Helping you plan places to explore
2019, saw two parents with two young children make the best decision of their lives by purchasing Bolan, our Silver VW T6 Highline.
Since then we have become avid van adventurers, hikers, nature explorers and local food champions. We are always looking for places to have the most fun to ensure we have the best family getaways.
Our travel blog and interactive map will help serve you to find places to stay, visit and hike in the most spectacular nature spots.

Campsite Vlog
Essential Kit
Cadac Pro Chef
This multipurpose gas BBQ comes with 4 interchangeable cooking surfaces and a pot stand as well as the pot and lid, which I find so versatile and a useful addition to the stove I already have in the van.
Citronella Flares
Not only do they prevent you being bitten but provide a lovely light around camp, partifularly if you haven't set up a campfire.
Cool Bag Rucksack
Fed up with carring a coolbag over my shoulder this has been a great purchase as we often picnic during the day.
Drawstring Make-Up Bag
A must for every gal! Fed up of rummaging around cases for toiletry items, this is my only answer and its great!
Enders Deluxe Camping Toilet
We found this is easy to keep clean and was excellent for my potting training todder as well as us adults. A total necessity during Covid-19 and will now entice us to do more wild camping

Ok, this is luxurious, however the sheer ease and speed at cooking pizzas, coupled with minimal washing up after is a clear winner with our camping family.

Awesome toasted snacks, possibilities are endless!

This self inflating mattress we put on top of the rock and roll bed and in the pop top for extra comfort, no aches and pains and a comfy sleep
