Essential Campervan Accessories for Your Scottish Adventure
You’ve done the hard work, transforming a plain old van into your dream camper. Now, let’s talk about the accessories that will take your campervan from “cool project” to “fully functioning travel machine.”
- Solar Panels: Let’s face it, finding a charging point in the Scottish Highlands is like searching for Nessie. Adding solar panels ensures you’ll always have power, even when you’re miles from the nearest town. Check out our Online Shop for top solar panel options.
- Insulated Curtains: Keeping warm on those chilly Highland nights is crucial. Fitting insulated curtains help maintain the temperature and also give you that added layer of privacy when you’re parked up in a remote spot along the NC500 route.
- Campervan Kitchen Accessories: From portable stoves to collapsible kettles, your mobile kitchen is an essential part of your campervan adventure. Imagine pulling over by Loch Ness, and rustling up dinner while waiting for the mythical(?) beast to make an appearance!

Campervan Routes: Explore the Best of the Scottish Highlands
The North Coast 500 (NC500)
Known as Scotland’s answer to Route 66, the NC500 is a 500-mile loop around the northern tip of Scotland, taking you through some of the most remote and beautiful scenery in the UK. Start in Inverness, then head north through towns like Ullapool and Durness. Along the way, park up by beaches, waterfalls, and rugged cliffs for an overnight stay. And don’t worry, there are plenty of spots to park your campervan along the route!
Glen Etive and Glencoe
If you’re a fan of dramatic landscapes (and let’s be real, who isn’t?), then a trip to Glen Etive is a must. This beautiful, remote valley was a filming location for James Bond’s Skyfall – so you can channel your inner 007 while winding your way along this stunning route.
The Isle of Skye
The Isle of Skye is a magical place, full of mist-covered hills, fairy pools, and ancient castles. Take the A87 from Inverness, and prepare to be blown away by the scenery. The roads here can be narrow and winding, so make sure your van has plenty of storage so that there is nothing to roll around in the back!
