VanTales: Campervan Journal

About this app

VanTales, your campervan journal. Every place your van takes you, kept in one place. VanTales is a warm, simple journal for life on the road. For wild pull-ins, sunrises over the loch, and the campsites worth coming back to. Drop a pin where you parked up. Add photos, a few notes, a star rating, and the facilities you found. Group your stops into trips, watch your mileage tick up, and look back on the year you've had on the road. CAPTURE THE MOMENT, PARKED UP • Drop a pin or search for the exact spot • Snap photos or import them straight into a stop • Star ratings (1–5) for the places worth remembering • Notes for what you cooked, who you met, the weather that day • A cost field in your local currency to track what you spent • Tag stops your way: favourite views, dog-friendly, free pitches FACILITIES AT A GLANCE Mark off what was on offer at every stop, so future-you knows where to head back to: • Electric hook-up • Fresh water • Waste disposal • Wi-Fi • Showers TRIPS THAT COME TOGETHER ON THEIR OWN • Group stops into trips with a title, region and dates • A driving-distance total for every trip, calculated leg by leg • Region labels (Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Lakes…) on every trip card • Cover photos pulled from your best shots SEE YOUR YEAR ON THE ROAD • Timeline of every stop, newest first • A map with all your pins, every place you've parked up • Mileage adds up across every trip: your whole year, in miles FIND YOUR NEXT STOP Search stops shared by fellow VanTales travellers near you.
