- After our previous encounter with a scottish local who made it very clear we were not welcome in his village camping aire we decided to look around for a campsite to relax for. few days, and we found something that really shocked us, a lovely campsite that offer a very friendly welcome to all.

When things are that good, and people that nice, it restores your faith in humanity. What a fabulous campsite ❤. For all Mandy & you give, you deserved that treat!
Free park up, shower, common room, loo & showers that’s fantastic!
What a lovely gesture 😊 … Earlier this year we spent 8 weeks touring Scotland and the Outer Hebrides and it left a lasting impression on us both. The hospitality of Scottish people made us feel so good, and now long to go back again. Enjoy 🍻
Stayed there back in November for nearly a week and Andru and the team were amazing. Loved the dogs, the set up was fab, met some great new people, clean facilities and the walking from the site was awesome 🩷 So glad you guys enjoyed it too x
What a great place to stop! In a world going crazy its good to find such human kindness - the spirit of Christmas.
Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas time and blessings for the coming year.
🌲🌲🌲🍺🍺🍺
You're absolutely correct about this world going crazy.. it's getting worse every day..
But we must rise above it and remain in our sovereignty - albeit hard! Stay strong
Isn’t it lovely that there are such lovely people out there to offer such wonderful lovely things to use. They sound so nice, and when people are like that you want to give something back don’t you.
Lovely video as always guys, have a really lovely Christmas and New Year.
Thank you for all your videos this year been brilliant.😊
That is fantastic warms the soul to see there are people like that would definitely call ❤
That campsite looked so good. What lovely owners to allow free services to full timers.
Hopefully go there sometime next year.
Merry Christmas x
Thanks for the obligatory motorhome wave today whilst driving through Fort Augustus, would loved to have stopped to say hi 👋🏼
All the best guys ❤
Next time! 👍🏻
How nice to find good people, thinking about others, and how much does it actually cost them and they have lifetime followers! You two deserve a break, and the Christmas timing just fabulous. What a great attitude, making things available to all, and the idea of utilising skills of people who are willing to pitch in. Merry Christmas and hugs to both of you.
So glad you found somewhere nice and friendly people. I'm from Stirlingshire and mum still lives beside the Kelpies, there is some beautiful scenery up there. Merry Xmas to you both, enjoy Scotland. Xxxx
Hi John, I enjoy your videos, I am from Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, I lived for over 60 years, in area
Called Loch Lomond, post office was called Ben Lomond Post office, the actual Loch Lomond is over 5 miles long and is source of water for the city of Saint John
WOW......just WOW . I never believed such amazing people existed or places like this. What a fantastric place. It proper twanged my heart strings. Id deffo have to muck in and help there and not take advantage. I always feel sad when you find for example a parking site with honesty box that people might not contribute and will take advantage. Folk with an amazing heart that put themselves out like this are a rare and beautiful thing and deserve to be praised and supported. Thanks for sharing this. It lifted my spirit more than I can say when I needed it . Thank you John and Mandy and whereever you both end up during Christmas and New years day I hope you have a proper good time. Merry Christmsas and Happy New Year to you both. Love and respect- Kenny
♥
Merry Xmas and keep well and happy. So enjoying the two of you. I’ve been with you through all your troubles and loosing Scooby. Keep loving each other and keep vlogging. 🌲☘️🐾😘
It's nobody's business but your own why you have two vans.. I have to say, the campsite you stayed at was gorgeous..
What a lovely place to find, such lovely caring people to offer that, very rare nowadays. I will definitely be visiting that sometime but make sure I give something back. Have a great Christmas, love the tree, take care both of you💚xx
Looks like a great area to explore. I will add it to my list for my grand adventure next year. Having your own spaces is a good plan as well. Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you both and happy new year. OMG what a campsite. Myself and the wife are full timers and heading back to Scotland heading to St Andrews for new year. Thank you for sharing this. God luck for 2024 to you both
It's good to hear John's leg is better, I came over after watching Louise and Emily's video a couple of weeks ago and I was wondering why you have two vans (that question has now been answered). My beard is also going white John, so you're not alone 🎅😄
Hi guys, what an absolutely fantastic place for van lifers to stay, my faith has been restored and I have earmarked for when I am next in the area. I have followed your channels for quite a while now and totally endorse everything you do and am thankful for the content you provide, both in a geographical sense and with John a practical content. Wishing you both every happiness and success with your channels in the future..
