Bluebell the campervan was the perfect host for post-lockdown staycation
I don’t really like camping, so it was clearly a lockdown fatigue-induced moment of madness that led to me sleeping with my mother and two dogs inside a beautiful VW campervan called Bluebell earlier this week.
With reports that self-catering properties were getting booked up fast and horror stories of families paying over the odds for a week in a tiny cottage in Kent, I took to Camptoo – a peer-to-peer campervan rental website – and sought out a more affordable option for our first holiday of the year. April 12 was our first day of real freedom, and what better way to do it than in a classic campervan?
