Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Highlands

Highlands — a region worth exploring

The Scottish Highlands contain Britain's highest peak, Ben Nevis, standing at 1,345 metres above sea level and drawing thousands of walkers each year to its summit near Fort William. This vast region stretches across the northern half of Scotland, offering lochs, glens, and rugged coastline that make every drive an experience in itself. From Inverness, the unofficial capital of the Highlands, you can reach the shores of Loch Ness in under 30 minutes, while the journey south-west to Fort William covers roughly 105 km through the Great Glen. Landmarks such as Eilean Donan Castle, the Glenfinnan Viaduct, and the Torridon mountains give you plenty of reasons to pull over and explore. Single-track roads with passing places are common in the north and west, so a campervan is often the ideal way to travel at your own pace, stopping wherever the view demands it. Larger motorhome drivers will find well-maintained A-roads linking the main towns, with ample space at dedicated stopping points along the way. Whether you fancy whale-watching off the coast near Gairloch or hiking the Cairngorms plateau, the Highlands reward those who take their time. With Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners based across the region, choosing from a range of vehicles that suit your group size and travel style.

Best time to visit

May to September is the prime window for a campervan trip through the Highlands, when daylight stretches well past 21:00 and most campsites are fully open. The Inverness Highland Games, held each July, offer a brilliant excuse to plan your route around traditional caber-tossing and piping competitions. Autumn brings the annual red deer rut across the glens, a spectacle worth timing a trip for in October. Booking through Yescapa outside peak summer months often means more competitive hire prices from private owners, and you will find quieter roads and easier campsite availability in spring and early autumn. Whichever month you choose, pack layers — Highland weather can shift quickly even on the finest days.

The Highlands have no motorways; the A9 is the main trunk road running from Inverness north to Thurso and south to Perth. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are 50 mph on single carriageways and 60 mph on dual carriageways. Many routes in the north and west are single-track with passing places — pull into the nearest one on your left to let oncoming traffic through. There are no toll roads anywhere in the Highlands. Fuel stations can be sparse in remote areas such as Sutherland and Wester Ross, so fill up whenever you see one.
