Why Choose Cambridge for Your Campervan Trip?

Cambridge — a city worth exploring

The University of Cambridge, founded in 1209, is the second-oldest in the English-speaking world — and its 31 colleges still shape the city today. King's College Chapel, completed in 1544 after nearly a century of construction, holds the world's largest fan-vaulted ceiling and hosts the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols each Christmas Eve. The Fitzwilliam Museum shows over half a million works from Egyptian antiquities to Impressionist paintings, with free entry. Kettle's Yard offers art in a former family home, and climbing Great St Mary's Church tower gives wide views across the rooftops. On the River Cam, punting past The Backs shows you Trinity, Clare and King's from the water.

Ely and its cathedral sit 25 km north, Norwich is 100 km north-east along the A11, and the Norfolk coast at Wells-next-the-Sea is 120 km away — a comfortable day trip by campervan. Newmarket, the home of British horse racing, is only 22 km east along quiet country roads.

With Goboony, you hire directly from local Cambridge owners at peer-to-peer prices, choosing from a range of campervans and motorhomes. Many owners offer collection points around the city and surrounding villages, so your trip starts right where you need it.

Best time to visit

Strawberry Fair on Midsummer Common in early June is a free, volunteer-run festival drawing thousands for live music and food stalls — book your campervan early. The Cambridge Folk Festival at Cherry Hinton Hall in late July and early August brings headline acts to an intimate outdoor setting. For campervan travellers, booking your Goboony hire 8 to 10 weeks ahead for summer is wise.

Spring and early autumn bring quieter campsites around Cambridgeshire, lower peer-to-peer rates from local owners, and easy driving through the flat Fenland roads — ideal for larger motorhomes.

Where to park your RV

Cambridge city centre has tight streets and limited parking for larger vehicles. The Park and Ride sites at Trumpington, Madingley Road and Milton Road accept motorhomes during the day — Trumpington has a dedicated area with no height restriction (use the second entrance and press the intercom). Overnight parking is not permitted at Park and Ride sites. For overnight stays, use a campsite instead.
