With 11,073 miles of coastline, the UK has quite a few beaches for visitors on a motorhome rental or campervan hire holiday to discover. Over at Easicampers Wigan we have motorhomes  and campervans to suit all whether you’re planning a last minute break away or a family holiday for availability please give Easicampers Wigan a call on 01942 821080.

Here I have listed a few beaches so you can have a look and see which ones you may want to visit on your break.

Best swimming beach – West Wittering, Sussex.  An award winning Blue Flag beach, West Wittering and its neighbour East Head are hard to beat.  These beautiful sandy beaches are totally unspoiled, and even during the summer holidays its peaceful and relaxing.  The gently shelving beach makes for safe and warm water, great for swimming.

Best walking beach – Holywell Bay, Cornwall.  A short distance from the popular resort of Newquay, Holywell Bay is best visited at low tide where visitors can enjoy a long walk past the 70 year old shipwreck which can be seen just offshore.

Best beach for building sandcastles – Barafundle, Pembrokeshire.  Voted Britain’s best beach by the ‘Good Holiday Guide’, Barafundle is the best beach for kids because the sand is perfect and just the right consistency for making sandcastles.

Best beach for spotting celebrities – Rock, Cornwall.  Just across the estuary from the picturesque fishing village of Padstow, Rock is the place to see, and be seen.  This part of Cornwall is home to the most millionaires, and if you’re lucky you might even bump into Prince’s William and Harry.

Best traditional family beach – Scarborough, North Yorkshire.  Scarborough has been popular holiday resort since the 17th century.  The beaches here are sandy and safe, and there’s lots of room to run about.  What also makes the beaches here popular are the fish and chip shops along the seafront, why not hire a deckchair, tie a handkerchief around you head like they did in the ‘old days’.

Best surfing beach – Fistral Beach, Newquay, Cornwall.  Fistral Beach is the epicentre of UK surfing, and home to the British Surfing Association which hosts the largest surfing event in the country every August.  It’s not just for pro’s, if you want to have a go there are lots of surf shops who run short courses.

The most northerly beach in the UK – Skaw, Shetland Islands.  If you’re into bird watching this is the place to come, the area is home to an amazing amount of gannets, fulmars, petrels, and kittiwakes.  If you’re very lucky you can also see whales, dolphins, and seals too.

Overall most beautiful beach – Calgary Bay, Isle of Mull.  The water may be cold here, but the scenery is outstanding, and when the sun shines it is one of the most beautiful beaches in the UK.  The clear turquoise waters and white sand are perfect for families, it’s never too busy, and it’s just beautiful.

All these beach areas are geared up to visitors with campervan hire or motorhome rental vehicles and the island resorts are easily accessible by regular ferry crossings.

holidays with friends

Looking at going away with friends  this summer then why not hire one of our motorhomes or campervans from wigan Easicampers.

Holidays are fun with friends, but living in the close quarters of a motorhome means getting a long so here are our tips on planning the best group motorhome holiday.

Touring with a group can be difficult as every person will have a different opinion on different aspects of the trip and what one person may love another will hate. So it is important to know how to plan a motorhome or campervan get away in a group and for that reason, here are five ways to be able to make a group motorhome getaway success.

Get the Group Right

A group motorhome holiday needs everybody in the group to love the holiday and all get along and this means taking some time to be able to select the right people for the holiday to ensure that everybody has similar interests and wants. Taking adrenaline junkies, people who love to sit and relax and a city lover all on the same holiday is a recipe for disaster simply as everybody will want different things from the break and may not be willing to try new things. Ensuring you do this step properly should make the rest of the planning process significantly simpler.

Time and Money

Not everybody in the group is going to be able to get the same amount of time and money to put forward to the holiday. Differences in responsibilities at home and in the work place could significantly alter the ability to take a long motorhome holiday and limit some bodies time away. Whilst differences in outgoings, wages and savings could limit people’s budgets for the holidays and in turn prevent them from being able to do something or attend some of the more expensive attractions, or in some cases even limit their time away.

