Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Overijssel

Overijssel — a region worth exploring

Overijssel is home to Giethoorn, a village with no roads where over 180 bridges connect thatched-roof farmhouses across a network of canals — earning it the nickname "Venice of the Netherlands." This eastern Dutch province stretches from the Weerribben-Wieden National Park in the north, one of Europe's largest freshwater wetlands, down to the forested hills of Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park in the south. The distance from Steenwijk in the north to Ootmarsum in the east covers roughly 85 km, while Zwolle, the provincial capital, sits about 110 km from Amsterdam, making it an easy starting point for a regional tour. Overijssel blends waterways, farmland, and woodland in a way that rewards slow travel. Towns like Deventer, with its medieval centre and annual book fair, and Kampen, known for its Gothic architecture along the River IJssel, offer genuine character. The province's quiet back roads and well-maintained cycling paths make it particularly well suited to campervan and motorhome travel, with plenty of space to pull over and enjoy the scenery. Through Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners across Overijssel, choosing from a range of vehicles to match your group size and travel style. It is a peer-to-peer approach that keeps things personal and often more affordable than traditional hire companies.

Best time to visit

The best time to hire a campervan in Overijssel is from May to September, when long daylight hours make the most of the province's waterways and green landscapes. In August, the Deventer Boekenmarkt draws thousands of visitors to one of Europe's largest open-air book markets — well worth timing your trip around. September brings the Kamper Ui-Dagen, a lively onion festival celebrating local heritage. Outside peak summer, spring and early autumn offer quieter campsites and lower hire rates. Through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, you can often find competitive pricing even during busier months, as local owners set their own rates.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Overijssel

Overijssel is well connected by the A28 motorway running north–south through Zwolle and the A1 crossing east–west towards Germany. Dutch motorways are toll-free, so you will not need a vignette or toll pass. The national speed limit on motorways is 100 km/h during the day (06:00–19:00) and 120 or 130 km/h at night, depending on the stretch — always check overhead signs. Motorhomes over 3,500 kg must observe lower limits and may face restrictions on certain urban ring roads.
