Why Choose Edinburgh for Your Campervan Trip?
Edinburgh — a city worth exploring
Edinburgh Castle sits on Castle Rock, a 130-million-year-old volcanic plug that has dominated the city skyline since the Iron Age, and inside it holds the Honours of Scotland — the oldest crown jewels anywhere in the British Isles. The Royal Mile stretches downhill from the castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, passing the National Museum of Scotland where Dolly the Sheep is displayed. Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano rising 251 metres above the city, gives a full panorama from Leith docks to the Firth of Forth. The Scott Monument, built in 1840, towers over Princes Street Gardens and the Royal Botanic Garden covers 70 acres in Inverleith.
Glasgow lies just 67 km west along the M8, and the university town of St Andrews is 80 km north-east across the Firth of Forth. Roads out of Edinburgh are well maintained, though some Highland routes demand a motorhome suited to single-track sections with passing places.
With Goboony, you hire your campervan directly from local Edinburgh owners at peer-to-peer prices, choosing from a wide range of vehicles. Owners offer collection points across the city, from Leith and Portobello to Morningside, so your trip starts wherever suits you best.
Best time to visit
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe fills every stage in the city each August and is the world's largest arts festival, while Edinburgh's Hogmanay between 29 December and 1 January draws huge crowds to Princes Street. Campsites within 15 km of Edinburgh book out weeks ahead in summer. For the best choice of campervans on Goboony, book your hire 8 to 10 weeks before arrival.
Spring and early autumn bring lower peer-to-peer rates from local owners, quieter campsites around Edinburgh and comfortable driving through the Borders and Lothians.
