Real camper people
We’ve hired plenty of campers ourselves. We know how much a thoughtful detail can change a trip, because we’ve been in your shoes.
A new adventure. Opening 2027.
A little more
freedom.
A lot more care.
Campervan hire in Reading, Berkshire.
For the open road. And all the little moments along it.
Good things aheadIllustration of our planned adventures
Small business. Big heart. Rooted in Reading Campers, through and through
Hello, we’re Ankers Campers
Made of road trips.
Built around you.
We’re Chris and Helen Anker. After years of hiring campers, we found Valerie, our own much-loved campervan. We loved the freedom so much, we decided to help other people find it too.
Now we’re creating a small campervan hire business in Tilehurst, Reading—with thoughtful touches, a relaxed handover and people who care at the other end of the phone.
Meet Chris, Helen & ValerieIt’s the little things
Your holiday.
Our heart and soul.
A lovely, easy beginning
A calm, personal handover is at the heart of our plans. Time to get comfortable, ask questions and feel ready for the road.
Here along the way
Customer service comes first. We’re building a business around helpful people and support throughout your hire.
A peek at what’s ahead
Two ways to
find your freedom.
We’re planning a VW T6.1 and a larger VW Crafter. Different ways to travel, with the same personal care.
THE COMPACT ONEIn our plans
The VW T6.1
A little home.
A world of possibility.
THE ROOMIER ONEIn our plans
The VW Crafter
A little more room.
The same open-road feeling.
A little dreaming, for now. These are illustrations of our planned range. The vans haven’t been bought yet; photographs, specifications and availability will follow. Valerie is our own camper and isn’t for hire.
It’s the little touches that can
fundamentally improve
your holiday experience.
And yes, we really do mean the little things.Field notes

Less packing. More possibility.
The useful things, the comforting things and the things you can probably leave at home.

Woodland wanders, a little sea air and a plan with plenty of room to do nothing.