Wow Iam shocked, the owners are very generous. Merry Christmas to you both. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴🎄🏴🇺🇸🏴🇬🇧🏴🎄
New here, not sure why I hadn’t subscribed earlier. Happy Christmas to you both. The spirit of nice 😆😆😆😆😆
Thanks both ❤
I hope you are safe in this stormy weather.
I know it's a comparatively small thing in so much generous hospitality but I do like the kettle that let's you watch the water boiling!
Good to see you both in Scotland enjoying yourselves. Have a really great Christmas wherever you are, and I hope the New Year is peaceful for everyone. Xx Jo in France 🇫🇷
You guys are so happy and I to the season on this video. That first place you stayed was amazing. So well cared for and such nice amenities. I would find it hard to leave there. But then there is always something different coming up. I really enjoyed the scenery and all of this video. Of course, it might be nicer if the sun was shining but then it would not be Scotland or even England for that matter. Anyway, thanks for this treat this morning. I wish you a blessed Yule and a happy and healthy new year.
The West Highland Way Walk Is Beautiful.....Quite a few of these friendly places along the walk ! Have A Great Time ❤
Hi John and Mandy we stayed there back in Easter it was still a working progress it did not have a van life's area at that time but we could see all the work going in we had to park our motorhome at the pitches at the front if you stay on a camp sight we had to pay but we are not vanlifers just weekend warriors but we toured Scotland for a month which we enjoyed it was nice to see places were you have been as well ❤
Merry Christmas to you both and thank you for your vlogs over the past year. Let's hope 2024 brings more surprises 😁
ho ho Both, Wonderful treat that was on Xmas Eve, I was born and spent early years in Helensburgh, Grandparents had a holiday home Loch side in Luss, so memories come flooding back. Your camp site experience blows the myth about tight & dour Scots, well and truly to bits. Hope you have a great time with Rob & Archie. May the New Year be kind to you. From a not so warm Cypus at night butstill around 20c by day.
What a fabulous little campsite. Thanks for sharing guts ❤
Merry Christmas guys a year is nearly gone let’s hope 2024 brings many new blessings for all and the world sorts it’s self out
Have a wonderful Christmas both and safe journeying with good camping and lovely site owners with friendly dogs! 🤗🎄🥮🎁💝🍷🦌
That campsite hotel looks like a gingerbread house. Very apt for Christmas ❤
What a cracking site the retreat is, thanks for explanation of the 2 vans, I did wonder but it makes perfect sense. Enjoy your Christmas.
No fishing this time Mandy…nice to see both of you revisiting my patch. Keep ssfe xx
Happy Christmas 🎄
Thank you for another great year of lovely videos. I am very grateful for you both. I wish you a very happy and healthy New Year. ❤🎉

It wouldn't be Christmas without you guys ☀️☀️💥💥😎😎👌👌😍
That's agreat looking camp site enjoyed the video guys have a lovely Christmas take care and stay safe xxPat
Merry Christmas John and Mandy thanks for all your videos tremendous 👍
Oh great, now you've told the world. Should have kept this one in your pocket. Beautiful place and lovely people.
A selfish life is a lonely life.
Yep. But telling everyone something like that is free around here is like putting out a welcome sign for the homeless encampments. The UK doesn't seem to have the kind of problems like the US, but it's a chronic issue driven by substance abuse and lenient laws. Some of the loveliest places on the west coast have become dangerous cesspools.
Thank you both loved the vlog of the area , glad you are enjoying loved the back music well done good luck merry Christmas 👍👍👍🏴🏴🇬🇧🦢🥃🍸
Thanks for the video J&M. Merry Christmas and hope you both have a lovely Christmas break.
