About
Based in Baydon, Wiltshire, OXCampers is a family run business born through wanting to share our love and passion for travelling the country in a VW Camper with others. If you would like to visit us to see our Campervans available for Hire or discuss having a Campervan Conversion on your own vehicle then please feel free to contact us.
Kyja and I were introduced to the VW Camper scene through our good friends Pete and Suzie back in June 2009, when they purchased their VW T4, named Girtie.
Having both been brought up on camping and boating holidays, we decided that buying a camper was the next step for us. So, five months later, after weeks of searching the internet, we purchased our first VW T4 (Croyde), which, once converted, sparked the idea of what is now OXCampers!
At the time, our dream was for our business to not only support our young family but also provide customers with lifelong memories. As the business grew so did our hire fleet, and our 10-year plan soon became to own all brand new VWs
Fast forward 14 years and we now own five T6.1’s and also one of the very lastest T7’s.
All our campervans can sleep four people comfortably. Don’t be fooled by the size—everything you need is in the van, and there’s plenty of storage space for all your belongings. You just need to bring a bag of clothes and a few groceries. If we can manage two weeks road-tripping around Spain with two young children and a Labrador, then you can, too!
We hope that by hiring out our vans, we can give others the opportunity to kick back, relax and explore our beautiful country in comfort and style.
We’re so proud of the 5-star feedback OXCampers has received over the years, and believe it speaks to the quality of the service that we offer and our dedication to helping our customers have the perfect #vanlife experience.

We rented Croyde for a long weekend at the beach. It rained all weekend almost, and was very very windy, but we were very comfortable and cosy inside Croyde. Everything inside the van was in good working order, clean and well maintained. Having the DVD player was a real bonus due to the weather! Mark’s pre service was fantastic – he was helpful, informative, and friendly. He spent time with us ensuring that we understood how everything worked and encouraging us to call if there were any problems. We will definitely be renting from Mark in the future.
After first coming across Oxcamper vans at the Boneshaker (an off-road duathlon held in Arlington) in September 2012, we decided to find a running event to enter suitably far away from us so we had an excuse to hire one of their brilliant vans.
Forward to the beginning of May 2013 where we hired Croyde for a weekend in Yorkshire (testimonial – Campervans Are Even For Messy People.) We were so impressed we decided to hire Bondi for a weekend at the beginning of June to test drive a poptop van and see if we really wanted one of our own.
Fast forward again to the beginning of July. We had bought our base van and contacted Mark to talk to him about converting it into a fantastic camper. He listened to all our ideas, said yes to all of them and best of all he found some amazing brightly-coloured laminate to make the cupboards from and so Vandango was born.
Mark had Vandango for only 3 weeks and transformed him from a rather dull white lwb T5 into a blue and orange palace. His workmanship is superb and the inside of Vandango is magnificent. I should probably apologise to him now for my first reaction on seeing the inside, when he delivered the van back to us, was to give him a huge hug…sorry Mark!!
Thank you so much,

Dear OXCampers
Thank you for the chance to experience a campervan weekend. We had a wonderful time finding all the handy storage spaces in Bondi, and settled in in no time. Despite horrible weather we were warm and dry and so pleased to return to Bondi each evening, switch on the lights and get cosy. 3 blondes in a Campervan may be the title for a comedy of errors sketch however it was far from it! From the Labrador snoring at night and happy campers with a warm cup of Nespresso coffee each morning it was a huge success.
Many thanks & best wishes
We hired Croyde to visit the End of the Road Festival. It was a revolution in the world of festivals! The camper was perfect-everything you could think of had been provided. The bed was extra comfy and roomy and all the features were v welcome. Our only problem is deciding where we are going to go next!

We have just had our T4 conversion completed by Mark at Oxcampers and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Mark was an enormous help in advising us on the most suitable layout for our needs and as a bonus was able to show a couple of examples in the flesh! His selection of sample finishes gave us a real feel for how the van would look making me confident I’d made the right decisions before completion. Whilst his attention to detail was exceptional, it was the way that he kept us up to date with the progress that really impressed. The occasional emailed photo kept me informed not to mention excited! Marks passion for what he does is clear in the quality of the finished product and I can honestly say that I would not hesitate to recommend Oxcampers to anyone looking for a conversion.

I was recommended Marks services as I was interested in converting a VW van into a camper. Mark was able to offer in advice on the benefits of a T5 or T4 as I use the van on a daily basis for work and as a promotional vehicle. I think it has to be highlighted that Mark’s knowledge of all VW’s is excellent due to the fact he is a VW trained mechanic. This gave me extra confidence when Mark did the lowering, fitting of the wheels and windows.
So we have had a summer of great trips away enjoying the brilliant weather that Britain has experienced this year. As a marketing tool for the business at events it steals the show every time. A lot of the time people are more interested in the van itself!
As a camper, it is very well laid out and Mark was able to offer a number of variations on materials and finishes for the units and floor and could give us real life experiences of how they would work and work in the van. Small details like in cabinet lights, the way one cupboard opens when the bed is out so we can get stuff out to make a cup of coffee in the morning mean that Mark really knows what he is doing.
As a craftsman Mark is second to none! I would say this is the best compliment he could hear but most people’s comments are “that must of cost a fortune as you have brought a brand new camper from VW”. That is probably the best way to describe his work, individual to your needs but workmanship to a level that it looks completely original.
So to sum up; I would not trust anyone else if and when I get another camper converted and if you have a business and go to events, a campervan is one of, if not the best marketing tool I have invested in because of their cult following people remember them.

We are very pleased with the conversion work that OXCampers has done for us on our T5. Mark really does know what he is talking about and was happy to spend time helping us refine our ideas.
We would certainly recommend them!
