Top tips for your Campervan trip to Birmingham

The best time to rent a motorhome in  Birmingham is between May and September. The weather will be warm during these months, and all the surrounding campsites will be open. Spring and Autumn are also good if you don’t mind colder weather, but you benefit from fewer crowds.

Since the pandemic, the UK has gone a bit campervan crazy, so we recommend booking way ahead of time to get the campervan you want. Birmingham is a very popular pickup place due to its central location.

  Driving in Birmingham
  If you come from abroad, the number one thing to remember when you rent a campervan in Birmingham is that they drive on the left-hand side of the UK. Most roads are well-signposted, and Birmingham has an excellent motorway network, which makes getting out of the city easy.
• 

  The Outdoors
  While Birmingham is a big city, theres are plenty of outdoor places just outside the city centre. The Malvern Hills are an hour's drive away, with walks available for all abilities and campsites nearby. Cannock Chase is an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that is great for a day outdoors, and the Shropshire hills are perfect for exploring in a campervan.
• 

  Family Friendly Activities
  There is no shortage of family-friendly things to do on your Birmingham campervan adventure. Warwick Castle is a great day out. West Midland Safari Park is an hour away, and plenty of National Trust sites within an hour's drive of Birmingham, such as Packwood House and Baddesley.

Best campervan routes in Birmingham

Birmingham to Snowdonia
Snowdonia is at the top of our list, an area made for campervans. The drive from Birmingham is around 120 miles. You could stop at places such as Shrewsbury (a lovely old market town) and Llangollen. Once in Snowdonia, you can hike up Mount Snowdon (the tallest mountain in Wales) or explore some of the little villages. Theres are plenty of campsites in the area.

Birmingham to the Lake District
No trip to the UK would be complete without heading to the Lake District. The drive is about 150 miles, and you can take the M6 straight out of Birmingham to get there. You will find plenty of lakes (hence the name), more mountains than you could wish for and lovely quintessential English towns. You could easily spend months in the Lake District and not get a chance to see it all. Our tip would be to head to less visited areas such as Haweswater and Kenmere. Parking will be easier, and you will explore places not everyone goes to.

Birmingham to Cornwall
Do you ever see those pictures in the UK that look like the Caribbean? Well, it's Cornwall, probably one of the nicest places in the UK. The journey to get here is about 200 miles long. You could extend the drive here as you pass through the county of Devon, which is equally as beautiful as Cornwall. Once in Cornwall, some of the best places to visit are St Ives, Padstow and the Eden Project. A word of warning though: Cornwall can be extremely busy during July and August.

Sites of interest and excursions in Birmingham

The Cotswolds
The Cotswolds are only an hour's drive from where you can pick up your motorhome rental in Birmingham. If you have ever seen a postcard of the most perfect English village, then the chances are it was taken somewhere in the Cotswolds. Bourton-on-the-Water and Chipping Campden are great places to stop at in your campervan. This could be an area you call at while travelling south.

Ironbridge Gorge
Just 40 miles outside of Birmingham is Ironbridge Gorge. As the name suggests, it's famous for its Iron Bridge (it was the world's first). It’s an excellent place for a history fan, as several museums showcase the area's industrial history.

The Peak District
The Peak District is stunning and popular for those who choose campervan hire in Birmingham. We didn’t include it in our road trip section as it's a bit too close to be called a road trip, but as it's so close, it's an area we recommend you visit on your campervan trip. Some of the best things to do here are to visit Chatsworth House or head to Bakewell to try the original Bakewell Tarts.
