We had a great experience trying out multi-site camping in a Defender. Everything is provided & the vehicles are excellent, a true experience and adventure for all.
We enjoyed it do much and the team were excellent, friendly, & personable with us.

What an amazing holiday we had! Darren had thought of absolutely everything. We hired the Defender and took our daughter who loved the experience too.
Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to get away and do something a little bit different.

The perfect way to experience the Northumberland wilderness

My fiancé and I feel like we have just had the best holiday of our lives, and I am smiling all the way through writing this review. With sun and rain, we had a bit of everything, but we had the best fun at every moment — thanks to Darren, Tracey and Overland Adventures.

We rented a Land Rover Defender 110 with a roof tent and side awning from Overland Adventures, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

From the moment we collected the vehicle, it was obvious that Darren and Tracey had thought of absolutely everything. This wasn't just a Land Rover rental — it was a fully equipped adventure setup that allowed us to head straight into the Northumberland countryside and properly switch off.

The Defender itself was fantastic. Capable, comfortable and exactly what we needed for the wild camping spots we had booked. Having the roof tent and side awning meant we could arrive at any campsite or "Wild With Consent" field, find our perfect spot, set up quickly and be enjoying the landscape almost immediately. It gave us the freedom to explore places that simply wouldn't have been practical in an ordinary car.

Everything felt carefully considered. We were completely self-sufficient during our trip, cooking outdoors, sleeping under the stars and camping in some genuinely spectacular and private locations. The Defender was equally at home on the roads as it was on the rougher tracks and access roads leading to the campsites.

But what really makes Overland Adventures stand out is Darren and Tracey themselves. They were fantastic from start to finish — friendly, knowledgeable, incredibly helpful and clearly passionate about what they do. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and we felt completely confident heading off with the vehicle and equipment.

I was initially apprehensive about driving a manual again after not having driven one for some time, but Darren took me out for a little driving lesson before we set off, which gave me all the confidence I needed. That small gesture really summed up the whole experience — they genuinely wanted us to have a great trip, rather than simply handing over the keys.

We explored some amazing wild camping sites, including Low Trewhitt River Valley, which was beautiful and even had a lovely spot for a swim, and Scotchcoulthard Farm, where we had incredible views across the Northumberland countryside. Having the Defender made the whole experience possible; it genuinely felt like having our own expedition vehicle for the week, capable of taking us almost anywhere we wanted to go.

For anyone considering wild camping or exploring the North East, I honestly couldn't recommend Overland Adventures highly enough. Don't just think of it as hiring a vehicle — you're hiring the ability to have an adventure in a fully equipped expedition tool. Combine that with "Wild With Consent" and you can easily plan an amazing "Northumberland 250" trip or a completely bespoke adventure, with Darren's help if you need it.

We absolutely loved it and will no doubt be renting from Darren and Tracey again — most likely year after year. We're already thinking about bringing friends along too and trying the double roof tent option.

And when you compare the cost with buying, equipping, running, maintaining and inevitably repairing your own Defender or Discovery, this really is a no-brainer. You get an incredibly capable vehicle, all the equipment you need, and the freedom to explore without having to own and maintain the whole setup yourself.

A massive thank you to Darren and Tracey for making the whole experience so easy, comfortable and memorable. We genuinely couldn't have wished for a better introduction to this kind of adventure.

5/5 without hesitation. Absolutely brilliant.

Just got back from an amazing camping trip around Northumberland with the Land Rover and TentBox, and what an experience it was. The weather was absolutely perfect from start to finish, which made exploring even more enjoyable. Every place we visited had its own charm, and the scenery was simply stunning. From the coastline to the countryside, the views just seemed to get better and better.

Waking up each morning surrounded by such beautiful landscapes was something special, and spending the evenings relaxing outside after a day of exploring made the whole trip one to remember. It was the perfect break from everyday life.

A big thank you as well to Darren and Tracey from Overland Adventures for their brilliant service from start to finish. They were friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience easy from the moment we booked right through to returning the Land Rover.

I'd definitely recommend giving it a go. It's a fantastic way to get out and explore, and Northumberland completely exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely be doing it again.

We’d highly recommend Overland Adventures! We hired one of their Land Rovers for a camping trip around the Scottish Highlands, and it ended up being one of the best holidays we’ve had.

From the moment we picked it up, everything was straightforward. The team were really friendly, took the time to explain everything, and made sure we felt confident before setting off. The Land Rover was really well equipped, comfortable, and had everything we needed for an amazing few days exploring.

Having the freedom to find our own camping spots, wake up to incredible views, and take the trip at our own pace made it such a memorable experience. Best of all, the rooftop tent was more than a match for the Scottish midges—they stayed firmly on the outside!

A huge thanks to the team on helping to create an amazing experience.

WHAT AN ADVENTURE!! We loved our time as a family of four exploring Scotland with Overland Adventures. An unrivalled set up with two roof tents making it an easy, exciting and very comfortable trip for our 5yo and 8yo. Darren and Tracey provided exceptional service and we’ve recommended them to so many of our friends. As for Scotland, just wow! Blessed by the weather and nature: expansive beaches, whales, highland cows, stunning scenery, and many a meal by sunset. Now to plan our next escape with them.

My Dad and two brothers hired the land rover defender with x2 two person tents and did a 250 mile circular tour of Northumberland over 3 days. The vehicle is great fun to drive, extremely well equipped and more importantly the tents were simple to setup and comfortable. Tracy met us at the airport for both collection and drop off which was very convenient. A beautiful part of the country to visit and such a professional and straightforward company to deal with. Great value and would highly recommend Overland Adventures!

The organisation is superb, easy to work with and responsive to requests for help with route planning, general advice etc.
Vehicle well presented and very well equipped, you only need take yourselves!
Videos sent beforehand on how to erect the roof tents and also how to put them down. It does require some careful and organised work together with height and flexibility! I took my three sons to do this.
Recommend Wildertrips for route planning, we were well received at the campsites we booked, some inquisitive campers enjoyed seeing the end result.

Just got home after a 3 day trip around the N250 with my dad and brothers. We hired the two tent Land Rover defender from Overland Adventures and couldn’t have asked for a better Vehicle and service from Tracey. The landrover was clean, delivered at the airport when we arrived and had so many top class accessories included. We couldn’t have wanted for anything else. The kitchen equipment was brand new as was the firepit and cooker, all premium products. Loads of Yeti branded equipment included as well as all the essentials (tea, coffee, spices,oils etc..) a real premium experience for anyone looking for a fully stocked, top class trip on either the N250 or the N500. Top company, Quality product and great people. Thanks for a great holiday. I’ll definitely be back for a trip with my wife and children.
