Destination: Loch Lomond
A first campervan weekend with an evening on the loch, rather than a day spent getting there.Good for: Short approach from Renfrew; a lochside pitch and village food can make the first evening feel like a holiday.The compromise: Luss gets busy, and the A82 can be slow. This is a lively visitor village rather than a secluded Highland retreat.Use the signed visitor car parks; the pier and residential lanes are walking destinations. Lochshore permit areas have specific vehicle rules, so a camping permit does not automatically provide a campervan pitch.Read the full Loch Lomond campervan guide
Loch Lomond first weekend
One lochside night, a gentle walk and time to learn the van. Luss gives this first weekend a clear base close enough for an easy return to Renfrew.
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.
6-day Skye via Glenfinnan
Six hire days with two full days on Skye: first settle in Glencoe, cross via Glenfinnan and Mallaig, then spend three nights at a Portree base. The fifth day is the separate journey south, leaving a sensible final morning.
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.
Loch Lomond & Glencoe Campervan Route
Collect in Renfrew at 14:00, settle into Luss for night one, then head through Tyndrum and Rannoch Moor to Glencoe. The main walk is the Lochan Trail, so you can enjoy the glen without making this a mountain-hiking holiday.
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.
