September might just be the best-kept secret for Scottish motorhome holidays. The high season crowds start to fade, the roads become quieter, and yet the landscapes remain just as breath-taking. If you’re looking for a more peaceful, cost-effective way to explore Scotland, this is the time to do it.

More Freedom, Less Stress
With schools back in session and the peak tourism wave past its peak, September offers a calmer travel experience. Campsites are less crowded, top sights like Glencoe, Loch Lomond or Skye are more enjoyable without queues, and roads are easier to navigate - especially for first-time motorhome travellers.

Prices Drop - Without Compromise

Another bonus? Rental rates are typically lower in September. You still get a premium Go Explore motorhome or campervan with all the comfort and convenience, just at better value. That means more room in the budget for enjoying great local food, visiting attractions or extending your stay a little longer.

The Weather Can Still Surprise You

While Scotland is known for its changeable climate, September often delivers crisp mornings, golden evenings and the occasional stretch of warm sunshine. With fewer midges and beautiful autumn tones beginning to show, it’s a fantastic time to travel - especially for photography or nature lovers.

Perfect for Couples, Retirees and Flexible Families

Whether it’s a romantic break, a slower-paced adventure, or a flexible family trip before the October half term, September holidays suit those who want freedom and quiet. You can go where the weather takes you, stop longer in your favourite places, and take advantage of quieter campsites and attractions.
