The van trip, planned with care.
Tell us where your trip starts, how far you like to drive in a day and who's coming along. Vanabout plans every night at a real campsite and writes out each day, so you can stop planning and start looking forward to it.
- Every campsite is a real place with its source
- Every drive measured on real roads within your limit
- Free in the public beta, then €4.99 per trip
- Short drive to the cruise terminal, park and walk ten minutes
- Morning cruise on Milford Sound, ahead of the coach crowds — fur seals, dolphins and a chance of Fiordland crested penguins
- Back at the park for a relaxed rest of the day
Five minutes at the kitchen table

Nothing made up, nothing quietly left out
Campsites that exist
Every one of them comes from OpenStreetMap and is pinned where it really is. If nobody has recorded whether a site has power, we don’t guess.
Your driving limit, kept
If you say 250 km a day, no leg comes back at 400 — every drive is measured on real roads. And if a place you want to see won’t fit, we tell you.
Easy to change
Change one stop and the days after it adjust around it. The rest of your trip stays exactly as you liked it.
Where would you like to go?
Every country has example routes, the campsites our index holds there, and what the driving is really like.

Lars BremerMakes Vanabout, from GermanyWe travel by van with our kids, and the planning always took longer than it should have. Vanabout is the planner I wanted for us: careful with the small things, so the holiday can be the easy part. If something in your plan looks wrong, write to me — I'll reply myself.
