Route planner
Enter your van's height, width and weight — get a route that avoids mapped low bridges and limits, with fuel, water and stopovers along the way.
🌙
Overnight stopovers
Legal places to stay the night — aires and designated car parks, community-checked, with water, waste and LPG layers on the map.
🛣️
Road trips
The NC500, the Causeway Coast and more — stage-by-stage routes with stays, live traffic links and the cheapest diesel en route.
📏
Rules, plainly
Towing speed limits, what your licence allows, size limits and where overnighting is actually legal.
Don't own one yet? Hire for the trip
Everything on this page works just as well in a hired van. CamperDays compares hire depots across the UK — useful for a first trip, or a bigger van than your own for a family summer.
We may earn a commission if you hire through these links — it never changes your price, and we don't rank depots for money.
Pitches & van-ready stays
Proper sites for when you want hook-ups, showers and a level pitch.
Trips worth the diesel
