Quirky Campers is a family business run by husband and wife team David and Lindsay. They started in 2010 by renting out their gorgeous campervan, Bella, while volunteering in Kenya for six months. Running rentals from Africa, they were amazed at how much interest the lovely Bella got and on their return they slowly started to build their business. Today they help a collective of British campervan owners, each with a unique and handcrafted vehicle, rent out their vans to other happy campers.
All of the van fit-outs make heavy use of natural and reclaimed materials and come stocked with eco-cleaning products, and some even have solar panels and run on biodiesel.
The quirky handcrafted campervans have been on over 500 adventures with their temporary masters, and there’s a van for everyone, whether you prefer rustic romance, retro kitsch, festival cool or family fun in a fairy bus.
I’ve picked out four of my favorite campervans, but there are many more to choose from on Quirky Campers’ website
Saffiyah
Saffiyah’s interior is stylishly executed industrial chic. She is all chunky copper fittings, exposed pipework, and distressed pallet wood.
The charming vehicle also boasts a generous kitchen, a 3-ring stove, a spacious fridge, and a large table and bench seating for 6.
There’s plenty of room for two adults and two children, plus a fully equipped kitchen, fixed bed and seating, solar powered electrics, gas heater for evenings, and a white sail canopy to extend the living space still further. Learn more here
With her clean lines and elegant styling, Mo’s skandi-style, and fresh interior wouldn’t be out of place in a Copenhagen apartment. As it is, she is an ingeniously designed and masterfully executed campervan with room for up to five adults.
She is ideal for families and groups of friends alike, or with the simple removal of the top bed, ideal for couples too. A lot of love has gone into her details, from the vintage china teacups to the artwork on the walls to the brass piano hinges on cupboard doors.
The clever design creates space for ample storage and includes zone lighting and handy fold-down shelves. Best of all, with both beds full width and 6 feet or more in length, even the tallest campers can sleep in comfort. Learn more here
Maggie’s owner is a keen climber, skier, and surfer and he’s converted Maggie with plenty of storage that’s cleverly hidden away, so there’s room to enjoy the generous kitchen with its full-size fridge, stainless steel hob, and butler-style sink, without having to climb over bikes or boards.
Honeybee is a truly original conversion. Inspired by her black and yellow exterior, and a love of bees, her owners created a campervan that is befitting of a queen.
Honeybee is an eco-conscious choice, utilizing recycled materials and organic sheep’s wool insulation, while her powerful sound system, sockets, lights, and fridge are all powered by the sun’s rays. Learn more here
