Yes of course! You can check available dates here, and book your WildTrax experience online. If you are looking to book a Lodge & Landy combination deal, please get in touch with us to book on your behalf, since this involves two calendars.

You may have read that off-roading/green laning isn’t legal here in Scotland as it is in England. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code allows the “right to roam” which allows you to access land by foot for recreation - this does not apply to motorised vehicles.

WildTrax is not an off-roading company, what we offer is an alternative to a traditional campervan, with 4×4 driving capability that allows you to tackle conditions, weather and routes that campers and motorhomes can’t, such as the narrow switch backs of the Applecross Pass. Therefore, driving off of the legal sealed road network is strictly prohibited.

The Road Traffic Act 1988 states that you may "drive a mechanically propelled vehicle on any land within fifteen yards of a road, being a road on which a motor vehicle may lawfully be driven, for the purpose only of parking the vehicle on that land." Landowner permission does need to be sought for private land and this does not apply to camping.

For any driving that is not on a sealed road surface, you must have prior written permission from the land owner, which you must present to WildTrax prior to your hire. For example, if you have permission to use a forestry track for an event.

In these cases please always use care and caution when driving on uneven surfaces, especially where boggy. Even the best 4×4’s can sink on the wrong terrain and if you are found to be somewhere you shouldn't be, you will be charged for a recovery.

Our vehicles are fitted with trackers, and off-road driving outside of these guidelines will result in a forfeit of the damage deposit.

Please make sure to read the following resources before your trip: 
- Enjoying the Highlands in your motorhome or campervan - A Highland Council Issued Guidance Document
- Scottish Outdoor Access Code - Guidance for campers, motorhomes and roof top tents
- The Road Traffic Act 1988 - Section 34 in relation to parking

Our online booking system shows you the live availability for each vehicle, however if you are unsure, or you would like to discuss availability over the phone, then give us a call or drop us an email. Sometimes a day will be marked as unavailable due to a later than normal return or early pick up, so we might be able to work out a plan to accommodate your trip with amended times.

We are proud to now offer no minimum number of nights when booking your WildTrax Adventure. We offer Bookings for 1-2 Nights, 3-6 Nights, 7+ Nights. The longer your stay, the less the the rate per day will be. View our Rates when you select each Landy on the dropdown above to see each cars Rates Per Night.

Sure, subject to availability there is no maximum to the amount of nights you hire for. What’s more, we offer progressive discounts for longer stays, see "what is your minimum number of nights."

As explained in "Can I Drive Off Road" - access rights enjoyed in Scotland, such as Wild Camping, do not include motor vehicles and there is no specific guidance on camper vans, motorhomes and vehicles with roof tents in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code other than what is mentioned here.

There is no legal right to park beside the road overnight, however the Highland Council have issued a document that says "Roadside parking does take place but there is a legal distinction between parking
, which can take place in laybys or car parks, and camping which is not permitted in these locations."

If you are parking for the night, please be very aware that you are not permitted to "camp" - this means no camp set up such as awnings, chairs, tables. You will park solely to sleep and no activities outwith the vehcile are permitted.

For this reason, and since WildTrax is all about experiencing the beauty of Scotland's scenery coupled with an epic camping experience, we always recommend staying in campsites.

There are plenty of beautiful campsites in The Highlands that already enjoy the most incredible coastal, loch-side or scenic views. They also have the facilities you think you won't need, but trust us you will be grateful for! These range from the standard toilet and shower facilities as well as washing up areas to keep your kit clean, but some also offer free equipment use (such as paddleboards and kayaks), fish and chip shops, bars, and little shops for the basics. It's also a fantastic way to meet likeminded people of an evening after day on the open road. We would encourage visitors to use official campsites or designated overnight parking areas. These sites also support the local economy and they are a great base to explore the vast, rich and varied natural beauty of Scotland.

If you fancy a wilder camping experience, why not add a ground tent package to your booking, then park up safely and hike into the hills with some kit for a more rugged experience.

From March – October we hire our vehicles out as Expedition Hire (with rooftop tent & camping kit). In November, December, January and February due to the cold weather and the increased chance of snow, which can come with treacherous driving conditions, we find this is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of our Lodge and Landy combo deal, offering hire of the Land Rover simply as a vehicle (not with camping kit) combined with a stay in our lodges. All the fun of the car but with a cosy log fire, comfy bed and warm shower! For the “die-hard” camper we do have the option of winter camping, or we offer our vehicles as Car Hire Only. We do run a screening for those wishing to camp over winter to make sure the risks and provisions are understood, so please get in touch if this is you.

Get in touch to find out more or visit Ancarraig Lodges to book directly.
