Motorhome Prices, Camping Fees and RV Costs in Nottingham

If you’re planning a motorhome trip around Nottinghamshire, the first thing on your mind is likely the price tag. How much does a VW campervan cost per week? What are the campsite fees near Sherwood Forest? Will full‑time RV living save you money compared to a traditional house? This page pulls together the most useful cost‑related articles on our site so you can answer those questions fast.

Hire Rates – What You’ll Pay to Hit the Road

Motorhome hire prices vary by model, season and location. Our guide on VW campervan hire cost breaks down weekly rates, hidden charges and the best deals you can snag in Dublin and nearby UK towns. In general, expect a compact van to start around £150‑£200 per week in off‑peak months, while larger motorhomes can climb to £300‑£400.

Want to stretch your budget? Look for early‑bird discounts, off‑season specials, or booking directly with local hire firms instead of big chains. Many owners also offer mileage‑free deals, which saves you from surprise per‑mile fees.

Campsite Fees – How Much Is a Night in the Great Outdoors?

Campsite costs in Nottinghamshire range from £10 for a basic pitch with no electricity to £30‑£40 for a full‑hookup spot near popular attractions like the River Trent. Our article on Lake Manatee camping costs shows how to compare state‑park fees, and the same principles apply here: check if the site includes water, waste disposal and Wi‑Fi before you book.

For wild‑camping fans, remember the UK “33/38 rule” that governs electric hook‑ups at some sites – it can affect the price you pay for electricity. If you’re okay with a more rustic experience, the 2‑2‑2 rule offers a simple way to pick free‑parking spots that stay under the radar.

Don’t forget extra costs like waste‑dump fees (usually £5‑£10 per visit) and optional services such as bike rentals or pet-friendly areas. Adding these small extras up front helps you avoid nasty surprises at checkout.

Finally, if you’re thinking about living full‑time in your motorhome, our deep dive on full‑time RVing affordability in 2025 shows a realistic monthly budget. In the UK, a typical full‑time lifestyle might cost £800‑£1,200 per month, covering hire, insurance, fuel, campsite fees and a modest food budget. Compare that with a one‑bedroom apartment in Nottingham, which can run £900‑£1,200, and you’ll see where the savings (or extra costs) really lie.

Use these guides to map out your own cost plan, calculate a daily budget, and decide whether a short road‑trip or a year‑long adventure fits your wallet. The right price info makes the difference between a stress‑free holiday and a budget nightmare.
