From City to Coast – A Weekend Getaway in a VW Campervan
There’s something special about escaping the buzz of city life, trading concrete for coastline, and letting the open road guide your weekend. And what better way to do it than in a VW campervan?
At Custom Design Campervans, we believe that freedom comes on four wheels—with character, charm, and a touch of retro style. Whether you’re the proud owner of a converted VW camper or dreaming about your first road trip in one, here’s what makes a weekend getaway in a VW campervan truly unforgettable.
Friday: Pack Light, Drive Far
Unlike bulky motorhomes, a VW campervan is made for maneuverability. No stress squeezing through narrow streets or hunting for massive parking spaces. Just pack your essentials—sleeping bags, snacks, a couple of cozy jumpers—and hit the road. Whether you’re leaving from the heart of London or the suburbs of Manchester, you can be on the coast within a few hours, chasing the sunset with the windows down and your playlist up.
Saturday: Wake Up by the Waves
There’s no hotel check-in, no crowded lobbies. Just wake up to the sound of seagulls and the smell of sea air. Many of our customers head straight for spots like Devon and Cornwall, Northumberland, or the Welsh coastline—where cliff-top views and beachside pitches are made for VW campers.
Your campervan is your bed, your kitchen, and your morning coffee nook all in one. Brew a fresh cup with the rear door swung open to the view. Make breakfast with everything you need within arm’s reach. It’s minimal, it’s practical—and it’s real freedom.
Sunday: Take the Slow Road Back
The return journey isn’t a chore. It’s part of the adventure. With your VW campervan, you can stop wherever curiosity leads: a roadside farm shop, a forest walk, or a hidden cove you spotted on the way down. It’s not about rushing home; it’s about enjoying every mile.
Plus, our custom VW campervan conversions are designed to make the most of your space. With clever storage, integrated tech, and thoughtfully laid-out interiors, you’ll wonder why you ever considered a bulky motorhome.
Why VW Campervans Make the Best Weekend Companions
At Custom Design Campervans, we’re passionate about the VW campervan lifestyle—compact, classic, and endlessly customisable. Whether you’re looking to buy a ready-to-go van or convert your own, we build campers that match your needs without compromising on style or function.
Unlike large motorhomes, VW campers offer a more connected, agile travel experience. They’re just as comfortable in a city car park as they are beside a windswept cliff. And best of all? They make every weekend feel like a mini holiday.
