A camper van is a fantastic way to travel, even with kids! It lets you be more spontaneous and puts the outdoors at your doorstep. Campervans allow you to cook your own food and sleep in a bed, sheltered from any weather you might otherwise encounter when camping in a tent. Best of all, campervans are cheaper than a hotel stay and are much more manageable than traveling in a large RV.

Kristen Bor’s top tips for planning a trip in a campervan:

  • If you don’t own one, rent one
  • Download apps to your phone to find free camping spots such as; ​​Dyrt, ioverlander, and All Stays Camp
