Motorhome Stopovers in Thurso

Thurso is the most northerly town on the British mainland, sitting on the north Caithness coast facing the Pentland Firth and the Orkney Islands. The A9 — the main spine road for motorhomers touring the north of Scotland — terminates effectively here, with the A836 continuing west toward Tongue and the North Coast 500 route. Thurso is a working town rather than a tourist set piece, but that's part of its appeal: good services, a harbour, and an honest Caithness character that suits motorhomers at the end or beginning of a serious northern tour.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified overnight stops in and around Thurso — essential knowledge this far north, where options can be limited and planning ahead matters. Motorhome-friendly stops here suit those completing the NC500, crossing to Orkney from nearby Scrabster, or simply pushing to the top of the map.
