We think motorhoming is easy and we want you to think that too. That’s why we have tried to answer all your questions and concerns below.

Is car parking provided?
We have off road parking available at our depot, although it is within our complex please note this is outside parking and is left at your own risk.
What time can I collect my Motorhome?
We aim to be as flexible as possible as it’s your holiday, so please ask if you would like different timings. Collections are usually between 2-4 pm and returns are by 11am to ensure we have time to clean before handing over to our next customers.
Do I need to bring any cutlery or plates and mugs?
Everything you need to cook, eat and drink with is provided. You will also have a kettle for the all essential morning tea or coffee.
Can I drink the water from the tap?
Whilst it is safe to do so we personally prefer bottled water for drinking and use the tap water for washing.
Will I fall out of the raised beds?
Our electric drop down beds all have a safety net.
Will I be able to cook a proper meal?
The kitchen is perfect for cooking anything you like.
I don’t feel happy about having to use the on board toilet for a number 2!
There is nothing to worry about, the cleaning chemical used will breakdown the waste to a liquid. And emptying the waste tank is really easy and clean.
I’ve still got a question – what do I do?
You can call us on 0345 034 8676, chat with us online or send us an email to bookings@heycampers.co.uk
Wild Camping / Off Grid and do I need a generator
There are many places in Scotland or events and festivals where wild camping / off grid is the only option. All our motorhomes are set up for wild camping, they have onboard leisure batteries, solar panels and you can run your heating, fridge and hot water from your gas bottle.
We would however recommend a generator if you are looking to be off grid for longer that a couple of days as the leisure battery does run down and will need a top up every now and then.
