Dog Friendly Campervans for Hire
Scotland
We get a lot of enquiries from people about wanting to bring their four legged friend along for the ride when they hire a campervan. Dog friendly camping Scotland is easy with Big Sky Campers because, as dog owners ourselves, we always welcome a well-behaved pooch. And why wouldn’t you want to share your campervan adventure with them?
Why would you leave them at home?
You are going to immerse yourself in some of the most beautiful, wild landscapes in the UK, so you know that your dog is going to have as much of an adventure as you are. Racing up a Monroe, swimming in a Loch, running on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It would almost be mean to leave them at home!
Most campsites welcome dogs
Dog friendly camping Scotland is available at most campsites as long as you keep them on a lead when on site. Although perhaps the most rewarding times can be had when off the beaten track, wild camping with your trusted friend by your side. It’s a good idea to have a look at the Outdoor Access Code here.
Things to remember about taking your dog in a campervan
There are a few things to remember when travelling with your dog: bring a bed with you; have a long lead with you so you can secure them to the van if you are on a site; don’t forget a dog towel for a good rub down after a days’ messing about; and, most importantly, never leave your dog alone in the campervan for a prolonged period of time. If you’re travelling with a pet, surely you want to make sure they enjoy the experience as much as you do, so you won’t want to leave them alone in the van for long anyway! Take a look at our dog policy here.
Rules for the owners, not the dogs
Of course there are a few rules: no canine lounging about on the upholstery, and always clean up after your dog, but the VW campers are plenty big enough to accommodate your dog in comfort. Not all our vans are available for dogs, as we like to keep at least one or two doggy free for those travellers with allergies, so if you are planning to bring a pooch along on your holiday, please check with us on the availability of a dog van before booking.

Highlight of our trip for sure!!
We spent a week traveling around Scotland, and the camper was easy to set up at our overnight stops. Its size was ideal for navigating some of the tighter roads, and driving it was a breeze—especially since we opted for the automatic transmission. One tip: remember to bring a USBC cable for the CarPlay satnav! We forgot ours, but George kindly loaned us one.
Dropping off the camper was just as easy as picking it up, and the location of Big Sky Campers is very accessible. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our rental experience. We’re already looking forward to hiring from Big Sky Campers again in the future!
The stay was fantastic! The van was ideal for this road trip in Scotland, it is super well equipped, you don't have to plan anything. Big Sky Camper remains available quickly if you have the slightest problem with the van.
We recommend with your eyes closed!
A super first impression.
The communications leading up to the hire day were very good and detailed.
On the day we picked up the van we got a full demo of how the van operated etc I’m aware of other companies who just send you a video. We thought this was very important. The van was immaculate when we picked it up.
The van itself had everything you needed for a trip. Cooking facilities, fridge, charging points, bedding, towels.
The van is easy to drive and can be parked in a standard parking space.
We asked a few questions prior to picking the van and always got a prompt response. I got the impression that Rob would try and do whatever he could to ensure his clients had everything they needed to have the best time on their travels,
This was also quite key for us they love dogs and had vans for hire catering for dogs.
All in we had a superb 5 nights and would highly recommend Big Sky Campers,
Paul, Susan and Frankie.
From time to time I encounter exceptional companies. And this is one of them. This is how you do the business. Rob goes beyond and tries to provide great holiday experience for his customers. We didn't need to be afraid of being ripped off or charged extra because of made up damages, strange insurance, extra equipment etc. Which is a common case in rental companies. Instead there is very human approach. The desire is provide a great experience for the customer. Money is not the strongest and the only motivation here. And that we really appreciate.
We wish all the best in the upcoming years! Keep it up :)
Thanks to Rob & Alex for being so helpful during the whole process! Highly recommend :)
Absolutely would rent there again! Warm recommendation for everyone who is looking for van for the holidays.
Great value(almost half price compared to big renting companies!), and they won't scam you out of your deposit!
Despite my first time driving a van, it was super easy. Thank you again to George, who sent us from and to the station, saving us precious time and money. Definitely recommend Big Sky Campers!
The cars are in very good condition.
Thoroughly enjoyed our time away. Thank you.
Quality vans, very good advice for the trip. Quick and efficient exchanges even during the rental and transfers from Inverkeithing or ferrytoll to go to the airport.
Thanks Rob and Alex!!
Everyone at Big Sky Campers was really, really helpful, friendly and professional with excellent customer service and as a plus, their website gives you some great tips for places to visit and how to make the most of your holiday.
Highly recommended, I am already looking to book my next break with Big Sky Campers and if you are looking to book a campervan break, you will not be disappointed!
They picked us up from the train station to the warehouse and vice versa when we returned the van.
Speaking of the van, it was delivered in excellent quality, with everything we needed, as promised.
It made our journey in the Higlands so pleasant.
Thank you so much for your excellent service. I definitely recommend Big Sky Campers for van rental.

Thank you
She was absolutely amazing and handled a few of the dodgy roads with absolute ease.
The van was in amazing condition, was comfortable and really was just great fun!
The team also were so helpful and nice to us when we picked the van, a pleasure to deal with.
An all round excellent experience!
Pick-up, hand-over and return of the hire was well arranged and super professional. Thanks to Rob and the team, we always felt in good hands!
Best, Martin and familiy
I can only recommend booking Wallace or one of the other camper vans with Big Sky Campers to explore Scotland! I especially liked the personal and individual style of the cars and service compared to the other car rentals!
Rob is very helpful and you notice right away that he loves what he is doing :)
Can only recommend - 5 stars :)
Car was perfect and we enjoyed it. VW T2 gave us retro celebrity feeling 😀
I can’t thank Big Sky Campers enough for making the whole experience so wonderful. They did a fantastic job in helping us plan our route and we got to see so many incredible sights as a result.
Alex and Rob were extremely accommodating, they answered any questions we had and gave us a thorough tour of the van before setting off. They were also super reassuring as I hadn’t driven a vintage van before and this extra level of care made the journey that much more rewarding ????
Thank you both for such an incredible experience, I will be recommending you to all of my family & friends!!
Right from the start we could not fault the service in any way, from the initial communications sent, the subsequent follow up's, through to the pick up (having never driven a campervan - Rob explained / demonstrated very thoroughly how everything worked), and finally the hand back....there was not a single hitch along the way.
Magnus was brand new and a dream to drive - totally immaculate throughout and very comfortable to sleep in.
Rob and Alex could not have been more helpful and just generally absolutely lovely people - and I really appreciated that they have a secure facility to keep your own car in while you are away.
I wouldn't think twice about recommending Big Sky Campers to anyone thinking about a roadtrip, we'll definitely be back and already planning our next trip away.
