Where Can Your Converted Campervan Take You In 2026?

The best thing about a campervan conversion is that you can enjoy great luxury while travelling in some very remote areas, often places where there are few accommodation options or the ones that exist are not conveniently located for the places you want to go.

With a New Year not far off, this could be a time to make a resolution to get such a conversion and target some remote spots you may not have been able to visit before.

A poptop provides extra sleeping space and, because it means there is more room overall in your van, you can take more supplies with you and have extra room for creature comforts.

Examples of where you could go include:

·       Remote parts of the fringes of national parks 

·       Notable peaks and rural spots off the beaten path, away from national parks

·       Longer distance road trips where you can make spontaneous decisions about where to stop overnight

There are many great options you could enjoy in any of these ways.

What Remote Rural Places Could You Take A Converted Campervan To?

For example, visiting areas around the fringe of the Lake District could help you to bag some of the more inaccessible Wainwright Fells, or move on to his ‘outlying fells’ list. You could also use it to bag remote Scottish Munros, Corbetts and Grahams.

Scotland has a lot of very remote areas that are far from any town or city, while there are even a few locations in England and Wales like this. For instance, you could try the remote North Pennines, which include Cross Fell, the highest peak in England outside a national park.

There are some epic road trips you can enjoy, with perhaps the best being the North Coast 500 at the top end of Scotland. The route does include towns where you could stay in hotels, such as Inverness, Wick, John O’Groats and Ullapool, but a converted camper van allows you to enjoy a cosy stay at any point on the route where you can pull over, at any time.

Of course, you don’t have to aim at wild northern uplands. You could drive around the Midlands or even the Downs in the south, stopping where you like and enjoying the freedom of taking your accommodation with you.

With a campervan conversion, 2026 could be a year of some great adventures.
