Most van gatherings are a field, a stage, some vendor booths, and whatever you brought to eat. VanWild is a different animal: four nights in Montrose, Colorado where breakfast, dinner, drinks, and a guided adventure every single day are all included in one ticket.
The fifth annual VanWild runs September 17–20, 2026 at The Camper’s Hub, and the format is worth understanding even if you never go — because it points at where van gatherings may be heading.
