If you’ve ever dreamed of hitting the open road with no strict plans and the freedom to stop wherever looks tempting, then a motorhome holiday is hard to beat.

 You can chase the sun, hunt out the best country pubs, or simply park up somewhere scenic and let the kettle do its magic.

The UK is full of incredible places to explore by motorhome, so I’ve put together my top ten spots that are perfect for a road trip.

Whether you’re into rugged mountains, sandy beaches, or postcard villages, there’s something here to inspire your next adventure.

1. The Lake District, Cumbria

The Lake District is a classic, and for good reason. Imagine waking up to mist rising over Windermere or parking with a view of Derwentwater’s shimmering waters. There are loads of motorhome-friendly sites here – Park Cliffe near Windermere is brilliant – and once you’re parked, there are endless hikes, cosy pubs, and boat trips to fill your days. It’s got that perfect mix of wild landscapes and creature comforts, which is why it tops most people’s list.

2. North Coast 500, Scotland

If you want the ultimate road trip, this is it. The North Coast 500 is 516 miles of pure drama, looping around the Scottish Highlands. Think rugged cliffs, turquoise waters, castle ruins, and even the odd golden beach that’ll make you wonder if you’re still in the UK. You can wild camp in spots or book into scenic sites like Sands Caravan and Camping Park in Gairloch. Just be prepared – some of the single-track roads can be a bit hairy, but the views more than make up for it.

3. Cornwall

Cornwall is a motorhome holiday favourite, and it’s easy to see why. From St Ives’ cobbled streets to the foodie delights of Padstow, there’s so much to pack in. Trevedra Farm near Land’s End is one of my top picks – perched right on the cliff with views of the Atlantic. Cornwall’s narrow lanes can test your driving skills, especially in a big motorhome, but the reward is parking up beside a sandy beach and falling asleep to the sound of waves.

4. The Yorkshire Dales

If you like your scenery green and your pubs hearty, the Yorkshire Dales are calling. Hawes is a cracking base, with Hardraw Force waterfall nearby and the Wensleydale Creamery for a cheesy pitstop. Bainbridge Ings Caravan Park is a popular motorhome site and puts you in the heart of the action. The roads here are gentler than Cornwall’s, making it a relaxed drive through villages and rolling hills that feel like stepping into a postcard.

5. Snowdonia, North Wales

Adventure lovers, this one’s for you. Snowdonia National Park is dramatic, rugged, and full of things to do. You could climb Snowdon, zip line across a quarry, or just wander the trails with epic views at every turn. Riverside Touring Park in Betws-y-Coed is a favourite campsite, putting you right in the middle of the action. And after a day outdoors, nothing beats finding a cosy pub for a plate of cawl (a traditional Welsh stew).

6. The Scottish Borders

Often skipped in favour of the Highlands, the Scottish Borders are a brilliant choice if you fancy fewer crowds but just as much charm. Rolling hills, ruined abbeys, and quiet roads make it a dream for motorhome driving. Melrose is a gem of a town with an abbey, shops, and pubs, and Lilliardsedge Holiday Park has everything you’ll need to set up base. Plus, you’re close enough to Edinburgh if you fancy dipping into city life.

7. The Isle of Skye, Scotland

The Isle of Skye feels like another world. From the Fairy Pools to the Old Man of Storr, the landscapes are the stuff of legend. Driving over the Skye Bridge in your motorhome is one of those bucket list moments. Glenbrittle Campsite is perfect if you want to be close to the action. Roads can be narrow and the weather likes to keep you guessing, but the scenery will stay with you forever.

8. The Cotswolds

For something a little gentler, head to the Cotswolds. Honey-coloured cottages, quaint market towns, and rolling hills make it one of the most charming motorhome destinations. Stay at Cotswold View Caravan and Camping Park and spend your days pottering between villages like Bourton-on-the-Water or Stow-on-the-Wold. It’s laid-back, picture-perfect, and full of country pubs where time seems to stand still.

9. The Norfolk Coast

Big skies, endless sands, and colourful beach huts – the Norfolk Coast is a gem. Holkham Beach is one of the most stunning stretches of sand in the UK, while Wells-next-the-Sea has that old-school seaside vibe. Pinewoods Holiday Park puts you right near the dunes, so you can stroll straight from your motorhome onto the beach. Norfolk is also wonderfully flat, which makes driving easy – ideal if you’re new to motorhome life.

10. The Peak District

The Peak District is the all-rounder of UK motorhome destinations. You get dramatic hills, limestone caves, and welcoming villages, all within fairly short driving distances. Castleton is a fantastic base – home to Peveril Castle and Blue John Cavern – and Laneside Caravan Park is a good bet for facilities. It’s central too, making it an easy getaway if you don’t want to drive for hours to find a bit of beauty.
