Stephen Neil, 60, was last seen in the village of Ae in Dumfries at around 7pm on Saturday, February 14.
It is believed he is driving his old ‘L’ reg campervan which has been painted matt black and has green wheels and trim.
Police Scotland has enlisted the help of mountain rescue teams and dispatched a helicopter to scour for the missing camper.
Officers are also appealing for the help of the public in tracing Stephen.
He is described as White, 5ft9 in height, has blue eyes and is balding with very short grey/white hair. It is not known what he is wearing.
Inspector Lloyd Caven said: “We believe Mr Neil may have travelled in his campervan to the Galloway Forrest area. That is obviously a huge area to search, so to assist local officers, we have enlisted the help of local mountain rescue colleagues and the Force’s helicopter.
“We appreciate that the weather, road conditions and remoteness of the area is an issue, however, if anyone has been around there or has seen Mr Neil or his vehicle overnight or today, we’d ask that they contact police.
“Officers are checking CCTV, doing door-to-door enquiries, and have been liaising with various local agencies with regard to looking out for him.”
Information can be passed to police via 101. Please quote incident number 0211 of Sunday, February 15 2026 when calling.
