If you prefer something compact over a coachbuilt, you’ll probably be more excited by campervans. They offer flexibility and ease of travel, and there’s a huge variety of them on offer.

If you’re looking for value, there are some great options that are equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable tour, as our best budget campervan in the UK guide proves.

Those who are looking for the best camper vans at the more budget end of the market will still find options with a good spec and layouts that provide practicality. That’s certainly the case with our pick of the budget campervans at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2025, where our judging panel set the criteria as being under £65,000.

Highly commended at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2025:

The Elddis Autoquest CV60 was our Motorhome of the Year back in 2020.

This year, as Elddis celebrates its 60th anniversary, it has been souped up as a 60th Anniversary Edition, complete with exclusive graphics and a number of extras including alloy wheels, a leather steering wheel, chrome surrounds to the air vents and exclusive upholstery and scatter cushions. Yet it still comes in at just £60,499.

And the reasons why it won Motorhome of the Year back then are still persuasive today. Within its six metre length you effectively get two lounges: one where the two of you can sit in the cab seats and have a meal around the round pedestal table, and a second, a much more relaxing affair at the back of the van where you can sit back on the day bed, admire the view or set up the best campervan projector to watch – there is plenty of space for that on storage unit on the side, along with relevant sockets.

Then come night time all you have to do is slide the daybed out and it becomes a French bed. No fiddling with infill cushions or slats. And you still have a decent washroom and kitchen between these two lounges.
