Choosing the best motorhome road trips and holidays in Europe
There is nothing quite like loading the motorhome, topping up the fuel, and rolling away from the drive with a loose plan and a long list of places to see. The best motorhome road trips are a mix of big scenery and simple moments, like morning coffee by a quiet lake or sharing stories with new friends.
After more than 16 years of touring, including five years full-time on the road and over 100,000 miles travelled, we now pour that experience into fully escorted self-drive tours so you can enjoy the best motorhome holidays without worrying about the logistics. These really are some of the best motorhome trips you can take from the UK into Europe.

How to choose the best motorhome trips for you
With so many routes and ideas online, choosing the best motorhome road trips can feel overwhelming. Across Europe, motorhomes now account for just over half of the recreational vehicle market, showing how popular this style of travel has become.In the UK and Europe, millions of nights are now spent on campsites and motorhome parks every year, so there is no shortage of choice.
A great trip usually comes down to a few key ingredients:
Scenery and must‑see stops
Do you want fjords, wine regions, medieval cities or golden beaches? The right route should line up with the views and experiences you are really excited about.Comfortable driving distances
The best motorhome holidays avoid endless motorway days. Our tours are built around sensible daily mileages and plenty of multi-night stops, so you are not always packing up and moving on.Season and weather
Norway and the Baltics shine in late spring and summer. And other countries are perfect when you would rather swap British drizzle for winter sun.Social side of the holiday
Some people want quiet nights, others love shared BBQs, quiz nights and day trips with like‑minded travellers. Our fully escorted self-drive tours are deliberately sociable, with small groups and tour directors on hand, so you never feel on your own unless you choose to be.
For a first big motorhome road trip, many guests find three to four weeks ideal. That gives you time to travel at a relaxed pace, build in rest days and really get to know each region. Travelling independently can be rewarding, but it also means hours of planning routes, checking campsite reviews and juggling ferry times. Our escorted motorhome tours shortcut all of that, with itineraries, routes and excursions pre-planned and tested so you can simply turn the key and enjoy the journey.

FAQs about the best motorhome road trips
How much driving is there on a typical Motorhome Tours holiday?
Our tours are designed around scenic but sensible driving. Many days involve only a few hours on the road, and we build in regular multi-night stops so you can explore locally or rest without moving the motorhome every day. Daily mileages and total tour distances are shared in advance on each itinerary so you know exactly what to expect.
Are these the best motorhome holidays for first-time European travellers?
They are ideal if you have not taken your motorhome abroad before. Routes, timings and campsites are all pre-tested, crossings are arranged for you, and tour directors are on hand to help with local rules, tolls and practical questions. Many guests on our Norway and Spain tours have been abroad for the first time and comment on how much confidence they gained by travelling in a group.
Can we bring our dog on these motorhome trips?
Yes, several of our best motorhome road trips are dog friendly, including our Italy Motorhome Experience, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic and our Bonterra Christmas rallies. Any restrictions, such as rules on public transport or certain excursions, are clearly marked on the relevant tour pages so you can plan around them.
What is included in the price of an escorted motorhome holiday?
Prices for organised tours with us currently start from around £897.50 per person for journeys of three to five weeks. The cost generally includes campsite fees, ferry crossings where required, guided excursions, selected group meals, professional tour director support, a detailed itinerary app, a welcome pack and Google Maps links. Independent travellers usually pay similar amounts for fuel, pitches and tickets, but without the benefit of pre-arranged logistics and expert support.
How far in advance should we book popular tours like Norway or Christmas in Spain?
Group sizes are deliberately limited so that sites feel friendly and tour directors can give each motorhome proper attention. For big bucket list routes such as Norway or our Bonterra Christmas Rally, it is wise to secure your place months in advance, particularly if you are tied to specific dates or travelling with friends.
