Campervans and motorhomes for hire near Nottingham
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 a first trip into the Peak District or the Dales, a 2 or 4-berth is the easier choice; keep the 6-berth for when you genuinely need six beds. See camper van hire and motorhome hire.
Price follows the same pattern wherever you hire: the smallest camper van is consistently the lowest-cost 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 in the search above for a real price near Nottingham rather than a generic average — see motorhome hire prices for more on what moves it.

Best road trips from Nottingham
- Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood country — under 20 miles, 1 day or as a stop on a longer trip. Ancient oaks, the Sherwood Forest visitor centre, and easy walking trails.
- The Peak District — about 40 miles, 2–3 days. The southern White Peak from Ashbourne and Bakewell, an easy first proper trip from the city.
- The Derbyshire Dales and Chatsworth — about 35 miles, 2 days. Chatsworth House, Dovedale, and gentler valley walking.
- The Lincolnshire Wolds and coast — about 55 miles, 2–3 days. Rolling wolds inland, then the wide beaches around Skegness and Mablethorpe.
- The Lake District — about 140 miles, 3–5 days. A longer haul north-west, worth it as an extended trip rather than a weekend.

When to travel
July and August are busiest and dearest, and the closest vans book first — reserve three to four months ahead. Spring and September are quieter and cheaper, and Sherwood and the Peak are pleasant year-round given the right vehicle.

Where can I pick up a campervan near Nottingham?
Owners list vehicles across Nottingham and into Derby, Mansfield and Newark. A 20–30 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 near Nottingham?
Yes — many East Midlands owners set their vans up for dogs, which suits Sherwood Forest and the Peak District. Filter for pet-friendly vehicles and check the owner’s policy. See dog-friendly campervan hire.
What does “fully insured” cover?
Motor insurance for the named driver or drivers is arranged as part of the booking, so you do not organise cover separately. 24/7 roadside assistance is an optional extra you can add when you book. The damage excess and the refundable security deposit are set out on the listing and in the rental agreement before you pay. Terms vary by owner.
Can I pick up in Nottingham and drop off somewhere else?
On some vehicles. Owners and operators that allow one-way hire charge a fee for it, shown on the listing — filter for one-way hire if that’s what you need. Not every vehicle offers it.
How far in advance should I book?
For summer, three to four months ahead — the nearest vehicles go first. Off-season, a few weeks is usually enough.
