First time in a camper, so exciting. For the first time, I took an Uber from the airport to the pickup location, at a barn somewhere outside a small village about a half-hour drive away. It took a bit of searching because there was no exact address, but I did receive clear directions in PDF format. The camper was neatly ready, and the people were nice. Because my internet wasn't working properly, check-in was done simply with pen and paper; well organized. We had ordered a 4-person camper, but it was replaced by a 6-person van (reported in advance and budget-neutral). Fine, lots of space inside, fully equipped. We had a group chat so we could contact each other directly to discuss any small questions we had. Big on the inside means big on the outside too; it did take some getting used to: steering wheel on the right, shifting gears on the left. And the camper is big, so you have to be careful on the small, narrow roads, and parking in the city is a whole different story. We drove clockwise from Edinburgh along the edges of Scotland. In the 14 days we were there, we stayed at a proper campsite once, really wild-parked a few times in a parking lot, but mostly at a motorhome pitch behind a barrier, which is a bit "safer" and allows you to store and restock your belongings. All in all, a great experience; we have become quite enthusiastic about campers, and we will definitely do it again. May 2026
