Planning Your Scottish Road Trip
Routes to Consider

Wild Camping vs. Campsites
Wild Camping – Freedom & Seclusion
- In Scotland, wild camping on most public land is legal. It’s a great way to escape busy routes, enjoy solitude, and sleep under the stars.
- This option is free and flexible—but practice leave-no-trace ethics and respect local areas.
- Locals appreciate responsible wild campers, but improper parking in passing places has caused resentment
Campsites – Comfort & Convenience
- Campsites offer showers, toilets, water refill, and greywater/toilet disposal. Expect to pay £10–20/night; a simple dumpsite stops costs ~£5–10
- Booking ahead is vital during summer—most stay fully booked.
- Helpful apps: Park4Night, Searchforsites, Caravan and Camping Club, BritStops (pub or farm sites)
Tips for Driving & Road Safety
- Size Matters: Campervans (e.g. VW Transporter) are easier to navigate on narrow A‑roads and single-track Highland roads. Larger motorhomes can be driven on the NC500 but be prepared for tight corners.
- Passing Places: Slowdown in single-track sections, and yield at passing places for oncoming traffic .
- Parking Heads-Up: Plan in‑town parking in Edinburgh/Glasgow carefully—beware low bridges and narrow streets in older towns.
Onboard Comfort & Conveniences
- All Easicampers vehicles are well-equipped, including kitchen appliances, cutlery, plates and cups.
- Motorhomes feature showers, toilets, kitchen sinks, hob, and leisure batteries. Additional creature comforts such as indoor TVs, diesel heaters, and solar panel charging may be available in certain models
