Adventures with the Spartan Family: Where Our Campervans Roam

This blog is a celebration of those stories. A showcase of real photos, from real members of the Spartan Family, living the dream in their VW campervans. You’ll see peaceful cups of tea enjoyed on misty mornings at the edge of Highland lochs. Sun-drenched BBQs beside glistening lakes. Snowy scenes in the Alps, campervans tucked into ski resorts like mountain huts. European city breaks where a Spartan camper becomes the perfect base for discovering hidden backstreets and local cafés.

Some adventures are big. A summer spent winding through Italy and the South of France. A Christmas road trip to Bavaria. Others are simple—a spontaneous overnight escape to the coast, or a quiet forest retreat just an hour from home. But they all share one thing in common: the freedom and joy that only campervan life can bring.

These moments are why we do what we do. Every campervan we build is more than just a van—it’s a passport to adventure, a cabin on wheels, and a partner for wherever the road leads. Seeing the photos you share—whether it’s breakfast by the sea, a late-night campfire, or just a quick weekend getaway—reminds us of the true purpose behind every nut, bolt and stitch that goes into a Spartan build.

When you buy a campervan from Spartan, you’re not just buying a vehicle. You’re joining a movement. You’re becoming part of a community that supports, inspires and shares in each other’s journeys. Our Facebook group, “Spartan Family Adventures,” is full of travel inspiration, top campsite recommendations, clever storage tips, and friendly advice from others who’ve been there, done that, and still love every minute.

And it’s not just our customers who feel the connection, we do too. Our entire team lights up every time a handover customer sends us a picture from their first trip. Whether it’s a mountain pass in the Pyrenees or a layby with a cracking view of the Lake District, we are genuinely honoured to be part of it.

Your stories remind us that campervan life isn’t about ticking boxes on a travel list. It’s about the moments in between. The unexpected stop at a farm shop. The dog curled up under the table. The cup of tea that tastes better because you made it in your van. It’s about freedom, simplicity, connection and doing it all at your own pace.

So if you’re already a Spartan Family member, thank you for sharing your journeys with us. Keep sending in your photos, keep tagging us, and keep showing the world what van life looks like when it’s done the Spartan way.