Plan the Route

Planning the route should be a big part of the process as well; you will need to make sure you plan to be able to fit the budgets and time frames that you discussed in the earlier step to be fair on everybody going. Whilst at the same time you will also have to find attractions on the route and around the destination to be able to plan and find things everybody in the group likes. This can be difficult due to the wide range of tastes that your group may be accommodating. However, there is nothing stopping your group splitting into smaller groups when you reach a destination to be able to do different things and make the most of the holiday before meeting up again in the evenings.

Book the Holiday

When you have decided the route and have all of the attractions and budgets, you should begin booking the attractions and campsites in advance to be able to avoid disappointment when you reach your locations. This should be done as early as possible as booking early can often give you some form of discount and in turn make the whole holiday that little bit more economically friendly.

Remember, you’ll also need to book your motorhome with Easicampers wigan and this means that you’ll need to ensure that you have enough room in the motorhome, it has a high enough berth and there’s enough storage to be able to keep all your food and belongings on the motorhome. If you book a viewing with the wigan depot, they will be more than happy to show you around the motorhomes and in turn, you will have a better idea on which motorhome or campervan is best for you.

Wild Camping in the UK

Here at Easicampers wigan we have availability on our 6 berth and 4 berth motorhomes we also have 4 berth vw California’s available to rent from our wigan Preston and Blackburn depots or can deliver on request.

Here I have found some wild camping places in the uk I thought maybe of interest to you if you are thinking of taking a relaxing trip around the uk.

Wild camping in the UK can be one of the most aesthetically rewarding holidays you can take part in, especially in an Easicampers motorhome or campervan. A wide array of smaller activities and rural locations makes for amazing views in a tranquil and relaxing environment. So take a look at our range of amazing British wild camping locations if you want to be able to make the most from your wild camping trip.

Dartmoor

Dartmoor is an amazing national park in the South of England that unlike other locations in England, allows wild camping to a variety of people. Wild camping in Dartmoor is legal and widely available so long as you do not stay in the same spot for more than two consecutative nights (to prevent damage to ground and shadow vegetation.)This wild camping location is fairly unknown by the general public, as the general rule of thumb is that wild camping is only available in Scotland, so in turn there is usually a lack of people wild camping in the area and it’s very easy to find a untouched and tranquil spot to spend the night.

Dartmoor has a warmer climate than any other wild camping locations in the UK due to its southern position and in turn allows more heat. The park its self has a huge amount of small stone built structures such as various bridges and cottages, which all add to the over aesthetic of the national park.

Durness

This is a remote location on the northern coast of Scotland, which boasts a wide range of small lakes and lagoons to be able to camp around and make the most of your trip. With the smaller stereotypical Scottish hamlets in the area boasting true rural Scottish heritage it is certainly worth a visit. The small beaches of Kearvaig and Achiemore offer spectacular views over the ocean and in turn give you something beautiful to wake up to. Whilst at the same time, camping at Balnakeil gives you an amazing blue sea in a remote Scottish bay to wake up to in the mornings, giving you an amazing start to your day.

Isle of Lewis

The Isle of Lewis is one of the more remote islands off the coast of Scotland and in turn boasts one of the most beautiful ethos’ in the whole of the country. Situated in the Outer Hebrides and accessible only by ferry, these islands get very tourist traffic and in turn make for the best holidays if you are looking to escape the crowds. You can get the ferry to this location from Ullapool to Stornoway, which is the biggest settlement on the island, and from their take one of the few roads the island holds to be able to locate the perfect spot for you.

Get in touch with our Edinburgh Campervan Hire team if you are interested in starting your own Scottish adventure!

The best locations on the island to get away from the poor weather are located on the southeast coast of the island. This comes as this coast of the island is less windy than the other due to the rocky outcrop taking the majority of the beating. However, the northwest side of the island has a stronger level of winder and more beautiful oceanic views so it is up to you which one you prefer.

