Motorhome Hire in Derbyshire
Home to the Peak District, Chatsworth House, Bakewell, Dovedale, and some of the finest walking in England. 2, 4 and 6 berth Elddis motorhomes from £135 per night, fully insured.
Discover Derbyshire
Derbyshire sits immediately south of our Pontefract depot, with the M1 putting Chesterfield within 50 minutes and Bakewell within just over an hour. The county is home to the Peak District, the first national park designated in the UK, and it contains two distinct landscapes - the limestone dales of the White Peak and the gritstone edges of the Dark Peak. Motorhome hire in Derbyshire opens up Chatsworth, Dovedale, Kinder Scout, and some of the finest walking country in England.
Chatsworth, Bakewell, and the White Peak
Chatsworth House is one of the grandest country houses in England, with parkland by Capability Brown along the River Derwent, an extraordinary art collection, and gardens that draw visitors year-round. The farmyard and adventure playground make it a superb family day out. Nearby Haddon Hall is a remarkably preserved medieval manor house. Bakewell, the only town within the Peak District National Park, has its famous pudding (not tart), a medieval bridge, and a Monday market. The Monsal Trail along a former railway line through limestone scenery and tunnels offers some of the finest views in the Peak District.
Matlock Bath, Buxton, and Castleton
Matlock Bath has the atmosphere of an Alpine resort - Victorian promenade, cable car to the Heights of Abraham, and High Tor offering dramatic river gorge views. Cromford Mills nearby is a UNESCO World Heritage Site marking the birthplace of the factory system. Buxton, the highest market town in England, has Georgian architecture, the restored Opera House, and Pavilion Gardens. Castleton at the head of the Hope Valley has four show caves, Peveril Castle, and the rare Blue John stone. For couples, a weekend touring the White Peak villages by motorhome is one of the most rewarding short breaks in England.
Walking and Cycling
Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District, was the site of the 1932 mass trespass that helped secure the right to roam. The Pennine Way begins at Edale just below. Dovedale with its stepping stones and towering limestone pillars is one of the most popular walks in the country. The Tissington Trail and High Peak Trail offer gentler routes along former railway lines. Stanage Edge, Curbar Edge, and the gritstone ridges give serious hill walking with views across five counties. The cycling on quiet Derbyshire lanes is equally good.
Our Fleet for Derbyshire
Our fleet includes 2-berth, 4-berth, and 6-berth Elddis motorhomes with both manual and automatic options. Prices start from £135 per night, fully insured with 24/7 roadside assistance. Selected vehicles are dog-friendly. The main Peak District roads are suitable for motorhomes - avoid Winnats Pass near Castleton with larger vehicles. Our motorhome packing checklist covers what to bring.
The drive from Pontefract follows the M1 south then the A619 or A623 toward Chesterfield and Bakewell. Chesterfield with its famous crooked spire is within 50 minutes, Bakewell another 20 minutes beyond.
Campsites Across Derbyshire
Chatsworth Park CAMC Campsite is set within the Chatsworth Estate with a gate giving direct access to 1,000 acres of parkland - 120 hardstanding pitches, members only. Castleton CAMC Site has 92 all-weather pitches in the Hope Valley with walking distance to the village and show caves. Beech Croft Farm between Buxton and Bakewell has 30 hardstanding pitches, an on-site coffee shop, and Monsal Trail access - open all year. Hayfield at the foot of Kinder Scout has around 80 pitches for motorhomes and tents. Lathkill Dale near Monyash is a small farm campsite with direct walking access into Lathkill Dale National Nature Reserve.
Why Derbyshire for a Motorhome Holiday
Campervan hire in Derbyshire suits a weekend break just as well as a fortnight. The Peak District alone could fill two weeks without repeating a walk or a campsite, and the county's position between South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and the Lake District makes it easy to extend a trip in any direction. Collect from Pontefract, head south on the M1, and England's first national park is yours.

Common Questions About Motorhome Hire in Derbyshire
What Our Customers Say
“I recently booked a campervan for a short break to celebrate my partners 60th birthday. The whole experience from the initial contact/enquiry with Ryan to our trip around the Lake District and over to Northumberland was so easy. Ryan was always on the end of the phone for any questions or simply with help and encouragement. The van was new to Heaths, the 2/4 berth Elddis and it was very well equipped and easy to set up, everything we needed for our first time. We loved it and will definitely be booking again.”
