OpenPlan your Highland trip
The West Highlands reward slower travel
Big landscapes, small roads, changing weather and fewer facilities than many visitors expect. The most rewarding campervan trips usually cover less ground, stay longer in each area and keep a backup plan.
Allow more time and share the road
A short distance can still take longer than expected on Highland roads. Main routes such as the A82 are also essential everyday connections for communities, businesses and services. Drive steadily, check your mirrors and, when a queue forms behind you, use the next safe and legal lay-by or pull-in to let traffic pass.
Plan the basics
Water, waste, fuel, food and toilets may be further apart than expected. Refill before it becomes urgent.
Keep plans flexible
Weather, busy areas, limited signal and full stays can change the plan. Save a suitable backup before setting off.
Enjoy Lochaber. Help protect it.