There is an amazing location on the Tobson South beach, which is on the Northwest coastal region of the island and is sheltered from the wind due to its rocky outcrop. This gives amazing views over the smaller islands during the morning and allows you to see the sunrise over the south of the island and the bay.

Galloway Forest

Galloway forest is a Spruce plantation planted in the rural areas of Scotland to be able to preserve the Scottish woodland, it’s very rural nature and remote location earned it a dark skies award due to lack of light pollution due to its rural location. The forest its self covers 300 miles and in turn is one of the largest forested areas in Scotland and can be seen from an array of surrounding mountains. Loch Neldricken and Loch Enoch and a huge load of other lochs sit within the area and in turn, the forested lochs can make for an amazing spectacle on appearances.  If you love any sports such as Mountain biking or Fartleck that require rough and rigid terrain then this could be the perfect location for you with its inclined terrain and heavy density of trees.

Calgary Bay

Calgary bay is a small location on the west coast of Mull, this small in crop boasts amazing views out to see and of the small Gaelic buildings on the island.  There is even a castle looking out over the bay, which adds to the overall image that the bay gives to the beholder and gives yet another attraction to the location. The bay is located 8 miles from Tobermory and has very easy access once you reach the island by ferry. This means that you should have no problems accessing the bay and can easily get there, pitch up and enjoy your motorhome holiday.

Please contact the team over at Easicampers wigan and we will be more than happy to help with your booking  or any further information you require on 01942 77 88 99.

What is your ideal camping trip?

This summer we have been booked out on our motorhomes and met all kinds of motorhome and camper van hirers  along the way from wigan. Whilst you are all unique there are some types of campers that stand out, can you relate to any?

Family Fun Camping

These are our most popular motorhome and campervan hire’s over the summer as the kids are off school for 6 weeks, so we meet lots of people going on family camping holidays.

Families of 3 or up to 6 can hire motorhomes and campervans to suit them, whether planning a UK holiday or traveling over to Europe motorhome camping is a cost effective way to get a great holiday.

Our vw campervans are 4 berth and will seat 4 people traveling.

Motorhome and campervan camping gives families the ability to be flexible and explore, it is a great way to bond as a family as you are away from TV and internet for the majority of time and you get to see remote places or a cheap way to visit popular cities.

Most camp sites are family friendly and have activities for all ages.

Festival Camping

Another popular camping activity over the summer is festival camping, the big festivals like Glastonbury all have motorhome and vw campervan camping available and is a great way to experience the festivals in comfort with toilet facilities on your motorhome.

For festivals we see all types of motorhomes being booked out, from the small motorhomes and vans to the big luxury motorhomes for those who really want to party in style.

As we have motorhomes up to 6 berth and campervans upto 4 berth this is a great way for you and lots of your friends to travel down together and enjoy festivals together with all the mod cons you enjoy.

Luxury Camping

Not everyone likes to rough it, but they do enjoy the outdoors and the experience of camping. The benefits of camping are so much more than roughing it so those of us who like to travel in style and like home comforts then they often opt for our luxury motorhomes

The luxury motorhome we currently have on offer has the best interiors and room to sleep up to 6in the motorhome and 4 in the vw California campervans, but also has ample storage space for lots of luggage or sports equipment like bicycles.

It even has a double L shaped dining area for the best dining experience you could have whilst camping.

Camping with Pets

Pets are part of the family and camping with a motorhome is one way that you can take your pets on holiday. Many dog owners come to us every year to hire out our pet friendly motorhomes.

Taking your dog/pet on holiday can be very rewarding and also save a lot of money on kennel costs if you are planning to be away for a long time (some of our customers like to take the full 6 weeks off travelling around the UK and Europe).

You can take motorhomes to Europe for a real  adventure and camp sites are often very accommodating to dogs and pets. You will need to make sure you have a doggie passport if taking your dog across the channel to mainland Europe.

