The best advice every motorhome hirer should know before heading off on a motorhome adventure across the Scottish Highlands.

Top 10 Motorhome Travel Tips - Scottish Highlands

  • Don't Trust Google Maps Blindly - always double-check if the road is actually suitable for motorhomes before heading off

  • Skip the viral spots sometimes – take the scenic detour, explore without a plan… those hidden gems often become the highlight

  • Pre-book campsites in peak season – especially on busy routes like the NC500. Last-minute spots can be hard to come by

  • Pack for all weather – even if the forecast looks clear. Trust us

  • Don’t over plan – Highland roads can be slow and very scenic. Give yourself space to stop and soak it all in

  • Take cash – some remote shops, cafés, and honesty boxes don’t take cards

  • Phone signal is patchy – bring games, books, or a deck of cards for evenings off-grid

  • Catch live music in a local pub – even if you’re not a drinker, the atmosphere is something else

  • Plan waste disposal and fuel stops – use designated motorhome service points and never empty waste in the wild. Plan your route to include proper facilities as well as fuel stops

  • Choose the right motorhome – it makes a huge difference to your comfort and experience. Our team’s always happy to help you pick the perfect one
