Destination: Argyll & Oban
A west-coast trip built around archaeology, Loch Fyne and an Oban harbour lunch.Good for: Food, history and coast in one mainland trip; no ferry booking needed unless you extend to an island.The compromise: The A83 can be disrupted at the Rest and Be Thankful, and a coastal detour makes a ferry connection less forgiving.Roseview has closed, so older overnight recommendations need replacing. Check the A83 before choosing your approach. Add a mainland night before handback if the trip includes a Mull ferry.Read the full Argyll & Oban campervan guide
4-day Argyll & Oban coast
Follow the A83 from Inveraray into Kilmartin’s ancient landscape, then finish with Oban’s harbour food. This mainland trip puts archaeology and small-town stops ahead of ferry logistics.
6-day Mull & Iona slow tour
Six hire days give Mull and Iona room to breathe: Salen for the north, Fidden for the Iona visit, then a booked mainland night before returning the camper.
6-day Kintyre & Argyll coast
Tarbert’s harbour, Campbeltown and Machrihanish’s beach reward the drive down Kintyre. Give the peninsula proper time, then work north for your final Inveraray night.
8-day west coast & Skye
Eight days along Loch Lomond, Loch Fyne, Oban and Glencoe before the Mallaig ferry to Skye. Keep Trotternish for the full island day, then make the separate mainland transfer to Glencoe before handback.
12-day Grand Scotland loop
A broad Scottish sampler taking in the west coast, Skye, Wester Ross and the Cairngorms. Use the daily choices to keep one worthwhile outing in focus, with a practical Perthshire finish.
5-day Scotland campervan route: west coast
A mainland loop through Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Glenfinnan and Oban. Five hire days suit one main outing a day, with the final night closer to Renfrew.
7-day Scotland campervan route: west coast and Skye
A week-long version of the west-coast journey, with the route shortened by going straight from Loch Lomond to Oban. Book the Mallaig ferry and leave Skye before the final return morning.
