booking in the school holidays, especially August, costs noticeably more than spring or autumn. Enter your dates on the search page for a real price rather than a generic average — see motorhome hire prices for more on what moves it.

Best places to go in Devon
- Dartmoor — wild moorland, granite tors and wild camping spots (where genuinely permitted), about 1 hour from Exeter, 2–4 days.
- The South Devon coast — Salcombe, Dartmouth and the English Riviera around Torquay, 2–5 days. Sheltered coves and a milder climate.
- The North Devon coast and Exmoor — Woolacombe’s beaches and Exmoor’s ponies and moorland, 2–4 days.
- Onward to Cornwall — about 40 miles from Plymouth, for a longer south-west trip; see Cornwall.
Campsites in Devon
- Cofton Country Holidays, near Dawlish — a large, well-equipped site close to the South Devon coast.
- Runnage Farm Campsite, on Dartmoor — a simple, basic site inside the national park itself.
When to travel
July and August are the busiest, dearest weeks and the closest vans and coastal campsites book first — reserve three to four months ahead. Spring and September are cheaper and quieter, and Dartmoor and the coast are pleasant well outside the school holidays.

Campervan and motorhome hire in Devon — FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Devon?
It depends mainly on the vehicle size, the season and how long you hire for. A small camper van is consistently the cheapest option and a large motorhome the most expensive; booking in the school holidays, especially August, costs noticeably more than spring or autumn; and the price per night usually drops the longer you book for.

Where can I pick up a campervan in Devon?
Owners list vehicles across Exeter, Plymouth and the coastal towns. A 20–35 mile radius in the search shows the full choice.
Can I drive a motorhome on a normal car licence?
Yes, for almost all of them. A full UK car licence covers vehicles up to 3,500 kg — every camper van and most 2 to 6-berth motorhomes. The listing flags any that need a C1 licence.
Are there dog-friendly campervans in Devon?
Yes — many owners set their vans up for dogs, which suits Dartmoor and the coast path well. Filter for pet-friendly vehicles and check the owner’s policy. See dog-friendly campervan hire.
How far in advance should I book?
For summer, three to four months ahead — the nearest vehicles and coastal campsites go first. Off-season, a few weeks is usually enough.
