About Bear Hug Campers
Bear Hug Campers, founded by John, operates from a workshop near the South Downs National Park in Hampshire, UK. The company was established with the vision of creating campervans that feel meticulously crafted rather than mass-produced. Their philosophy centers on using honest materials, skilled joinery, and thoughtful layouts to transform small spaces into bright, homely environments. Every aspect of the build process is conducted in-house, ensuring consistent quality and attention to detail.
The company specializes in a range of campervan conversions, including refined VW Transporter Signature Builds, larger Lunbjørn Signature Builds for vehicles like the Citroen Relay, and fully custom builds tailored to individual client needs. Beyond complete conversions, Bear Hug Campers is highly regarded for its professional Victron off-grid electrical installations, which are designed, supplied, and installed to be reliable, certified, and user-friendly. They also offer partial conversion services, such as cutting holes for installations, and provide valuable advice to self-builders.
A distinctive aspect of Bear Hug Campers is its commitment to wildlife conservation. Through a partnership with Wildwood Trust, every van build contributes to funding the care of rescued bears. Clients commissioning a build also adopt a bear in their name, receiving a personalized plaque, an information pack, and an invitation to visit the sanctuary. This initiative imbues each campervan with a sense of purpose, connecting the adventure of vanlife with meaningful environmental support.

Customer Testimonials
Stunningly crafted and finished... you’re in the right place
John recently converted our van for us and we’re really pleased with the results. If you want a indenti-kit plastic soulless fit out (like 90% of the vans out there) then this is not the place for you. If you want a van that is bespoke to you and stunningly crafted and finished, then you’re in the right place. From start to finish, we really enjoyed the design process and we now own a van that we’re over the moon with.
Honest and good-natured
Thoroughly recommend Bear Hug Campers. The workmanship is to an extremely high standard and the after-sales support is superb. I didn't know too much about either campers or vans in general, so getting one felt overwhelming at first. However, they made me feel instantly comfortable with their patient, honest and good-natured manner. We are over the moon with our new van, thanks Bear Hug!
I mean just look at this work of art!!!
Biggest thanks for cutting all the holes from the outside I was too scared to 😂 Honestly so chuffed. I was so worried about doing the electrics. It was so worth getting Bear Hug to take the stress off my hands and frankly do an amazing job and give me so much advice!
Never condescending, always encouraging and very much appreciated
Just what I need to get me across the finish line in what has turned out to be a much more complicated process than I could have imagined. Cheers for helping to keep the dream alive.
I felt completely at ease throughout the whole process
I have had a full van conversion with John and I honestly couldn't have imagined anything better. The whole process has been incredible from start to finish. I felt completely at ease throughout the whole process. From our first initial call, he took the time to understand me and what I was trying to achieve, and I knew that any decision that may have come up, he would have thought how I may want things.