 Community Camping

This is when campers decide to holiday in a group, you often get group bookings of a few motorhomes and a few families. Some will travel separately and set up together at the campsites, often pitching tents and awnings for more space and more permanent communities.

This can be a really nice way to create a bit of a village away from home and there are plenty of well situated camp sites that have lots of nearby amenities and things to entertain everyone for 2 or 3 weeks.

Sports Camping

We have seen an increase in sports camping this year, couples, friends or families booking motorhomes to travel to sports activities or events.

Sometimes this is as a spectator, such as for the Tour de France or the Euros, but sometimes people book out the motorhomes to take part in a series of events or to travel to activities such as cycling, hiking or climbing.

So which type of camper fits you the best? Do you think we’ve missed any? We would love to hear from you if you have been on any of these trips over at Easicampers wigan.

If you wish to book one of our motorhomes or campervans then please do not hesitate to contact us at wigan Easicampers on 01942 821080 and the team will be happy to help.

photographers hiring a motor home or camper van.

Here at Easicampers motorhome and campervan hire we have a number of new vw California’s and ford zefiro motorhomes on fleet. At Easicampers wigan we have had a few enquires about photographers hiring the motorhomes and campervans to use to travel to places and take some interesting pictures.

Motorhomes have long been used for holidaymakers in the UK to be able to experience the great British countryside. However, what is stopping you using them for your photography hobby or business?

A wide range of photographers use motorhomes or campervans all the time to be able to get out into the rural locations before taking those perfect shots of the wild life. This is simply down to the simple fact that a motorhome has everything that they could possibly need and more when it comes to photography.

Storage Space

All of our motorhomes have a huge level of storage space to be able to fit all of your supplies and equipment, this ranges from shelves and cupboards all the way to the external storage unit to the rear of the motorhome. This means you can bring anything from a camouflage bivvy to tripods or other pieces of equipment as you can easily get it in and out of the storage unit without having the problem of pivoting it around the corner if you were to bring it aboard.

Affordable

If you are an amateur or a professional photographer, then you are not going to want to spend a huge amount of money on your next shoot when you know you can get a luxury experience for less. A hotel, transport and other fees such as meals can all add up to a large sum of money and in turn a Easicampers motorhome and campervan hire  can more often than not save you a huge amount in comparison.

Convenience

Unlike simply getting a nearby hotel or camping at the scene of your shoot in a tent, a motorhome has a wide range of convenience benefits to be able to offer a photographer. These include;

Facilities – The motorhome can offer you a wide range of facilities such as the shower, kitchen area or even the table to be able to work on if you need to do some editing on your laptop. These small additional extras within our motorhomes or campervans can all come together to make a big difference when it comes to staying in the same shooting location for a night or more.

Portable – Your motorhome or campervan  allows you to make all of your hard to carry equipment completely portable as you can simply fit everything you will need into the motorhome before you set off. This means that you do not have to be as strict when leaving your home and studio on what you bring. You can simply pack everything you think you may possibly need and decide when you are at the location as a lot of the time when you pack lightly you realise you needed something you hadn’t brought.

The Journey

Many photographers seem to prefer the motorhome alternative simply because of the journey. If they are heading to Scotland or somewhere else that seems rather distant, then the chances are they will have to cover a lot of land and in turn may find something worth shooting for their portfolio along the way. Just a look at a simple road map or online can reveal a whole load of other smaller shooting locations which you could divert to or fit on your route making the getaway seem even better.

If you would like to make a booking then please do not hesitate to give us a call on 01942 821080 and our team will be happy to help you.

Four of the best campsites

Here at Easicampers Wigan we have the ford zefiro 6 berth Motorhome to hire these have proved very popular with families and we also have the VW Campervan to hire, these have been popular with couples and small families.
Hundreds of campsites open up every year in the UK. All it takes is some spare land and a small investment. So we thought it best to sort through these camp sites and find you some little known tranquil gems to make the most out of the motorhome experience.

