Frequently Asked Questions

How many days should I allow for the NC500?

Most travellers recommend 7–10 days to fully enjoy the route without feeling rushed. This allows time to explore each region, from Inverness to Sutherland, with plenty of stops along the way.

Can I take a campervan into the more remote areas of the Highlands?

Yes. Our vehicles are designed to handle Scotland’s diverse roads, though we always advise sticking to recommended routes and being mindful of passing places on narrower stretches.

Is wild camping allowed in a campervan in Scotland?

While Scotland has more freedom than many places, wild camping in vehicles is not the same as tent camping under the Outdoor Access Code. We recommend using official campsites, overnight parking areas, or designated motorhome stopovers to stay safe and compliant.

Do I need prior motorhome driving experience?

No. If you hold a standard UK driving licence, you can drive our campervans. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know before you set off.
