Make the most of your sports vacations by traveling in a camper van

If you are a sports lover who can't conceive of a vacation without activity, you've probably found yourself limited more than once when it comes to choosing a destination because you have to give up carrying all your equipment. Rent a campervan and turn it into your mobile multi-adventure base of operations!

The camper: your ally on wheels for a sporty getaway
Traveling in a camper will allow you to take with you all the equipment you need to practice your favorite sport wherever you go. You can drive directly every morning to that viewpoint with breathtaking views to go jogging or cycling, or park your camper right in front of the sea to jump into the water as soon as you open the door.

Sporty vacations with the freedom to organize on the fly
You can vary the plan on the fly and head off every morning to the most inspiring spot on the map to go for a run, a row or a run. North wind? Let's head for the beach with the best swell. A storm front? Let's head into the woods for a bike ride - it's up to you!

You can also have a snack on a hilltop overlooking the sunset, change clothes after a dip or have a snack to replenish your strength will be possible because you will bring with you your own house with everything you might need.

And when night falls, park your camper in the ideal location to enjoy watching the sky lying on top or take out the table and chairs to savor a homemade barbecue after an intense day of sports. Wherever you are, you'll feel at ease.

Cycle touring through breathtaking scenery
One of the most stimulating plans when traveling in a camper is to program different circular routes for cycling, starting and finishing in the place where you have stayed overnight. This way you will be able to pedal through places of unparalleled beauty.

It doesn't matter your physical shape and resistance on the bike. In ACTIVANS you can rent a motorhome with all the necessary cycling equipment, as well as for other water sports such as paddle surfing, surfing with all-terrain, electric or conventional models.

And remember: you are going to go with a house on your back. So you can stop whenever you want, to immortalize with your camera that set of postcards that opens before your eyes. Or simply to contemplate and take a deep breath of fresh air while you savor the reward after the last ascent.

Motorhomes for all tastes
It doesn't matter if you're looking for a rather flat profile to ride without fainting or if your passion is the most vertiginous ascents. When you travel in a camper you will be able to study the terrain well the previous afternoon and trace the cycling route with the ideal slope for your physical condition.

And let's not forget that other equally fun part of cycle touring: the vertiginous descents after reaching the top of a mountain pass. By documenting the route in your own mobile home, you won't be in a hurry to finish the route because you have to return to the hotel or hostel before a certain time. You can repeat the descent whenever you want!

Campers: also ideal for water sports
The environments with calm waters such as estuaries, marshes or reservoirs also invite you to schedule outings in kayak, stand up paddle and other refreshing modalities. And again, the camper will be your best ally.

At ACTIVANS you can book your motorhome with all the water sports equipment included: paddle surf boards, bicycles... So you will have everything at hand to start the fun right away!

Thanks to the versatility and ease of parking the camper, every morning you can park it next to the water, on the beachfront, to have your paddle surf or kayak equipment ready to slide down the sheet, after getting dressed in the motorhome. I can't imagine a more comfortable and pleasant way to enjoy a few active days by the sea or the river!

Waves for surfers of all levels
If your passion is surfing, you are also in luck. Towing your board and wetsuits in the camper, every sunrise you will be able to scour the coastline in search of the beach with the ideal waves for your level, from the calmest breaks to those reserved for the most experienced surfers.

Another great advantage of traveling with a motorhome is that you will be able to approach quietly with the equipment preloaded in the camper to any of the best fishing spots or to make free dives when it suits you best, without being forced to hire collective outings early in the morning.
