Nothing beats a chill campervan trip around a country – it’s the only way to truly take in the scenery. Campervan travel is also extremely affordable if you budget correctly and don’t need a lot of amenities. It also offers you the freedom and flexibility to plan your own trips, allowing you to detour if you want and travel at your own (not literally because if you get caught driving at 50 in a 100 zone, you’ll be in trouble).

1. New Zealand

A popular destination for backpackers, New Zealand has a steady campervan traveling business. Meaning you won’t have to look too far or hard to find a place that will let you rent a vehicle. Pristine beaches, stunning natural views and plenty of outdoor adventure experiences for you to join in on, New Zealand has everything to offer.

Spend your days driving along a scenic coastline, stopping to bungee jump, before winding down and camping wherever you’d like (provided your at least 15km from the nearest town and don’t park on the public highway).

2. Australia

Australia is known for its scenic drives, as well as its off-road outback drives which allow yourself to drive alongside the occasional kangaroo or emu if you’re lucky. Camper trailers are a classic option when it comes to choosing your mode of living while on your road trip, with renting and buying options for you to choose from.

There are plenty of holiday parks for you to choose from, with many having hotel-level amenities and pools so you can relax and wind down after a long day of driving. Pick from driving along the Great Ocean Road or a scenic road from Adelaide to Darwin and passing Uluru along the way.

3. USA

Route 66 – one of the most recognizable and famous highways in the USA, these highways cuts right across the heart of America. Running between California and Chicago, this route will take you through 7 states while passing through some of the biggest natural and man-made landmarks in the country.

Holiday parks are everywhere along the route and in general throughout the country. With the sheer amount of states in the USA alone, there is more than enough for you to do if you choose to road trip in the USA.

4. Canada

If you’re already road tripping in the USA, you may as well combine a road trip in Canada as well at the end of your US trip. Canada is full of amazing nature with vast wilderness covering a large area of the country. Natural landmarks include the Rockies, the Ice Caves, and Mount Asgard.

5. Europe

Another hugely popular backpacking destination, Europe is an easy road trip destination. It’ll also be one of the cheapest ways you’ll be able to visit multiple countries in one trip.

A popular road trip route is one that crosses across the northern European countries including cities like Amsterdam, Bruges Prague, and Munich along the way.

6. Argentina

If you plan to road trip anywhere in South America, Argentina is the ultimate destination. With breathtakingly gorgeous beaches while you to cruise along and a myriad of national parks for you to visit, Argentina is the hidden gem of South America.

It’s also extremely easy to visit as the highways are easy to navigate, the national parks have modern facilities and there are campsites which have electricity – it’s convenient married with nature.

7. Norway

Those who love campervanning throughout New Zealand will also enjoy this Scandinavian country. Just like New Zealand, Norway is home to absolute greenery and tranquil lakes, offering total relaxation.

There is roughly 20,000 km worth of coastline for you to explore with incredible fjords, lakes, and glaciers that can only be reached by car.

If you’re lucky, you may even camp under the Northern Lights.

Before leaving on your campervan adventure, never forget to pack your trip essentials. Other than the usual items, like food, water, clothes, and toiletries, you should have emergency kits for different situations. This includes a first-aid kit, survival kit, auto repair tools, and backup parts.

Being on the road 24/7 can be rough on your vehicle. Prepare replacement car accessories, like car seat covers and car mats, to have something to change to when the ones you have to get dirty. Consider investing in custom car mats and accessories to ensure the best fit and better protection from the mess.

If you’re traveling with your pet(s), prepare a durable, waterproof dog car seat cover to protect your vehicle from scratches, fur, and dog slobber. You should also bring a car cleaning kit because adventures, especially with pets, almost always end in the mess (and a ton of fun and excitement).
