New UK motorhome and campervan rules are described as a "mixed bag" following calls for a specific tax to address overcrowding on popular routes. The Scottish government confirmed no immediate plans for a campervan tax, despite pressure from campaigners and concerns about road capacity on routes like the North Coast 500. Some politicians support exploring charges, including number plate recognition for visiting vehicles. Discussions involve potential local council approaches, such as visitor levies, to encourage financial contributions for route upkeep, with some advocating for campervan inclusion in broader tourist taxes.
