The Ultimate Yorkshire Campervan Road Trip from Leeds
Updated: Aug 24
Looking for campervan hire in Leeds for your next adventure? You don't need to travel far to experience some of the UK's most beautiful countryside and coastline.
Pick up your Vesper campervan in Leeds and within a couple of hours, you could be exploring the Yorkshire Dales, driving across the North York Moors or enjoying fish and chips on the coast.
Here's our idea for the perfect 3-day Yorkshire campervan road trip.
Day 1: Leeds to the Yorkshire Dales
Start your adventure by heading west from Leeds towards the Yorkshire Dales.
Your first stop could be Bolton Abbey, where you can stretch your legs with a riverside walk before continuing towards Grassington.
Take some time to explore the village, grab a coffee and enjoy the surrounding countryside.
From Grassington, head to Malham, home to the famous Malham Cove. It's one of Yorkshire's most spectacular landscapes and a brilliant place for a walk.
After a day exploring, find your campsite, cook some dinner and settle into your Vesper campervan for the evening.
Tip: If you're bringing your dog, the Yorkshire Dales are perfect for a dog-friendly campervan adventure, with plenty of walking routes to enjoy.
Day 2: North York Moors and Whitby
After breakfast, head east towards the North York Moors. The journey itself is part of the adventure, with open moorland, winding roads and fantastic Yorkshire views. Stop in Helmsley for lunch before continuing towards the coast.
Afternoon in Whitby
Arrive in Whitby and spend the afternoon exploring the harbour, wandering through the old streets and climbing the famous steps towards Whitby Abbey.
And, of course, no trip to Whitby would be complete without some traditional fish and chips.
There are plenty of campsites around the Yorkshire coast where you can spend the night before heading home the following day.
Day 3: Robin Hood's Bay and Home
Before heading back to Leeds, make your way along the coast to Robin Hood's Bay.
Explore the village, walk down to the beach and enjoy a final Yorkshire coastal walk.
If you've got time, take the scenic route home and stop at a country pub for lunch.
That's the beauty of campervan hire in Yorkshire — you're not tied to a strict itinerary. If you find somewhere you love, stay a little longer.
