Our top five caravan destinations in Scotland
Hitting the open road in a caravan provides holiday makers with endless places to visit across the United Kingdom. Scotland has always been a popular destination for caravanners who crave spectacular unspoilt natural beauty, outdoor activities and plenty of unique culture and atmosphere.
Listed below, are our recommended top five caravan destinations that can be found across Scotland, all suitable for those looking for adventure, and for those seeking to relax in the wilderness.
Cairngorms National Park
Renowned for dramatic landscapes and excellent wildlife sightings, the Cairngorms National Park can offer campers and caravanners the opportunity to get close to nature. The Cairngorms National Park is located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, and so is close to walking and hiking trails, historic landmarks, and small towns. Organise your caravan pitch ahead of time, as many camping sites can get booked up during the peak seasons.
The Isle of Skye
Famous for its breath-taking coastline and rugged landscapes, The Isle of Skye is popular with walkers, hikers, and climbers. Like many popular Scottish destinations, it’s always worth booking your caravan pitch ahead of time, as being a small island, there will be limited pitches available during the peak season.
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs
Surrounded by beautiful lochs and spectacular scenery, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs are ideal for those who love to get up and go – whether that’s walk, hiking or taking part in water activities. From kayaking, angling, and boating to paddleboarding, windsurfing and sailing, there are water related activities available for everyone at all levels. However, don’t forget to bring a wetsuit, as the water can be very cold, even in peak summer!
Fort William
Located close to Ben Nevis (the largest mountain in Scotland and the United Kingdom), Fort William is an ideal destination for caravanners who also enjoy a bit of mountain climbing! With boat trips across the water, and visits to neighbouring islands, there is plenty at Fort William to entertain serious walkers, families, and everyone in-between.