“Amazing from start to finish! The whole experience was smooth and stress-free. The team provided fast replies to all of our questions, which made everything so easy to organise.

It was comfortable to drive and surprisingly spacious, with plenty of storage and a well-designed living area. The freedom a motorhome holiday gives you is unbeatable.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Heaths Motorhome Hire to anyone thinking about it and good luck to Ryan in the future , I’ll be back when the need arises .”
“Had the best time driving in the motorhome in the Scottish highlands. Cold outside but lovely and cosy in the van. Would definitely recommend Ryan’s motorhomes. Top class customer service. Looked after us from start to finish. Will deffo book again next time.”
“We hired two motorhomes from Ryan to travel to St Ives for 7 days, we had the best time & the van's are great! So many features in them made our trip very easy & stress free. Ryan was super helpful & allowed us to extend our stay without a problem. We will be recommending to our friends & are looking forward to renting them again for our next trip away! Thanks again Ryan”
“This was out first experience of traveling away in a motorhome with zero previous experience. Ryan could not have been more helpful from the first time of taking the enquiry to the handover process. We did have a few questions about how certain things worked whilst we were away and he responded immediately without any fuss. Ryan could not have done any more and went above and beyond what we ever expected to make our experience as simple, easy and enjoyable as possible. First class service from start to finish would definitely have no hesitation in recommending and we are already trying to plan our next motorhome holiday with Heaths Motorhomes!”
“This was the first time we had hired a mobile home. Ryan made this an easy experience, with full demonstration of the features and phone back up if required. He also offered plenty of good advise for our trip. The home was in spotless, well equipped and was perfect for our needs. Collection and drop off was easy and very close to the A1. We will certainly use Heaths Motorhomes again.”
“Top service from Ryan, Very helpful from start to finish. Myself and my wife hired the motorhome for our trip around the NC500, Everything was very clean and easy to use straight away. Ryan was only a phone call or Message away if we needed any advise. Would highly recommend using Heaths Motorhome Hire for any occasion”
“We rented one of Healths luxury motorhomes for a month. The motorhome was beautiful, clean and spacious and very comfortable to drive and we should know as we drove more than 2500 miles around europe. Me, my husband, our 14yr old son and our dog enjoyed everything about the motorhome. It had everything we needed for our epic family adventure. Now moving on to Ryan, the owner of this small company, from day 1 (back in January) he's been very responsive to ALL my messages, before the collection he sent us alot of information ready for our holiday, during the month of rental he has been on hand as and when we needed him and when my handbag was stolen with our passports in, he showed nothing but empathy and sympathy and went out of his way to make everything less stressful for us. I'm extremely greatful for his exceptional service and personal attitude.”
“I cannot thank Ryan and Heaths Motorhome hire enough, it was a long time in the making to surprise my partner for his 40th Birthday. We have just got back from our trip in Wales and it was fantastic! The motorhome was immaculate, communication prior, in the week leading up and during our trip was amazing! Ryan was hands on, when we needed anything even though he was on a family holiday himself. The whole experience was one we will never forget and we’re already planning our next trip! Could not recommend Heaths Motorhome hire enough, simply amazing! Thank you so much!”
“Hired a motorhome from Ryan for 5 nights Wow! What a way to make a trip. As avid campers we decided to take the plunge and hire a motorhome to and a bit of comfort to our lakes trip with our 8 year old, and it couldn’t have made it anymore perfect! It had everything we could possible need and more. It was also incredibly spacious and our son loved the ceiling bed and we all had a great nights sleep. Having so much storage was a big bonus and it was super cosy inside at night. The entire process of hiring and collecting was super easy and Ryan was constantly on hand to check if we needed anything or had any questions. I cannot recommend enough, already deciding where we can go next and hire again!”
“After an incredible 3000-mile European road trip with the family, I can't recommend Heath's Motorhome Hire enough. We traveled all the way from the UK to Stockholm, Sweden, crossing the impressive Øresund Bridge and making memorable stops at Öland and Lake Vättern. Along the way, we drove through and stayed in six other countries—Holland, Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg, Belgium, and France—and our motorhome was absolutely faultless the entire time. The motorhome was meticulously maintained and provided the perfect, comfortable base for our travels. The interior was so cozy, allowing us to get some well-deserved rest after long days of driving and sightseeing. A huge thank you to Ryan for making this unforgettable trip possible. His service was exceptional, responsive, supportive, knowledgeable, everything you need! We'll definitely be booking with him again for our next adventure!”
