About Oldshoremore Beach Layby

Oldshoremore is a spectacular hidden beach near Kinlochbervie on the far northwest coast — white shell sand, turquoise water and extraordinary solitude. The beach car park allows informal overnight stays and is one of the most beautiful wild camping equivalents for a motorhome anywhere in Scotland. Note the access road is single-track and not suitable for large motorhomes over 6 metres. A short walk over the headland reveals further beaches at Polin and Clash.

Facilities & Amenities

⚠️ No facilities — be fully self-sufficient
🚐 Motorhome Tip Access road narrow — medium campervans only. Not suitable for large motorhomes. One of Scotland's most spectacular but less-visited beaches. Worth the effort.
⚠️ Vehicle Size Restriction This location is not suitable for large motorhomes. Access roads are narrow and pitches limited in size. Campervans and smaller motorhomes only. Check your vehicle dimensions before attempting access.

Responsible Motorhoming

⚠️ Scottish Outdoor Access Code: The Scottish Outdoor Access Code does NOT apply to motor vehicles. You cannot simply park anywhere. When using informal lay-bys and car parks: do not block roads or passing places, dispose of waste responsibly at designated facilities, support local businesses, and never park close to residential properties or cemeteries. Keep all activity inside your vehicle — no awnings, chairs, or tables outside in public areas.
