Motorhome Adventures in 2025: Guides, Tips, and Legal Rules for UK Campers

When you think of a motorhome, a self-contained vehicle designed for travel and overnight stays, often used for road trips and outdoor adventures. Also known as a campervan, it gives you the freedom to sleep, cook, and explore without booking hotels. Whether you’re renting one for the weekend or planning to live on the road, knowing the rules, costs, and safest spots makes all the difference.

Many people wonder if wild camping in the UK is allowed — and the answer isn’t simple. Wild camping, the practice of pitching a tent or parking a motorhome in remote areas without official permission. Also known as free camping, it’s legal in parts of Scotland but restricted elsewhere. In England and Wales, you need landowner permission, but many still do it responsibly. The posts from this period cover exactly where you can do it safely, what gear you need, and how to avoid fines. Then there’s beach camping, setting up camp directly on sandy shores, often without facilities. Also known as coastal camping, it’s popular but tightly regulated. You can’t just roll up with a tent at Carolina Beach or Edisto Beach — alcohol, fires, and overnight stays are often banned. These posts break down the real rules, not just the myths.

And it’s not just about where you sleep. RV living cost, the total expense of owning or renting a motorhome, including fuel, insurance, site fees, and maintenance.

Safety matters too. Camping safety, the practices and gear needed to avoid danger while sleeping outdoors, whether alone or with family.

Why do some motorhomes hold their value while others crash? These aren’t random posts — they’re the real questions people ask before hitting the road in 2025. Whether you’re new to motorhoming or you’ve been doing it for years, this collection cuts through the noise. No fluff. No guesswork. Just what you need to know before you pack up and go.
