Why Choose Southampton for Your Campervan Trip?

Southampton — a city worth exploring

Southampton has been a working port for over 2,000 years, and it was from these docks that the RMS Titanic set sail on her maiden voyage in April 1912 — a story told in detail at the SeaCity Museum. The city's medieval walls, among the best preserved in England, lead you past the Bargate, a 12th-century stone gateway that once served as the main entrance to the town. Tudor House and Garden reveals 800 years of history in one timber-framed building, while Solent Sky Museum houses over 20 aircraft including the Supermarine Spitfire, first flown from Southampton in 1936. The Southampton City Art Gallery holds one of the finest collections in southern England.

The New Forest National Park begins just 15 km west, and Winchester Cathedral is only 27 km north. Red Funnel ferries to the Isle of Wight depart from the city centre, and Bournemouth sits 40 km along the coast. These short distances make Southampton a strong base for a campervan trip through Hampshire.

With Goboony, you hire directly from local Southampton owners at peer-to-peer prices with a wide choice of campervans and motorhomes. Many owners offer collection points across the city, from Ocean Village to Eastleigh, so your trip starts where it suits you.

Best time to visit

The Southampton International Boat Show takes over Mayflower Park each September, drawing thousands of visitors across ten days and filling nearby campsites fast. Summer months bring the best weather for exploring the New Forest and catching a ferry to the Isle of Wight. For campervan travellers, booking your Goboony hire 8 to 10 weeks ahead for July and August is wise.

Spring and early autumn bring quieter campsites across Hampshire, lower peer-to-peer rates from local owners, and comfortable driving through the New Forest lanes and South Downs.

A designated oversized vehicle space is available at Harbour Parade long-stay car park near the Isle of Wight ferry terminal.

How much does a campervan hire cost?
