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.

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.
