How many people can come?

It being the first year of Vanstock, we wanted to keep it intimate, yet still accessible. We plan on a healthy limit of 2000 attendees.

Why Limited Day Passes?

Vanstock is a camping oriented event. Our main priorities are community building and camping. We are striving to create an event that will unite our local communities and create new lasting friendships. We believe that camping together eliminates classes and brings everyone /together.

 Why no re-entry?

To keep our event safe. Vanstock is a commitment. A commitment to yourself and the collective of the attendees. Everyone attending really wants to be there. To be inspired to create a life that will bring them the most happiness. Allowing day passes creates an opportunity for a larger number of attendees to come or people to bring in substances that we do not want there. Having more attendance can have advantages but we are really focused on creating a nourishing experience rather than more profits. 

Will Vanstock have hook ups or plug ins available?

No, the Vanstock property is 100% off grid. You will need to bring a portable power station, battery bank, solar or a generator to provide electricity for you campsite.

Generator usage in the camp fields has designated hours from 11am-pm & 6-9pm all weekend.

If you have a disability that requires all night generator usage, please reach out via email and we can discuss your needs and place you in the disability friendly camping area.

How much are tickets?

Tickets are priced at around $250 + processing fees.

Is this open to all vehicles?

Van, Truck, RV, Trailer, Bike, Backpack or Tent. Everyone is welcome!

Why are camp spots assigned?

To preserve the land. Vanstock is being held on a lush 420 bison ranch. With all camping being within the grounds on large barley fields. We want to minimize any damage being done to the fields and property. Camping is on a first come first serve basis where you will camp in the same spot until you are ready to leave the event. This will protect this vital resource. This barley is used to feed the bison on the property as well as supplement for many local farms.