“We have just got back from an amazing time on the South Coast, The Motorhome was immaculate and Ryan was always on hand if we needed anything. We had 4 kids with us so I wasn’t sure what to expect but the kids had the most amazing time and loved motorhome life. Highly recommend and we will definitely book again.”
“Our first time renting a motorhome and honestly, we couldn't have found a better company to do it with. Everything has been so easy. From the booking to the collection and drop off. The orientation session was a really great service and allowed a novice like me to get an understanding of everything. Communication has been first class all the way through with Ryan and you just know he's there if you need him (which, because of the quality of the vehicle and the orientation session, weren't needed). Can't recommend Heaths enough. If you're considering hiring a motorhome, don't look anywhere else. Trust me.”
“First class service from Ryan, very helpful from the get go. We hired one of his motorhomes for a trip to Silverstone for my husband and daughter, a 6 birth for 2 definitely gave them both plenty of space, everything was very clean and easy to use. Ryan was only a phone call away if needed but everything ran smoothly. Will be booking it again for next yeas trip”
“Amazing holiday to Scotland, the van was huge, with everything we needed and more. Can’t give enough stars. Thanks for helping us finally get the NC500 ticked off our list.”
“Amazing van and service from Ryan. Top spec camper van hire with great comms, hand over and overall experience. We will be recommending to all our friends and family.”
“Back from our first motorhome trip as a family of 4 around South Wales and what a week it was! I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the Motorhome is with plenty of storage space (even for an overpacker like myself). The van has all the amenities you need and more. Ryan was absolutely amazing explaining everything and quickly replying to our many questions before and during the trip. We will definitely be booking through this company again and I would highly recommend. Thanks for making our first motorhome adventure a success!”
“We’ve just come home from a wonderful week away! The van was very modern, clean and well equipped. Ryan was a great host, nothing was too much trouble for our 121 questions 😂 We have already had people ask us about hiring and I hope as many people enjoy this kind of experience! Heaths Motorhomes is the way to do it!”
“We had a wonderful holiday touring Scotland in a Heaths motor home, staying in Loch Lommond, Isle of Skye, Dornoch, Stirling and Falkirk, finally landing back in England with a couple of days in Bamburgh. The van was an absolute delight to drive and live in for the 12 day tour and Ryan went above and beyond from start to finish, explaining the workings of the vehicle with back up videos. We are already planning next year with a tour of the south coast! Highly recommended.”
“OG FRIENDLY 🐾 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ We took a chance on hiring a motorhome for our Scotland road trip – just me, the husband, and one of our dogs – and honestly, we’re now completely converted (pun fully intended). From start to finish, it was a dream. Comfort was top of the list – we clocked up 5–6 hour drives with zero numb bums or backache. The convertible bed? Surprisingly lush! We’ve done Aussie motorhome trips before and this was in a different league – spacious enough for both of us to sleep soundly without an elbow in the face. The motorhome was spotless, well laid out, and had way more storage than we expected – and we didn’t even fill half of it. Bug blinds on every window and door meant we could let the breeze in without inviting in the midges. Dog friendly? Absolutely – and that’s a non-negotiable for us. Lily was living her best life. Customer service was brilliant. Ryan was helpful from the start and incredibly responsive with any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble, and he was really accommodating to our specific needs. He came highly recommended by a trusted mechanic mate, so we didn’t even shop around – and I’m so glad we went with him. We’ve now discovered that motorhome life is very much for us. I’m a bit of a snob and my husband has mild OCD, so it’s luxury motorhome hire or nothing from here on out. Ryan, you’ve set the bar!!”
“Just had a week in Scotland in 1 of the camper vans. The van was very clean and had everything we needed. Heaths made everything run smoothly from pick up to drop off. I have recommend them to all my friends and family and will be using them again.”
“Hired 2 vans off Ryan for 2 families to take a trip to south of France for 2 weeks, and the whole experience was amazing! Ryan was so helpful right from the first message and especially whilst away learning the ropes of how to work everything Vans come fully stocked with everything needed, even cleaning products- all insurance breakdown etc covered which meant we could just pick it up and off we go! First time doing anything like this and I'm sure it won't be the last! Thank you for everything 😊”
