Why Choose Bristol for Your Campervan Trip?

Bristol — a city worth exploring

Bristol sits in south-west England along the River Avon, bordered by Gloucestershire, Somerset and the Bristol Channel. It is a city that rewards curiosity — a place where engineering heritage meets world-class street art, independent food scenes and a festival calendar that rarely takes a break. Picking up a campervan or motorhome here puts you right at the crossroads of some of England's most exciting road trip routes.

The legacy of Isambard Kingdom Brunel runs deep in Bristol. His Clifton Suspension Bridge stretches across the Avon Gorge, and Brunel's SS Great Britain — the world's first great ocean liner — sits in its original dry dock at the Harbourside. Nearby, M Shed tells the story of the city itself, while Bristol Cathedral dates from the 12th century and the gothic church of St Mary Redcliffe has welcomed visitors since 1442. At the Harbourside, We The Curious is a hands-on science centre with the UK's first 3D Planetarium, and Bristol Aquarium brings tropical marine life to the waterfront.

Beyond the landmarks, Bristol's neighbourhoods each have their own character. Clifton Village offers independent shops and cafés along The Mall, Wapping Wharf serves up street food from converted shipping containers, and St Werburghs has a calm, village feel just minutes from the centre. The city is also the birthplace of Banksy, and street art murals cover walls across Bedminster and Stokes Croft. With over 400 parks and green spaces — including Ashton Court Estate and Brandon Hill — you are never far from fresh air before heading out on the open road.

Best time to visit

Bristol is a year-round destination, but the city comes alive from May to September when outdoor festivals fill the calendar. Love Saves the Day kicks off the festival season in May at Ashton Court, followed by Bristol Harbour Festival in July — a free event that draws over 250,000 visitors. In August, the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta sees over 100 hot air balloons rise from Ashton Court Estate, complete with spectacular night glows.

Spring and early autumn offer a sweet spot for campervan travellers: quieter campsites, lower hire costs and pleasant weather for exploring the Cotswolds and Mendip Hills. Winter brings the Bristol Light Festival in February and festive markets in December — ideal for a cosy short break in your motorhome.

Where to Park Your RV

Parking a motorhome in Bristol city centre requires planning. Bristol operates a Clean Air Zone covering central roads — older vehicles that do not meet Euro 6 diesel or Euro 4 petrol standards may be charged £9 per day. Most Park and Ride sites and multi-storey car parks have a 2.1 m height restriction, so they are not suitable for motorhomes. Long Ashton Park and Ride, south-west of the city off the A370, has no height restriction and is available for motorhomes. Portwall Lane in Redcliffe and Mardyke Wharf in Hotwells are open-air car parks where motorhomes can sometimes park, with overnight parking available. The Avon Lodge at Third Way in Avonmouth also welcomes motorhomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a campervan hire cost in Bristol?

Campervan hire in Bristol typically starts from around £70 to £110 per night for a compact 2-berth vehicle during low season, rising to £100–£160 for a 4-berth in the shoulder months. Peak summer rates between July and August tend to be higher. On Goboony, you can often find competitively priced campervans from local private owners, which can save you up to 40% compared to traditional hire companies.

Where can I pick up a motorhome near Bristol?

On Goboony, motorhome owners are based across Bristol and the surrounding area, including neighbourhoods such as Clifton, Bedminster, Brislington and South Gloucestershire. When you book, you arrange a pick-up directly with the owner at a convenient location — often their home or a nearby meeting point. This makes getting on the road simple and stress-free.

How can I find cheap campervan or motorhome rental in Bristol?

The best way to keep costs down is to book early and travel outside peak summer months. On Goboony, peer-to-peer hire means prices are set by private owners rather than large fleets, so you often find better value. Filter by your group size, compare vehicles, and look for midweek departures or longer bookings where owners may offer weekly discounts.

What's the best vehicle size for my group?

For couples or solo travellers, a compact 2-berth campervan is easy to drive and park — ideal for exploring Bristol's narrow streets and country lanes. Families with children will be more comfortable in a 4-berth motorhome with a separate sleeping area. Larger groups of five or six should look at 6-berth motorhomes, which offer more living space and storage for longer trips.

Are there dog-friendly campervans and motorhomes for hire near Bristol?

Yes — many Goboony owners welcome well-behaved pets on board. Use the pet-friendly filter when searching to see campervans and motorhomes where dogs are allowed. Several campsites near Bristol, including Brook Lodge Farm and Knights Folly, are also dog-friendly, so your four-legged friend can enjoy the trip as much as you do.
