Motorhome Stopovers in Lairg

Lairg sits at the southern end of Loch Shin in Sutherland, in the far north of Scotland. It’s a small but strategically important junction village — the A839 meets the A836 here, making it a natural hub for motorhomers routing through the north Highlands. From here, roads fan out towards Tongue, Durness, and the North Coast 500, or you can head southeast on the A9 via Bonar Bridge.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified overnight stops in the area — useful since facilities this far north are sparse and knowing what’s reliable matters. Lairg is a practical base for an early start into the far northwest or a convenient overnight stop after a long day’s drive through Sutherland.
