Grayson is our beloved camper van. He is a high spec VW California SE, and sleeps 4. He comes fully equipped for camping with all that is needed is some food, your sleeping and washing kit, clothes and the spirit of creating your own adventures! Located in Bishops Waltham, we are ideally located to explore the South Downs National Park, the New Forest and the cathedral cities of Winchester, Salisbury and Chichester. The Isle of Wight is also only a short ferry ride away, with its beaches, coast path and historic houses such as Osborne House, or Carisbrooke Castle. We can also make recommendations on places to visit, camp, walk, cycle and dine, to get the most out of your trip. 

 Driving 

Grayson is very similar to driving a car, albeit that you are higher up and able to peek over hedges along the way. He has cruise control, parking sensors (front and rear) air conditioning, heated front seats, and fairly economic being a diesel. Entertainment during your journey comes in the shape of a DAB radio with Apple Carplay, bringing access to your telephone, Sat Nav via Apple, Google or Waze maps, Spotify, and the ability to listen to your own music from the telephone (subject to the installation of additional Apps, and mobile data usage). A series of 12v charging points in the rear will allow your passengers to charge their devices too, if they are allowed! 
 Setting up camp is quick and simple. Grayson has an electrically operated roof, a gas stove, and fridge. Sleeping arrangements include a 'double' bed in the roof, with the rear seats folding flat in less than a minute to create a further two spaces downstairs. Grayson is not only limited to taking advantage of the warmer weather, but the integrated heating system allows the van to be used all year long, with temperature control via a key fob or using the controls in the cabin; very cosy!

    Had a brilliant time with my son in Dorset in the van - it's really well kept and everything works exactly as it should. Simon even goes further and has additional items in the van to make your trip really enjoyable. Can't recommend this van or Simon enough. Will definitely be booking again.

    I recently hired Grayson for a trip to Scotland, with my 2 year old. The van itself was in pristine condition, equipped with all the modern amenities which ensured our trip went smoothly. . It drove smoothly, making it easy to navigate through Scotland's winding roads and rugged landscapes. What truly stood out was the freedom it gave us. We were able to explore the Highlands, coastlines, and remote lochs at our own pace, stopping whenever we wanted to soak in the stunning scenery. Waking up to the sound of nature and breathtaking views right outside the window was an unforgettable experience. Simon provided an excellent service, with instructions on how everything worked and helpful tips to ensure we had no problems Overall, hiring this campervan made our Scottish adventure even more memorable. We'll definitely be renting again in the future!