Happy Christmas John and Mandy hope to see you in 2024 weeks love you guys Rod and Ness❤️
Just watched this with Matt and Sarah while the langoustines in creamy alfredo are cooking in our log cabin in Strathpeffer. Our first Christmas together after a long friendship. Elinor XxxX
In turn I would like to wish you both A very, very Happy Christmas and all that you wish yourselves for the New Year.
All the best to you both.
Nice winter shots of Loch Lomond 👍

Take care both of you and have a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you both. Enjoy your time with Rob and Archie 🎄☃️❄️
Merry Christmas to you both too - you needs a puppy for Christmas 🐶🥰 - id recommend a bedlington ( dont shed, dont take up too much room, dont like walking in the wet weather, funny as …. ) anyhoo All the best you semi-detatched vanlifers 🤣
I'm a newbie and really like travel vlogs. Your encounter with the van beeper came up on my YT and was my first watch, this my second and I plan to do a binge watch. I'm Brit but have worked and lived abroad most of my life including now. I was born a few miles from Scotland but I'm embarrassed to admit it's not one of the 30+ countries I've been too and I'm too old now to consider a trip back to do it so your current trip is the next best thing. Safe travels and I'll be with you in spirit.....
Love you guys...Have a fantastic Christmas. What a lovely pub and site you found..A little gem. ❤❤
That looked like a great place to stay. Have a great christmas, both of you.
Loved that song at the begining.could you say what it was.love your vlogs.
Great vlog, as always. Wishing you both a good Christmas.
Nice one guys...Merry Christmas to you both...All the best in 2024 😀
Glad I found your site I love it!
Hi guys I hope you had a joyful Christmas love from Cambridge
Happy Christmas to both of you, I hope you have a lovely day. ❤
I was born and brought up in Strathblane, just down the hill. Xx
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from NZ.😊
It's a fab spot by Loch Lomond. We were there in October during storm Babet but unfortunately we only discovered your camping spot after paying for the CCC site 300 yards further along the lake side ( it was a great site though). Enjoy the Christmas hols.
Merry Christmas John and mandy and a happy new year. 👍
Hahaha John did you say hutches to rent or is my hearing going, but you meant shepherd's huts 😅 .
What a lovely place.
Ok how do you keep your van so clean 😂 and a happy new year to the both of you 🍻🥂
Have a fantastic Christmas. Stuart (Australia)
I have a beard that doesnt know what colour its meant to be, all the best john and mandy,🏴
All the best you two 🎉❤

Happy Christmas to you both.🎄🎅🎁🎉🎅🕊🕆🎄🎅🎁
Happy chistmas xx ❤to you both
A merry Christmas to you two.
Merry Christmas 🕯️✨🌟🎅🏻🧑🏽🎄
Did you try Arnica for your bruising? It’s an old remedy. I got quite badly banged up several years ago, I crashed a lawnmower at about 45mph (don’t ask) and broke my collar bone, and had massive bruising round that shoulder, the other arm and my left thigh from the hip to the knee. My mother recommended Arnica cream, I reluctantly tried it to keep her happy, and was amazed at how quickly the bruising disappeared. I thought it was going to be one of those old wives remedies, I don’t know how quickly the bruising and tenderness would have gone on its own but it did seem to go quicker with this stuff.
That hotel/campsite looks amazing, almost too good to be true. Take care, have a wonderful time.
Merry Christmas John and Mandy!! Suzane
10:34 gently and well mannered dogs are a pleasure.
Merry Christmas to you both.🥳🎅🏾🍷
Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅🎄🤶🎄🥂🎄
Hey John & Mandy 👋🏻 Thankyou for this post 👍🏻 I am currently at St Mary's Loch & Tibbie shiels Inn, which,the Inn closed at the moment but busy working to get things done. Please come & visit us @ this Amazing Historic place. Any promotion & help is welcome 🙏 We can even take you out on our little yacht on the Loch or use my kayak. Also very interested in visiting this exciting site you have found as this appeals to me being a vanlifer & a retired ? Tradesman. 👍🏻
Merry 🎅🏻🎄
Hi guys thanks for sharing and enjoying our vast and varied weather. Visit the Drovers Inn further round the Loch if you get the chance but I expect by the time you read this you will have moved on. Cheers, Merry Christmas and stay safe.💖👌
