Bunk Campers review
Bunk Campers has a practical, unpretentious take on the classic camping holiday.

Background
Company overview
Bunk Campers is a campervan and motorhome rental company serving the United Kingdom and Ireland. It began in Ireland in 2007, after its founders returned from a campervan trip through Australia and New Zealand. They brought the idea home, opening in Belfast and Dublin before expanding into Britain, with Scotland following in 2010 and London in 2014.
In 2018, Apollo Tourism & Leisure acquired Camperco Group, which included Bunk Campers. Apollo then merged with Tourism Holdings Limited, usually known as thl, in 2022.
The latest change took place on 31 March 2026, when Indie Campers completed its purchase of thl's UK and Ireland business. Bunk was included in that transaction and now operates within Indie Campers Group. The Bunk Campers name continues to be used for its campervan and motorhome rentals.
Our verdict
Editorial review
Bunk Campers sits between a small regional operator and a large rental network. Its established presence in Britain and Ireland retains a local feel, while the breadth of its fleet gives couples and families meaningful choices rather than a single standard format.
The proposition is strongest around vehicle choice, trip flexibility and the collection handover. Its weaker side is consistency: preparation, remote support and post-rental follow-up do not always reach the same standard. It works best when choice and route flexibility matter more than a completely uniform service experience; protection, mileage and return conditions deserve close comparison before booking.
Good points
- A practical approach to camping.We like the range's focus on the facilities travellers use in everyday life on the road.
- Comfort that works for real touring.The range is designed as practical living space rather than basic transport, with layouts that work for both couples and families.
- A useful introduction to the vehicle.Bunk builds a full demonstration of the onboard systems into collection, giving renters a practical foundation before they leave the depot.
- Local teams can keep a trip moving.Depot staff have proved effective at resolving equipment problems and finding practical solutions during a rental.
Things to consider
- Vehicle preparation needs more consistency.Cleanliness, missing equipment and faults appear often enough in customer feedback to make a thorough collection check worthwhile.
- Collection quality can vary.The checks and vehicle introduction can feel rushed after a wait, making the handover less consistently strong than it should be.
- Remote support lacks consistency.When a problem needs escalation away from the depot, reaching the right person and securing a solution can take too long.
- Post-rental follow-up needs to be clearer.Reimbursements, deposits and damage charges are a recurring weak point, particularly once the rental has ended.

Bunk Campers combines compact campervans and larger motorhomes, with onboard bathroom facilities throughout the range. Its rental fleet is kept under three years old.
Aero and Vista use 5.99-metre panel-van bodies. The larger vehicles divide between low-profile motorhomes and overcab layouts, giving the range different ways to accommodate living and sleeping space.
All categories include a kitchen, heating and hot water. The difference lies in the room available and how the interior is arranged, rather than whether those basic facilities are present.

Before booking
Practical facts
The policies, inclusions and services that are specific to a Bunk Campers rental.
| Topic | What to know |
|---|---|
| One-way rentals | Bunk offers one-way hire on selected routes between agreed depots. Both locations must be confirmed in the booking; changing the return city afterwards is treated as a separate request. |
| Pets | Pet-friendly rentals are available and the pet should be added during booking. The permitted number and size of pets, any cleaning charge and the applicable conditions depend on the agreement issued for the rental. |
| Mileage | Bunk bookings have a nightly distance allowance rather than universally included unlimited mileage. Extra-distance and unlimited packages may be added; the unlimited option remains subject to a fair-use cap, and excess distance is settled at return. |
| Vehicle allocation | Bunk reservations are made for a vehicle category, not a guaranteed make, model, year or floorplan. If the booked category cannot be supplied, the current agreement allows the operator to offer a vehicle in the same or a higher category. |
| Included equipment | Bunk's published standard inventory includes an electrical hookup cable, fresh-water hose, cookware, crockery, cutlery and basic kitchen utensils. |
| Optional extras | Bedding, towels, outdoor furniture and child seats are optional and subject to availability. |
| On-road assistance | Bunk provides 24/7 assistance through Live Chat and WhatsApp. Repairs, recovery or other paid assistance should be coordinated through support; whether the resulting cost is covered depends on the cause of the incident and the protection selected. |
| Protection and security deposit | Bunk's current agreement offers Basic, Standard and Premium protection options with different levels of liability. The security deposit is separate and depends on the selected plan. The cardholder must be present with a physical Visa, Mastercard or American Express; debit cards must support a deposit hold. |
| Returning the camper | Bunk's current agreement requires the return to be completed at the agreed depot and time. The vehicle must be handed back at the recorded fuel level, with the water tanks emptied, the toilet cassette cleaned and the interior cleared and cleaned. An unattended key drop requires specific authorisation. |
More about the company
Explore Bunk Campers
Two details that can change how you use your camper once you have parked.
Sleeping layouts
Think about what happens to the living area when someone wants to sleep. Bunk's Horizon layout combines a drop-down bed with sleeping spaces made from the rear lounge and dinette. That makes the evening routine part of the choice: will somebody still want to sit up once a seating area has become a bed?
The Vista takes a different approach, with a rear bed and another in its pop-top roof. The useful distinction is how the sleeping areas are reached and which parts of the camper remain usable at bedtime. Look at the layout with your group's evening routine in mind.
Cooking facilities
The Aero and Vista differ from the larger motorhomes in their cooking setup: the two panel-van categories have hob cooking, while the other types include an oven or grill. This matters if you expect to cook most evenings. A one-pan meal and an oven dinner ask different things of the camper.
Start with a few meals you would actually make, then look at the cooking setup. That is a more useful comparison than treating every fitted kitchen as interchangeable.
Quick answers
Bunk Campers FAQ
Can I choose the exact vehicle shown?
No. A Bunk Campers reservation is for a vehicle category rather than a guaranteed make, model, year or floorplan. The vehicle supplied should match the booked category or, when that category is unavailable, the current rental agreement allows a vehicle in the same or a higher category to be offered.
What driving licence do I need?
The named Bunk Campers categories are no heavier than 3,500 kg and can normally be driven with a category B licence or its accepted equivalent. Driver age, licence history and document requirements still depend on the conditions confirmed for the booking.
Can I book Bunk Campers through Motorhomeland?
Search Motorhomeland for your dates and route, then check the supplier name on each available offer. Bunk Campers will appear when it has availability for that search.
Are all Bunk Campers vehicles automatic?
No. Most Bunk Campers categories use automatic transmission, while Europa may be supplied with a manual or automatic transmission.
Do all vehicles have a toilet and shower?
Yes. Every Bunk Campers category includes an onboard toilet and shower, although their layout and available interior space vary between campervans and motorhomes.
Does Bunk Campers offer one-way rentals?
Yes, on selected routes between agreed depots. Availability depends on the dates, vehicle category and pickup and return locations, and a one-way charge may apply.
Can I travel with a pet?
Pet-friendly rentals are available. Add the pet when booking and check the confirmation for the permitted number and size of pets, the cleaning conditions and any applicable charge.
