The right wheels can turn an ordinary journey into an epic adventure.

Campervans and motorhomes are terms used for camping vehicles with a motor, usually in the form of a van that has a bed and kitchen installed in the back. Motorhomes tend to be larger than campers, with more features and space. Caravans are slightly different; the vehicle is separate and must be towed behind a car.

There are many makes, models and styles of motorhomes out there. Read up on what makes a good motorhome to ensure you get the one that's right for you.

The perfect place to pitch up is never far away, with caravan parks and campsites to suit all budgets and interests. In most cases, your pitch will provide you with access to water and electricity, and the site will have washing and shower facilities, toilets, WiFi and sometimes an on-site restaurant or pub.

Nothing beats the freedom of the open road. Steer through miles of Scottish scenery or venture along the coastline while embarking on a road trip to remember. If you are travelling in a motorhome or caravan around Scotland, it is important to use official campsites or designated overnight parking areas. This helps protect local communities and ensures visitors and locals can all enjoy Scotland safely together.

There are hundreds of campsites in scenic coastal or beach spots across the country, complete with facilities and docks for your motorhome too.

Tips and Advice for travelling

Road Guidance

  • Make sure you know and understand the rules around driving in Scotland before you visit.
  • Check your map and plan your route before you head out – caravan and motorhome drivers are always best to stick to A and B roads, so you have plenty of space to pass other drivers in a large vehicle.
  • Look out for road signs which indicate if a road is unsuitable for large vehicles.
  • Plan and book where you will stay before you leave, and don’t stay in an undesignated area.

General visitor tips

  • Always take your rubbish home and pick up after your pets.
  • Keep a safe distance from any land management operations.
  • Look after plants, birds, animals, cultural heritage sites and important geological features.
  • Our Outdoor Access Code gives rights to roam, but this doesn’t cover your vehicle.
