Vanstock Alaska: The Ultimate Van Life Gathering in the Last Frontier

Vanstock Alaska: The Ultimate Van Life Gathering in the Last Frontier

Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime? This summer, from July 18th to 21st, van lifers, RVers, and outdoor enthusiasts will gather in one of the most breathtaking locations in North America—Palmer, Alaska—for Vanstock Alaska!

Hosted on a stunning 420-acre bison ranch, this event is more than just a meetup; it's a celebration of community, freedom, and the incredible journey that is van life. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or just starting your journey, Vanstock offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals while experiencing the wild beauty of Alaska.

Why You Should Attend Vanstock Alaska

The Scenic Drive

One of the biggest draws of attending Vanstock is the drive itself. Traveling through Canada and into Alaska offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness wildlife like elk, moose, bison, bears, and even wolves in their natural habitat. You’ll pass glacial rivers, towering mountains, and rolling tundras—an experience like no other!

The Stunning Location

Vanstock is set on a working bison ranch in Palmer, Alaska, about 50 miles northeast of Anchorage. The property boasts lush barley fields, a private swimmable lake, and breathtaking 360-degree mountain views. Just minutes away is the famous Hatcher Pass, a wonderland of waterfalls, rivers, and scenic landscapes.

Community and Connection

One of the core missions of Vanstock is fostering a strong sense of community. Campsites are arranged in a circular fashion to encourage interaction and eliminate cliques. Whether you're in a van, RV, bus, motorcycle, or even a tent, you’re welcome at Vanstock!

For those hesitant about making the long drive alone, the Vanstock Caravan Facebook group and WhatsApp groups are great resources for finding travel companions. Joining a caravan not only makes the trip safer but also much more fun!

Vanstock is packed with activities to entertain and educate attendees:

Educational Workshops: Learn about sustainable van life, remote work opportunities, and alternative living.