Hawkshead Hall
This camp site is based in a small valley with Mountains and cliff faces to one side and pine forests to the other. It accepts motorhomes all year round and has lots to offer locally such as quiet village life or the large array of lakes and valleys within walking distance.
It accepts Motorhomes for 18 pound a night which includes staying the night and an electric hook-up for the Motorhome itself.

Lickisto Black House
Based on the Isle of Skye, it doesn’t get much more stereotypically Scottish than this. The rocky highlands and rolling hills are backed by the North Sea and views of the surrounding islands and the water locked rocky outcrops. If you like tranquillity then this is the best place to go as it is only accessible by ferry. This campsite is truly the closest thing to the stereotypical rural Scotland you will ever find.

Sango Sands
This is one of the most northern campsites on the UK mainland and it accepts Motorhomes. This makes it one of the best places to go in the UK if you want to try and catch a glimpse of the northern lights. There are many reviews claiming how amazing this campsite is and how spectacular the night time and sun set views are.
The northern lights in the night, followed by the misty and foggy mornings of the Scottish highlands, topped with the majestic Kyle of Dourness estuary and rolling Scottish mountains. There is little that could beat this camp site when it comes to scenic and aesthetic appreciation.

Three Cliffs Cove
Overlooking Three Cliffs Cove on the south coast of England, this camp site is for people who truly love a sea view. The cove looks amazing in both the summers sun and even in the winter’s snow and ice with its majestic properties and feel.
The whole area is also covered with smaller hidden beaches within the numerous cliff faces. This makes it perfect for a tranquil holiday hunter who simply wants to relax on a warm beach this summer or take in the brisk air in the winter.
Please give us a call if you require any further information about the Motorhomes or Campervans on 01942 821080.

A motorhome holiday with children

A Motorhome holiday is always fun regardless if it is just you and your friends, your other half or even the whole family. At Easicampers Wigan a lot of families have hired our motorhomes and campervans and they all had a fab time and the kids love the outdoors. However, if you are considering taking the children you need to ensure you are fully prepared for the journey ahead of you and have done everything you can to save you a stressful experience further down the line.

Space
Even though an Easicampers motorhome is always a specious environment for your getaway, bringing little ones requires even more space. This comes as children love to be able to run around, play together and need more storage space for bringing things such as clothing or gadgets. This In turn means that getting a more spacious motor home could work in your benefit, especially when you consider that within a bigger motorhome there are more births to be able to sleep in and you will not have to disturb the furniture when it comes to bedtime. This may seem like a strange benefit but when you consider you will be probably staying up a little later than the children will and they will probably be awake slightly earlier than you will.

Pack Snacks
Little ones can be bribed with snacks very easily and in turn, this can keep them calm on long journeys, in the evening before bed and in a range of other situations. Although it is not the healthiest of options, if it is given to them in small amounts and only every so often, it can be a great way to calm them down and keep them quiet. Children often prefer different foods to adults so packing their favourite foods and packing some more mature food is always a good idea if you want to be able to keep everyone happy, including yourself.

Use a Site
Children love to be able to mingle with other children and in turn, opting for a site over a wild camping experience always works out more beneficial to yourself. A variety of sites come with things such as parks, children’s crèche’, childcare and a whole load of other attractions for the little ones to be able to mingle with other children and have fun. Therefore, opting for this over a normal wild camping experience seems like a no brainer with children.

Book Activities
Booking activities for your child on the getaway is very important as if you do not, you will simply get complaints about boredom and monotony. Try booking things such as stop off locations along the way in various castles or small theme parks to be able to tease the fun nature into the children. There are thousands of small locations across the country that you can visit and spend an hour or two to keep the children happy for a few more hours on the road. Things such as Jump Nation, Water world or Silver Blades Ice Rink can be amazing places to be able to kill a few hours and keep the children quiet for the day.

