Valuable Tips for Your Holiday in Scotland
If you want to avoid the colder and wetter conditions of most of the year, the best time to visit Scotland is May through September. However, you can avoid the crowds and still benefit from the sunshine if you rent a campervan in Scotland during May, June or September.
- Hiking
Given the milder weather, the best time to hike in Scotland is May to September. During the summer, you can safely take longer and more intense walking and climbing routes as the snow has melted. Fort William makes a great starting point for trips up Ben Nevis, Scotland's highest mountain.
- Beaches
Thanks to weather conditions during autumn and winter, it is often forgotten that Scotland is home to many beautiful beaches. The best time to explore these is from May to September, as the weather is more agreeable. Dunnet Bay is the most Northern point on the British mainland and is one we recommend.
- Sightseeing
The best time to visit Scotland and see as many sights as possible is May, June, September, or October. During these months, the days are longer, and most businesses are open. July and August offer excellent weather conditions but are much busier, and the crowds may be an issue at the more famous landmarks and locations. We recommend heading to Edinburgh and Glasgow as they are not far apart from each other.

The local authorities own most of the highways and main roads and have specific rules and regulations. This applies to car parks, too. While paying and parking in a car park when you rent a campervan in Scotland may be all right, you are not usually allowed to cook, camp, or clean. Some car parks in the country prohibit entirely large motorhomes and recreational vehicles.
According to Scottish law, you are allowed to camp out in your campervan by the side of the road anywhere in the country with permission from the owner, as long as you can find a suitable and safe location. Ensure you are not in what is known as a passing place, dangerously blocking access or parking.
The simple answer is not for free. You can sleep at Motorhome Services when you hire a motorhome in Scotland, but if you stay there for longer than 2 hours, you must pay an appropriate location fee to cover 24 hours. You can pay at the designated till points following signposts on-site. The rules and allowed periods for stopping for free may be different from one to another.
