They said it couldn’t be done, that orange and yellow would never come together to create the perfect caravan, but here it is.

Is there a more invigorating sight after winter than glorious orange flower blooms in a lush field, basking in the warmth of the sun with a glorious tune of bird song in the background? Yes, yes there is. Maisie the Orange Van puts all of that to shame with her vibrant tangerine coat, eggshell white walls and timber finish. She’s perfect for flower-hunting trips, flower-spotting trips, or, you know, camping if you’re feeling more conventional or literal.

If you’re after a perfect spring surf getaway, you can’t do much better than a van with ‘surf heaven’ in the name.

If you’re not a surfer, no worries! One look at the stunning conversion inside with its generous daybed, modern kitchen and high roof, you’ll be sold and ready to take it on a road trip.

With a name fit for a king, it’s no wonder this offering is fit for the ultimate spring road trip. This sunshine-yellow Jeep comes equipped with a handy rooftop tent, 270-degree awning and a kitchen setup to rival the best motorhomes. The best part?

Luxury camping doesn’t come much more luxurious than this vintage caravan. Newly renovated and ready to provide you with the perfect spring camping experience at a BIG4 park. Frankie Rose is as close to the ‘all inclusive resort’ type of holiday you can get while camping, as the fantastic owners will drive the caravan to the campsite and set it up for you. You won’t need to lift a finger as you relax amongst the trees in this light and airy retro camper.

Van life is great and all, in fact it’s one of the best types of life in our humble opinion. But if you haven’t tried bus life then you’re missing out. The absolute legend Salty the Bus is the ideal rental to explore spring with and see if bus life is the one for you. Salty is a bigger vehicle than most of Camplify's other offerings, so you’ll need to be comfortable driving the 7-metre bus, but with the space and freedom Salty offers, you’ll be in for the holiday of a lifetime.

With stylish rose gold trimmings and space for four, Rose could be the perfect antidote to your post-Barbie blues this spring.
