Blackside Retreats

Extend Your Scottish Adventure

Exclusive campervan hire, paired with a stay at Blackside Cottage - explore Scotland at your own pace, then come home to comfort.

Blackside Retreats - Campervan Hire

Hiring one of our campervans complements everything Blackside Retreats stands for - unhurried, independent travel through some of Scotland's most spectacular countryside. Our small fleet of premium campervans is available to cottage guests and a limited number of independent hirers, giving you the freedom to explore by road with a welcoming base to return to.

Trace the North Coast 500, discover the west coast islands, or simply wander where the road takes you — Scotland, your way, dog in the back seat.

The Blackside Experience

What makes hiring a campervan with Blackside Retreats different is the ability to combine the cottage and the van in one trip. Start with a night at Blackside Cottage then set off refreshed and come home to comfort when the road trip's done.

It's the ideal base for a Scottish adventure, especially if you're travelling from afar and want to make the most of every day on the road.

We're only 40 minutes from the M74 and the south side of Glasgow.

Your base. Your road. Your Scotland — Your Retreat.
