Plan Your Dream Romantic Campervan Roadtrip for Valentine's Day (and Beyond!)
There's something undeniably romantic about just packing up the van and going somewhere, anywhere, with your significant other — the freedom to explore, the opportunity to create lasting memories. Stop anywhere you’d like, or take a long drive to nowhere in particular — find what the two of you like to do and see, together, in real time. Celebrate your romance, old or new, with the endless possibilities for kindling and rekindling love while traveling together in a campervan.
The Perfect Playlist
First thing’s first: start your romantic road trip with a thoughtfully curated playlist. Choose songs that hold sentimental value or that you both enjoy, or choose our Vanish playlist. As you drive, let the music serenade you and set the tone for your adventure.
Location, Location, Location
Plan your route to coincide with breathtaking views.
You can seek out coastal destinations where you can stroll along the shore, collect seashells, and enjoy the soothing sound of waves crashing. Beachside sunsets and beach bonfires add a touch of magic to your journey. Or, simply find a scenic overlook or a quiet spot with an unobstructed horizon. Watch the sun dip below the horizon hand in hand, and savor the romantic moment. Then, spend your nights parked beneath a starlit sky. Share stories by the campfire, roast marshmallows for s'mores, and cozy up for an intimate evening in the van.
On the Journey
Use your road trip as an opportunity to unplug from technology. Put away your devices and fully engage with each other and your surroundings. The absence of screens can lead to deeper connections and conversations. Instead, bring along sketchbooks, cameras, or a musical instrument and indulge in creative activities together. Capture the landscapes you encounter, create art, or write love letters to each other as you traverse the open road. Allow room for unplanned detours and spontaneous adventures — sometimes, the most romantic moments arise when you least expect them. Explore hidden gems, small towns, and unexpected attractions along the way.
A Recipe for Romance
Sure, hitting the open road with your love is exhilarating, but sometimes true magic happens closer to the ground – or rather, closer to the burner on your tiny stove. Ditch the crowded restaurants and chain diners and whip up a gourmet feast together within the cozy confines of your van. Think of it as your own private Michelin-starred restaurant with breathtaking scenery for a view. We’d recommend focusing on dishes that pack a punch of flavor with minimal ingredients and fuss. Opt for one-pot wonders like creamy pasta dishes, fragrant curries, or succulent slow-cooker stews. Set the table and add a few LED candles for that extra touch.
