Every meetup stands or falls with the place. These are the grounds that hosted us, each one worth a visit if you are ever driving that way.
They already know the concept, so you no longer have to explain what a van is doing in a field.
A small farm campsite in the woods of Salland, with room for fourteen to seventeen vans and a campfire you are simply allowed to light. This is where it started: a weekend with no programme, good conversations and a drink.
The very first Vanlife Vrienden Meetup, June 2026
A scouting ground right on the water, with an open field, a campfire spot and plenty of room for canoes and games. Home of the Scouting Edition.
Scouting Edition, August 2026
On the IJsselmeer, with a group field where the whole crew could park together. This is where we held the meetup with the three-course Flipperkast Dinner.
Meetup & Flipperkast Dinner, September 2026Vanlife Vrienden brings a group of ten to twenty-five vans to one spot, usually outside the high season. Our guests are self-sufficient: they sleep, cook and shower in their own van. What they are after is space, quiet and somewhere to light a fire.
Fill in the form: the name of the campsite, where you are, how many vans fit and which period suits you. It takes a few minutes and gives us enough to say something useful back. We will get in touch within a few days. The form is in Dutch, but you can answer in English.
