HopsteadPlan trips around where you'll stay, not just the drive.
Hopstead treats your trip as the places you sleep and the days you spend there - with routing, overnight-stop ideas and things to do built right in.
Most planners draw a line. Your trip happens off it.
Other tools model a road trip as one continuous drive with stops hung off it like beads on a string. But once you arrive somewhere, you're not driving - you're walking, exploring, settling in.
Hopstead is built the other way round: a hierarchy of places you stay, each holding the days and activities you actually came for - connected by the driving in between.
Built for the way road trips really work
From the route your van can actually take, to the cheapest fuel and the best things to do at every stop.
Plan it in plain English
Describe the trip you fancy and Hopstead drafts a full multi-stop itinerary you can tweak.
Vehicle-aware routing
Tell Hopstead what you're driving - motorhome, campervan, car or caravan - and routes respect it.
Drive or ferry, leg by leg
Switch any leg to a ferry crossing and Hopstead plots the sea route and crossing time.

When a day's drive is too long, Hopstead proposes comfortable places to break the journey.
