Motorhome Stopovers in Highland Council

Highland Council is the largest local authority area in the UK by land area, covering around a third of Scotland's land mass. The North Coast 500 route alone takes in sea lochs, mountain passes, wild beaches and fishing villages that look like something from a Norwegian postcard. Ben Nevis (1,345m) is the highest point in the British Isles, Loch Ness has been drawing hopeful visitors since the 1930s, and Glencoe is the most dramatic glen in Scotland.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified overnight stops across the Highlands — because the distances between services can be extreme and the right pub stopover in the right glen can make the difference between a good trip and a very long cold night.

Overnight Stops Across the Highlands

  • Pub stopovers — Highland pubs from Inverness to Tongue that genuinely welcome motorhomers overnight
  • Remote lay-bys — verified stops on the NC500 and throughout the Highland glens
  • Member-verified listings — reviewed by motorhomers who know the Highland roads and distances
