Touring caravan hire in Bakewell, East Midlands. Site delivery or DIY tow, awnings and kit included from £195/week. Free tow-car matching.

If you've been Googling "campervan hire Bakewell" and hitting a wall of shiny websites with no phone number, I understand the frustration. We're a small family operation — you'll usually get me (Andrea) on the phone, and I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone: come and see the van, then decide.

What campervan hire from Bakewell actually looks like

Guests from Bakewell usually plan a loop rather than a straight line, and we'll help you build one. Whether it's the North Coast 500, a west-coast whisky run, or a slower drift through East Midlands, the geography's on your side. Bring the postcode of where you're staying and we'll factor the transfer into your handover time.

Handover takes an hour, sometimes ninety minutes, and I won't rush it. You'll drive the van around our yard before you leave, set up the awning, connect the hook-up, and light the hob, so nothing on your first night is a surprise. Guests from further afield sometimes stay in a local B&B the night before and collect fresh in the morning — I'll happily book them in with someone I trust.

2026 pricing (what it costs, what's included)

We publish real prices. £495 low season, £795 mid, £1,295 peak — one number covers the van, the kit, the insurance, the mileage and the handover. If someone quotes you dramatically less, ask them what's not included; it's usually bedding, gas, insurance excess reduction, and the extra hour on handover, and those four line items add up fast.

Insurance is fully-comp with a £750 standard excess. You can reduce that to zero on the day for a small daily fee, and I'd recommend it for first-time hirers — not because I expect anything to go wrong, but because a low-speed scrape on a single-track passing place shouldn't cost you your deposit and your good mood.

Route advice for guests based near Bakewell

A lot of our best trips are the "boring" ones — three or four nights, one or two campsites, a lot of walking, an early pub dinner. If you're coming from Bakewell, don't feel you have to earn the trip by clocking miles. The van earns its keep sitting still with a view, too.

The easiest next step from Bakewell is a five-minute call. I'll ask a couple of questions — dates, party size, where you fancy — and tell you which van fits and whether the dates are wide open or getting tight. No pressure, no upsell, and if we can't help I'll point you to someone honest who can.
