Since 2015, it is also forbidden by law to park campers outside of local campsites at night. So we recommend you camping at local campsites. You do not need to book them in advance. You just show up.

Not all campers can go to the Highlands but our VW Transporter Camper Van can. Those vehicles are 4x4 campervans. Therefore, you can go on F-roads during summer when the road and weather conditions allow.

Campervans do not include a shower and toilet in the vehicle. We recommend using restrooms and bathrooms at local campsites and swimming pools available all over the country.
Swimming pools opens usually every day until late and are cheap to go. Going to local swimming pools is a relaxing way to end a full day of traveling: you can relax in a hot tub, use the steam bath, etc. During the day, you can use restrooms in gas stations, travel information centers, and some shops.
