#camping #campervans #ebikes If you relied solely on what you read on social media then it would seem that every Scot is prejudiced against campervans and motorhomes and will do anything to make you feel unwelcome. The reality is very different. Scotland welcomes RESPONSIBLE campervanners and motorhomers and a lot of work is going on at the moment to create a much better infrastructure for overnight park-ups. However, we are asked to observe a few common-sense rules…

Hello Cameron we’re new to your channel and i must say totally agree with you, We’ve been coming to Scotland for over fifty years camping/ caravaning/ and small Motorhome for last ten years and all ways use small sites or off grid were it’s quite and always use local communities and local shops , We keep well clear of these over priced sites We also use Aires and contribute to the owners now in in our seventies still come to Scotland for a month every year from Yorkshire and where ever we camp never leave any trace which is so nice to do. Thankyou Chris⛰️
I noticed a sign on a motorhome window in South Ayrshire it said, “Highland Council Resident” what’s that all about?
Are tourist’s vans being targeted up there or something?
No idea Bill. Sorry…
What a sensible well balanced vlog. Well said that man.
Well said cameron
We did it last week in a hired motorhome. It was amazing and everyone we met was really welcoming. However, Idiots will be idiots. Doesn’t matter if it’s wild camping, hiking, campervans, there’s some idiots everywhere. Absolutely loved Scotland.
Agree with you on most of the points Cameron. Well said. However, the point on campervans not leaving their parking space early in the morning i don’t. Dog owners or walkers don’t have any more rights than the campers when it comes to parking spaces. After all, these walkers/dog owners have a lot more freedom to go wherever and whenever they like compared to people in campervans. There are as many irresponsible dog owners who leave their plastic bags with dog waste in them hanging on trees or beside a pathway rather than take it to a bin or home. If someone has decided to park up overnight in a carpark in Scotland you have to assume it was through desperation and/or tiredness rather than choice. 👍
i agree about the “moving on by 7am” thing – dog walkers or walkers wanting to park don’t have extra special rights/entitlement. I’m also not too keen on this idea that people living in these areas have greater entitlement either. they bought a house there perhaps? well, they own the house and garden, but not the local countryside. anyone can visit.
Excellent and like others I am in total agreement.
People and businesses who offer ‘Free’ overnight stops for campers in exchange for the campers patronage, need to be aware that they too need to contribute to the campers human needs, like access to toilets etc. Its not a new phenomenon, People do actually need to relieve themselves.
Most campervans and motorhomes have on-board facilities these days. Even small VW’s like mine. Most campervanners who overnight outwith campsites will visit a campsite every three days or so to empty waste.
Cranky got one 😂
Nicola sturgeon has a camper van 👍🏻
“Had” a motorhome. Think it’s still in police custody!!!
Returning from fort William to Glasgow with my caravan in tow end of September early Saturday morning I was staggered to see nearly every lay-by full of campervans worse still I had driven to achintee pub at base of Ben Nevis 5am that we’d to find 28 of the 30 spaces taken by campers god help the locals mid summer must be a nightmare
Just subscribed on the basis of this one video. Exceptional & thank you for thevery soundadvice.
Are you employed by the Scottish Tourist Board now? I thought you were pan breid 😊
Anyone coming to my beautiful country should abide with country rules and decency or stay away,,,, bring your garbage,, take it home with you,,
Not sure I agree on the point about ‘moving on’ by a certain time. I’m an astrophotographer and landscape photographer, and I’m often nocturnal when I’m out and about, or at least sleeping/awake at odd times. So i tend to be ‘parked’ overnight and then tend to ‘camp’ i.e. ‘sleep’ mid morning, sometimes in the afternoon and a little bit more in the evening etc. I don’t carry this feeling that I have to hide anything, be ashamed of anything, as if I shouldn’t be there, like I’m doing something wrong. I think a big, and somewhat unspoken part of the issue, is that many rich folk have bought second homes in these nice places and therefore feel miffed that others are visiting the general area ‘for free’. They feel as though they ‘own’ more than just the house and garden they bought, extending their ‘mental ownership’ to the countryside, the beaches etc. But the sight of campervans and wild campers generally makes it feel less ‘exclusive’. Hence the scapegoating and blanket hostility.
I can’t disagree with anything you say. Having traveled the western isles on a couple of occasions I have been surprised by the number of campers that do not know of the facilities at sea terminals. Fresh water grey and black waste disposal and bins for rubbish. On Barra water is available at the airport and Vatersay village hall as well as the sea terminals. I haven’t traveled the NC500 yet as it is far too busy, but I will in good time. I just hope the welcome is as good as the islands.
We have a space outside our exit gate so larger vehicles can turn more easily into the lane.
“Wild” campers use it.
No probs if they pull well in .
Surprised how many £90k camper vanners shit in a bucket and chuck it out on the “layby” in the morning.
Camper vanning getting politicised . . News companies
