Boyd Bison Ranch
Vanstock is located on a 420 acre Boyd Bison Ranch nestled in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley on the way to Hatcher’s Pass, one of the most beautiful places on earth. This lush land will be the home of thousands of nomads and locals July 17th-20th, 2026.
Finding the perfect spot…
We spent years looking for the perfect venue to host Alaska’s first van gathering. We wanted it to be open to encourage exploration, large enough to fit 2000 people, with plenty of room to have your own campsite, gorgeous views, all while being close to resources. We found the land with all these things and more! We are so excited to share this stunning secluded property with you all.

The Vanstock property is constructed with two camping fields,
one being 6.5 acres and the other 7 acres.
The Vendor field is home of the “Sacred Village” for workshops,
yoga,
cacao and drum circles. There are food trucks, vendors,
a vintage car
show and van show. The main stage is located on the
water front,
where local and nomadic musical acts can play as we
dance
the night away. Two pavilions are located in the music area,
where we will hold the “Free People’s Market”. Anyone who is a ticket
holder can sling their wares during designated hours all weekend.
Adam and Tristan Boyd are a hard working father & son team who are lifelong Alaskan farmers. They are probably best known in the area for their potato production. Their passion for animal husbandry and growing crops has led them to raising an increasingly large herd of bison, and growing their own hay fields to feed their animals in the winter season. They truly care for these animals and enjoy watching them grow, giving them the best natural life possible before harvesting and appreciating the lean, healthy meat they provide Alaskan families.Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point.
