Frequently asked questions

Is a campervan holiday really as relaxing as everyone says?
In a word: yes. A campervan holiday means total freedom — no fixed hotel bookings, no rigid itineraries. Wake up by the sea, in the countryside or beside a mountain lake. With a fully equipped campervan from Camplify, you have everything you need on board: kitchen, bed, sometimes even a shower. And because you collect directly from the owner, you get personal tips and a vehicle prepared with care.

Campervan & motorhome hire in Plymouth — your gateway to freedom
Break free from the everyday. Hiring a campervan in Plymouth means total freedom. On Camplify, find campervans from local owners — personally handed over, flexibly booked.
Which vehicle is right for you?
Campervans — compact freedom for two
A campervan is the perfect companion for couples seeking flexibility. Compact enough to navigate country lanes, yet equipped with everything you need: a bed, a kitchenette and often a pop-top roof for extra headroom. Pick up from a local owner in Plymouth and you're off.
Motorhomes — space for the whole family
Travelling with children? A motorhome gives you room to breathe. Separate sleeping areas, a proper kitchen and sometimes a shower mean you can keep everyone comfortable — even on rainy days. Many owners equip their vehicles with child-friendly extras.
Larger motorhomes — for grand adventures
Planning a longer trip or travelling with friends? Larger motorhomes offer generous living space, multiple sleeping areas and full facilities. Perfect for road trips to the Scottish Highlands, Cornwall or the Lake District.

Caravans — your home away from home
A caravan gives you a cosy base that stays put while you explore by car. Set up at a campsite, then day-trip to local attractions. Ideal for families who want a fixed base with all the comforts.
Explore Plymouth — before your adventure begins
Picking up your campervan in Plymouth? Take a moment to explore the city first. Before you hit the road, a last wander is well worth it — Plymouth has plenty to offer to build the excitement for the journey ahead.
The Plymouth vibe
Plymouth has the confidence of a city that has always looked outward. The Barbican quarter, with its Elizabethan warehouses and cobbled streets around Sutton Harbour, still carries the energy of a working waterfront. Royal William Yard — a former naval victualling depot — has been repurposed into studios, restaurants, and galleries without losing its imposing Georgian stonework. The Theatre Royal on Royal Parade is the largest and best-attended regional producing theatre in the country. Plymouth is a natural departure point, and spending time here before heading to Dartmoor or Cornwall in a Camplify campervan feels exactly right.
Local food and markets
Plymouth's Pannier Market on Cornwall Street has been trading since the 1850s, offering fresh fish from the morning boats, Devon cream, and locally baked pasties. The Barbican's Jacka Bakery — reputedly the oldest commercial bakery in the country — still turns out sourdough and pastries from its Tudor building. For trip provisions, head to the fish market on the Barbican waterfront where day boats land their catch, or pick up smoked mackerel from Sutton Harbour Smokehouse before loading up your Camplify motorhome.
Parks and green spaces
Plymouth Hoe is the city's signature green space — a wide limestone headland overlooking Plymouth Sound where Drake allegedly finished his game of bowls. Below it, the Tinside Lido's art deco curves sit right at the water's edge. Central Park on the northern side of the city covers over 100 acres of woodland and meadows, while the slopes of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park — reached by a short Cremyll Ferry crossing — offer coastal paths through deer parkland. These spots are well worth exploring before setting off on a campervan trip along the Devon coast.

What's on board?
The best thing about a campervan holiday: everything you need is right there with you. Most vehicles from private owners on Camplify are fully equipped — often with more care and attention than you'd find from a commercial hire company.
Kitchenette with hob, sink and fridge
Comfortable sleeping areas with bedding or sleeping bag option
Shower and WC (on many models)
Camping chairs, table and awning for outdoors
Little extras for an unforgettable experience
Many owners in Plymouth include extras: a coffee maker, Bluetooth speaker, camping crockery or even a bike rack. Check the listing for full details — or message the owner through the Camplify messaging system.
Travelling with pets?
Many Camplify owners welcome dogs and other pets. Use the pet-friendly filter to find vehicles where your four-legged friend is welcome. Some owners even provide dog bowls and blankets.
First time hiring a campervan?
Don't worry — most campervans drive just like a large car. Owners give you a thorough handover and are happy to answer questions. Start with a weekend trip to build your confidence before tackling longer routes.

Whether it's a weekend in the Cotswolds, a week in Cornwall or a grand tour of Scotland — your adventure starts in Plymouth. Browse vehicles from local owners on Camplify and find your perfect match.
