Up to 4 in the VW’s (or two adults and three wee ones), two in the Bongo and Landrover.

Everything you need for a fantastic campervaning experience. We have kept extras to a minimum and included just about everything in the daily rate. So you will get your vehicle, bedding, crockery, pots and pans, sat nav/gps, hot water bottle, blanket, outdoor chairs and table, gas, full fuel tank, usb’s and if there is anything else then please just ask!

Let us know if you need a bike rack, outdoor cooker, solar shower, extra bedding, towels or chairs.

You can set up camp in most unenclosed public areas but there are some exceptions which are well signposted (including all passing places on small roads). You must respect the environment, local population and other campers and make sure you bury your poop and take all your rubbish away with you.

Yes. We welcome dogs. But we also have to make sure that our non-doggy customers have a nice, clean van to hire so we ask that you keep the dogs off the upholstery and return the van without any reminders that your dog has been there that couldn’t be dealt with in a normal clean between hires.

All our campers are thoroughly cleaned between hires but some of our vans are kept dog-free so that customers with allergies don’t need to worry. Please make us aware if you have an allergy when booking.

We advise people to do a supermarket shop in Edinburgh before you leave as the choice is broader and the prices lower than the small shops in countryside. There are plenty of supermarkets near the pick up point so we will set you off in the right direction. Scotland is very good at catering for vegetarians and vegans but if you are a vegetarian or vegan or have a special dietary need we’d recommend that you stock up before leaving.

Yes, fully comprehensive insurance is included in the price for one driver provided they meet the driving licence criteria. Extra drivers are £5 each per day. Please note that insurance is subject to confirmation of ID and security deposit.

No, our campervans do not have toilets but there are plenty of toilet facilities at campsites and on tourist routes.

As little or as much as you want.

From your first point of contact to the time you return the van Big Sky Campers will be on hand to answer questions and help you get the most out of your campervan and your trip.  When you collect the van we will go over all the nitty gritty like how to pop the roof, make the bed(s), run the heater, add water and more.  If you forget anything when you are on the road you are welcome to call and we will help.

All our vans are kept in tip top condition and are serviced regularly.  However, if you do have a problem all the vans have full AA breakdown cover.  The best thing to do is to call us and we will make sure that the AA or a local garage get to you as quickly as possible.

It depends on which van you choose.  The VW vans return around 45-52 miles per gallon whereas the Land Rover is a little thirstier.
