Quiet countryside and easy-going routes

Campervan hire for exploring Oxfordshire

Oxfordshire is often overlooked in favour of bigger-name regions, but it works very well for a campervan trip. It offers a mix of countryside, riverside routes and traditional villages without the crowds you’ll find elsewhere.

Why choose Oxfordshire for a campervan holiday?

Oxfordshire has plenty of scenic driving without long distances between stops. Roads are generally manageable, and there’s a good balance between countryside and small towns. It’s a good option if you enjoy discovering places that aren’t always on the main tourist trail.

Many routes run along the edge of the Cotswolds, giving you countryside views without the busiest village centres.

Why Oxfordshire works well for a campervan trip

Oxfordshire is a good choice for campervan travel if you’re looking for quieter routes, manageable distances and a more relaxed pace. It offers plenty to explore without the crowds found in some neighbouring regions. Some of the main reasons people choose Oxfordshire include:
  • Calmer roads suited to relaxed driving – Much of Oxfordshire is made up of rural roads and countryside routes that suit slower, more comfortable campervan travel.

  • Short, flexible driving days – Towns, villages and countryside areas are close together, meaning you can explore without long stretches behind the wheel.

  • Less crowded than nearby destinations – Away from the city itself, Oxfordshire tends to be quieter than surrounding regions, making it appealing if you prefer a calmer road trip.

  • Easy to combine with other regions – Oxfordshire works well as part of a wider route, linking easily with the Cotswolds, Wiltshire and other parts of southern England.

  • A good balance of scenery and simplicity – The county offers countryside, villages and scenic routes without the need for complicated planning or constant changes of location.
