Alice (motorhome) enjoying the wooded setting at the Tarland caravan and camping club site last summer. I mainly wild camp, but sometimes stop at a site for a shower and to use the washing machine. I loved the Tarland site with its friendly staff and nearby walks so much I stayed for three nights. #tarland #caravanandcampingclub #deeside #scottishvanlife #vanlifeuk #ukvanlife #motorhomelife #motorhometravels #motorhomeadventures #motorhomelifestyle #motorhomeliving #motorhome #motorhometravel #vandwellinglife #vandwelling #campsites #caravansite #homeiswhereyoupark #vanlifescotland #vanliving #vanlifedreams

There are few places that always take you to your 'happy place'. The North East coast is one of those places for me. Many a happy holiday spent here at my Gran & Papa's. #happyplace #banff #scottishsunset #beachhut #danielphotography
