North Coast 500 Luxury Campervan Hire

Experience one of Scotland’s most iconic road trips in understated comfort with a luxury, off-grid campervan from Wingbeat Escapes.

Based in the Scottish Borders and within reach of the North Coast 500, our handcrafted campervans are designed for travellers who want freedom, space and refinement — without compromising on comfort or sustainability.

Explore the North Coast 500 at Your Own Pace

The North Coast 500 is Scotland’s ultimate coastal road trip, circling the far north of the Highlands through dramatic sea cliffs, remote beaches, mountain passes and quiet fishing villages.

Travelling the NC500 by campervan allows you to slow down, adapt your route to the weather, and linger in places that resonate — whether that’s a windswept headland, a secluded beach or a quiet lochside stop away from the main flow of traffic.

Wingbeat Escapes is ideal for:

  • Couples seeking a refined, immersive road-trip experience

  • Travellers who value flexibility and solitude

  • Guests who want to explore responsibly and thoughtfully

Why Choose Wingbeat Escapes for the North Coast 500?

Our campervans are purpose-built for off-grid travel through Scotland’s most remote and dramatic landscapes.

Each Wingbeat van offers:

  • Thoughtfully designed interiors with a calm, luxury feel

  • Off-grid capability including solar power and onboard systems

  • Comfortable sleeping, cooking and living space

  • A quieter, more immersive way to experience the landscape

We focus on quality over quantity, offering a considered alternative to mass-market campervan hire for the NC500.

Starting Your NC500 Journey from the Scottish Borders

Wingbeat Escapes is based in the Scottish Borders, making it possible to incorporate the North Coast 500 as part of a longer Scottish road trip.

This approach suits travellers who:

  • Prefer a slower build-up to the Highlands rather than a single long drive

  • Want to combine the NC500 with other regions of Scotland

  • Are looking for a more flexible, less pressured start to their journey

Travel Responsibly along the NC500

The North Coast 500 passes through fragile coastal and rural communities. Responsible travel is essential to protecting these landscapes and the people who live there.

Wingbeat Escapes encourages:

  • Respectful parking and overnight stays

  • Adherence to local access guidance and signage

  • Low-impact travel that supports long-term sustainability

Our approach is about experiencing the route with care, not rushing through it.
