## Description

If you are looking for a dog friendly, deluxe, custom built, fully equipped campervan for a tour of the North Coast 500 or the Highlands of Scotland then you have come to the right place.  We are Coocoo Campers and were born from a love of vans, the Highlands of Scotland and the positive mental health benefits that they can provide!

Effie was freshly converted in July 2024 and she is a super boujie, relaxing haven.  Designed by myself, I chose a unique design and a layout which I thought was the best use of space.  Effie has a fixed bed above a garage which has plenty of space for SUPs and your luggage.

Effie has a wee shower room and porta-potti with a mirror, a fully kitted out kitchen with a gas hob and oven, and a microwave, a hot &amp; cold tap over a sink and a fridge/freezer.  She has hook up for when you are on a campsite but also an inverter and solar panels so she can be run off grid for a good couple of days before she needs charged.  

Effie comes decked out with bedding, towels, cleaning products and curtains for all the windows and sunroof.  She also has a Marshall speaker and a TV if you want some evening entertainment.  She has plenty of storage in the van too as well as a diesel heater and an extractor fan so you'll definitely not be cold.  Effie has a pull out double bed, easily assembled where the L shaped seating area is and it's super comfy.

We welcome smallish well behaved dogs.

Feel free to check out the blog post on my website, Coocoo Campers which has lots of information on the NC500 and great places to check out along the route.

We had an amazing week travelling the NC500 in Effie!
Fiona made our experience exploring the highlands very easy due to great communication, and provided amazing knowledge of places to visit. 
We would highly recommend Effie to singles or couples as we were very comfortable with everything we needed to hand.

### Kate - 5.0/5
*September 2025*

Handover was fantastic,  she explained everything and we could work the van well. We had a hiccup on day 2 and broke a key but Fiona was very responsive and we were on the road again. We traveled where we wanted and the beds were comfy. The van was easy to drive and we had room when traveling. Drop off was planned and easy. 
 

### Innes - 4.0/5
*June 2025*

Handover was really simple and well explained- little booklet had everything we needed and van drove well.
Travelled from Inverness through the Fife coast and back up through the caringorms with no issues.
Fiona was very accommodating and communicative and even brought back some items we’d left behind. Excellent experience all in all! 

### Anthony - 5.0/5
*June 2025*

Absolutely incredible trip around the NC500 and the camper was fantastic.

Prior to pickup Fi was so helpful and answered all questions we had. Upon collection she was so welcoming and thorough in showing us everything the camper had to offer.

I would highly recommend Fi and would almost certainly book with her again. 

Thanks for helping make our trip unforgettable!

### Greg - 5.0/5
*March 2025*

Had an amazing week away travelling around the Highlands in Fiona's van Effie. Fiona was very flexible with dropping off the van when our flight got delayed and made the return of keys at the end of the trip nice and easy. Fiona gave us lots of tips for our trip and the van was cosy and warm during our winter stay. Would highly recommend coo coo campers for your trip 

### Dan - 5.0/5
*October 2024*

We hired &#39;Effie,&#39; a beautifully converted camper van, for a mini break with our two small dogs and had an amazing time. Fiona, the owner, was fantastic—she even let us leave our car at her place while we continued our Scottish road trip. The van was a pleasure to drive and handle, and the living space was top-notch, complete with running hot and cold water, a shower, toilet, a ready-made bed, a cozy living area, and a kitchenette. It truly felt like a home away from home. Although it was a sh...

### Lionel - 5.0/5
*October 2024*

We had an excellent experience with the Effie van which is very well appointed and very comfortable.
 Fiona is very friendly, she was kind enough to bring the van directly to Inverness airport which was very convenient.
 We had a lovely 5 day break taking in the beautiful scenery of the Highlands, particularly the Isle of Skye.
 We hope to return to Scotland and will not hesitate to rent Effie again for new adventures!

### Marie - 5.0/5
*September 2024*

Great experience.
 Using Fiona&#39;s campervan was an incredible experience.
 First of all she welcomed us at the airport. We did the check in, and she gave us lots of useful advice and good addresses. It was really a good experience for our short stay (4 nights) allowing us to see a lot of things to discover this magnificent country.
 We went along Loch Ness, went around the Isle of Skye and returned via GlenFinnan.
 The camper was easy to use and very comfortable. Especially the bedding. We sle...