Organisation
Organisation in a motorhome holiday is key. Things such as planning a few rainy day backups, planning the route and organising the things you pack all require a level of skill and perseverance, as something is bound to go wrong and it is important to know that you’ve planned ahead to prevent it. Remember to plan things such as board games, indoor activity backups such as the cinema, Eden Project, water world and other variations as these activities can go a long way in ensuring the children don’t complain if something falls through due to the British weather.

If you are thinking of taking your children along with you on your motorhome break, then take a look through our range of motorhomes and campervans to be able to select one with sufficient room to be able to suit your needs for your family. Our friendly team at Easicampers Wigan will be more than happy to help you make that decision

If you wish to book or for any further information please do not hesitate to contact the team over at Easicampers wigan on 01942 821080.

Easicampers Campervans

Looking for a break away this summer we still have availability on our VW California campervans at Easicampers Wigan, Preston and Blackburn. I have listed some of the best road trips around Europe to go in you’re Campervan.

Easicampers knows that the best road trips in Europe are something of myth and legend with more and more people heading out to the European coast every year to be able to see what is available. Therefore, it makes sense that we bring you the best VW campervan road trips we could find that allow you to be able to get lost exploring the most beautiful coastal roads in Europe.

Monaco to Genoa – Beautiful Scenery

Monaco to Genoa takes you across the coastline of south east of France over into Italy through the cities of Nice, Toulon and Savona and takes around 3-4 days to complete if you stop along the way to explore. This route sees you follow the north coast of the Mediterranean and in turn is a warm route during the summer months whilst having a chilly climate in the winter months. Well worth visiting if you love warm weather and amazing views.
The view also has a wide variety of small picturesque Italian and French seaside villages for you to be able to overlook from the main road and even pull over to explore in some cases, well worth looking at if you are a lover of south European culture.

Perpignan to Corunna – Mountainous Coast

This is a trip that sees you take to one of the more mountainous regions of Europe through Andorra and over the Pyrenees and along the northern most coast of Spain to the city of Corunna. This in turn sees you take to France, Spain and Andorra all in one trip along two coasts. Although not the entire road trip is on the coastal roads, the majority is and the small amount that is not sees you taken through the breath taking north Spanish mountains as you see views over the snow-capped peaks and the deep snow covered valleys below.

Sicilian Coast – Beautiful Scenery

The Sicilian coast is an amazing location that offers some of the best scenery in the entire world and is located right here in Europe making it very accessible to a wide array of people. You can reach it by heading over to Italy and catching the ferry in your Easicampers Motorhome meaning that you have the chance to be able to enjoy the west coast of Italy on your journey down the coast. Whilst at the same time having the availability of stopping in the Alps for a day to two to be able to explore the natural beauty of this location. Sicily is world famous for its rural nature and beautiful scenery making it well worth the journey when you do the full lap of its coastline.

Scotland – NC500

The NC500 is the British answer to route 66 and has been opened in northern Scotland to be able to give people a taste of Scottish culture. The route starts at Inverness castle, which is a signature point for Scottish culture, and lasts around 516 miles which gives it an impressive length and makes it well worth following if you want to feel the true highland culture. The route its self-follows the entire northern Scotland coast around the highlands and has a huge array of small cafe’s and picturesque villages and hamlets along the route. This in turn makes it amazing if you are looking for a location you can explore this summer.

Bodo to Bergen – Nordic Road

Bodo to Bergen is for the people who are prepared to be able to take the more Nordic and scenic route and to travel on a road trip over the faster and more sunny routes of the south. This route will see you pass through many snow-blanketed valleys and through many mountains, before you reach your destination, which in turn makes it a friend to the hardcore explorer. This road trip can take up to a week depending how much you drive every day so it’s worth taking a look for yourself and shortening it if you need to before undertaking it.

If you are considering any of these campervan getaways then why not take a look through our range of VW California t5s and t6 to see if we have anything that interests you? Please do not hesitate to give the Wigan Easicampers team a call on 01942 821080 or email easirent@wigan.com
