Motorhomes — space for the whole family

Travelling with children? A motorhome gives you room to breathe. Separate sleeping areas, a proper kitchen and sometimes a shower mean you can keep everyone comfortable — even on rainy days. Many owners equip their vehicles with child-friendly extras.

Edinburgh — your starting point for adventure

Explore Edinburgh — before your adventure begins

Picking up your campervan in Edinburgh? Take a moment to explore the city first. Before you hit the road, a last wander is well worth it — Edinburgh has plenty to offer to build the excitement for the journey ahead.

The Edinburgh vibe

Edinburgh feels like two cities layered on top of each other. The Old Town's closes and wynds, like Advocates Close and Fleshmarket Close off the Royal Mile, hide pubs, print shops, and tiny galleries behind unassuming doorways. The Georgian New Town, with its symmetry along Heriot Row and Moray Place, offers a completely different atmosphere of elegant restraint. Leith, the old port district, has carved out its own identity with converted warehouses, independent cinemas at the Cameo on Tollcross, and a waterfront that feels increasingly confident. Stockbridge, tucked in the valley below the New Town, has a village character with charity bookshops and neighbourhood cafes along Raeburn Place. A day exploring these layers gives you a proper sense of the city before heading north in your campervan.

Local food and markets

Stockbridge Market runs every Sunday on Saunders Street, bringing together Scottish producers selling venison, artisan oatcakes, and handmade tablet. Valvona and Crolla on Elm Row has been Edinburgh's Italian deli since 1934, stocking everything from Parmigiano to Scottish-made pasta. I.J. Mellis Cheesemonger on Victoria Street specialises in farmhouse cheeses from across Scotland and beyond, and their counter is worth a visit even if you are only browsing. For stocking up the campervan larder, the independent food shops along Bruntsfield Place and Marchmont Road offer quality bread, local honey, and craft beer from Edinburgh's growing brewery scene.

Parks and green spaces

Arthur's Seat rises 251 metres from Holyrood Park, and the walk up from St Margaret's Loch takes about 45 minutes. The views from the summit stretch from the Pentland Hills to the Firth of Forth and across to Fife. Calton Hill, a shorter climb from the east end of Princes Street, offers a different vantage point with its collection of monuments and the old City Observatory. The Water of Leith Walkway follows the river for 12 miles through the city, passing through Dean Village, where old mill buildings crowd the water's edge in a scene that feels remarkably rural. The Royal Botanic Garden in Inverleith spreads across 70 acres and is a calm start to any morning before setting off towards the Highlands.

What's on board?

The best thing about a campervan holiday: everything you need is right there with you. Most vehicles from private owners on Camplify are fully equipped — often with more care and attention than you'd find from a commercial hire company.

• Kitchenette with hob, sink and fridge

• Comfortable sleeping areas with bedding or sleeping bag option

• Shower and WC (on many models)

• Camping chairs, table and awning for outdoors

Little extras for an unforgettable experience

Many owners in Edinburgh include extras: a coffee maker, Bluetooth speaker, camping crockery or even a bike rack. Check the listing for full details — or message the owner through the Camplify messaging system.

Travelling with pets?

Many Camplify owners welcome dogs and other pets. Use the pet-friendly filter to find vehicles where your four-legged friend is welcome. Some owners even provide dog bowls and blankets.
