Why Choose Bristol for Your Campervan Trip?

Bristol — a city worth exploring

Bristol's SS Great Britain, launched in 1843, was the first iron-hulled, propeller-driven ship to cross the Atlantic and still sits in the city's original Great Western Dockyard today. From this historic harbour, Bristol unfolds as a place where maritime heritage meets creative energy. The Clifton Suspension Bridge, with its 214-metre span across the Avon Gorge, is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the south-west, while Banksy's street art trails through Stokes Croft have turned Bristol into a global capital of urban art. The Bristol Museum & Art Gallery and M Shed on the harbourside both offer free entry to collections covering natural history, local stories and contemporary culture.

Bath is just 18 km south-east, making it an easy day trip by campervan, and the dramatic Cheddar Gorge sits 47 km south in the Mendip Hills. Those Mendip lanes and rolling Somerset roads suit smaller vehicles, so picking the right motorhome for your group makes a real difference here.

With Goboony, you hire directly from local Bristol owners, giving you peer-to-peer prices and a wide choice of campervans. Many owners offer flexible collection points around the city, from Clifton to Southville, so your trip starts exactly where it suits you.

Best time to visit

The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta in August draws over 100,000 visitors across three days, and campsites within an hour of the city fill up fast. The Harbour Festival each July turns the waterfront into a free music and arts weekend well worth planning around. For campervan travellers, booking your Goboony hire 8 to 10 weeks ahead for summer is wise.

Spring and early autumn bring quieter Bristol campsites, lower peer-to-peer rates from local owners, and comfortable driving through the Mendip Hills and Somerset lanes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a campervan hire cost?

Campervan hire near Bristol typically costs £70 to £160 per night depending on vehicle size and season. A 2-berth starts around £70, while a 4 to 6-berth motorhome runs £120 to £160 in peak summer. On Goboony, you hire from private owners at peer-to-peer prices, which often works out lower than traditional rental companies. Booking outside July and August can save you 20 to 30 per cent.

Where can I pick up a motorhome near Bristol?

Goboony owners offer pick-up points across Bristol and the surrounding area. Popular collection spots include Clifton, Southville and Harbourside, along with Filton, Keynsham and Long Ashton further out. Each owner sets their own location, so you can filter results by area when searching. You can often find a motorhome or campervan close to wherever you are staying in Bristol.

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

The easiest way is to compare listings on Goboony, where Bristol owners set their own prices. Travelling in spring or early autumn cuts costs, as peak summer rates are higher. Mid-week trips often cost less than weekend hires, and longer bookings of seven days or more usually come with a lower nightly rate. Check for owners offering last-minute deals for the best campervan savings near Bristol.

What's the best vehicle size for my group?

For couples, a 2-berth campervan is easy to park and drive on Bristol's narrower streets. Families of four suit a 4-berth motorhome with a kitchen, shower and separate sleeping areas. Groups of five or six should look at 6-berth models with more living space. On Goboony, filter by berth count and trip dates to find the right vehicle for your Bristol adventure in just a few clicks.

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

Yes, many Goboony owners near Bristol welcome dogs in their campervans and motorhomes. Around half of listings are pet-friendly, though each owner's policy on dog numbers and size varies. Bristol is a great base for dog-friendly trips, with Leigh Woods, the Mendip Hills and the Somerset coast all within easy reach by campervan. Check each listing's pet policy and look for vehicles with easy-clean flooring.
