If you’re planning a road trip in the Dolomites, take a look at the UK company Wicked Campers.

The bargain campervan company is known for its “funky accommodation and wheels all rolled in to one wicked campervan.”  For mountain travelers in Europe, it’s a brilliant way to travel and  camp in style, comfort and on a budget.

Wicked Campers offers a choice of two and five-seater Toyota vans equipped with a bed for two, table, basic built-in kitchen, camping chairs, CD player and storage space and additional tents for larger groups.  What makes the campers “funky” is each van is individually graffitied like no other.

All Wicked Campers’ vans come with insurance and 24-hour roadside assistance which is valid in the UK and the rest of Europe.  They are available for one-way or round-trip hire.  Depots are located in London, Dundee, Loch Ness, Belfast, Amsterdam, Munich, Barcelona, Malaga, San Benedetto and Verditz.
