Be a part of something!
Nomad Nexus Meetup
Because it’s not just an event—it’s a vibe, a family,
and a freakin’ good time.
🏕️ 2025 Nomad Nexus Meetup Info 📃
A Home for the Houseless, a Family for the Free
Where solo travelers are encouraged, weirdos are celebrated, volunteers get sweet perks, & families are welcome!
Grab your gear (or let’s be real, drive your house) and roll up to Oakwood, Illinois, October 3-13, 2025, for Nomad Nexus—a gathering for folks who traded white fences for black tires and cubicles for campfires.
This isn’t your grandma’s RV rally. It’s part community campout, part rolling circus, and all about connection & creativity, good vibes & a good time.
🚐 Who’s This For?
If you’re…
- Living life one mile marker at a time 🚌
- Chasing sunsets instead of paychecks 🌅
- Converting rigs, building dreams, or just freaking curious 🔧
- Tired of explaining your “composting” toilet to strangers 🚽
- Looking for community, looking to build a family on shared values, not shared DNA
…then you’re our kinda people.
Know all you need to?
ready to snag tickets?
There are lots of deets on this page but if you’re ready…
🅿️ The “Park It Pass”
Pick your spot, park, and stay a while. Your rig is your ticket to the party (I mean, you need an actual ticket too, but you get the idea). Whether you’re in a skoolie, van, fifth wheel, or something you welded together in your cousin’s driveway 🔧✨—we’ve got room for you.
The pass includes:
- ✅ Camping for the dates you pick
- ✅ Access to all the Nexus activities (including Makers Fest and vending)
- ✅ Activities, workshops, and after-dark shenanigans
- ✅ A chance to make new friends and finally meet friends you follow in person
🛠️ Stuff to Do (Besides Stare at Each Other’s Rigs)
- Haunted Ghost Rally (field trip)
- Masquerade Ball
- Late-night drum circles and acoustic jams 🎶
- Bunco Night!
- Blacklight Neon Paint Party (BYOB)
- Rig tours 🚐 🚌
- Themed nights in the Grown Folks Club (18+ area for, ya know… grown folks things 😏)
- Capture the flag 🚩🏁
- Workshops, skill shares, open mic nights 🎤, and spontaneous 💃🏽dance parties🕺🏼
- Volunteer opportunities (with perks!)
- And much more than I can list, so check out the schedule of events here! (Schedule link coming soon – subject to change, cause life happens.)
🐾 Pet-Friendly, Kid-Welcome, Drama-Free
Bring your dog. Bring your kid. Bring your weird uncle if he’s cool. But be sure to clean up after all of them if they don’t clean up after themselves.
ScOoPtHePoOp 🐶💩
This is a judgment-free zone, but not a free-for-all.
Our only hard rule:
👉 Don’t be an assh🟤le! Be the neighbor you want and the friend you need.
📡 What About… Wi-Fi? Showers? Hookups?
Great questions. We have a whole FAQs page for that. But short version:
- It’s no KOA—but we do have showers 🚿, bathrooms, water, and a community kitchen space
- Quiet hours are a thing, but so are late-night drum circles, just be mindful of where you are parked and feel free to move if you find yourself parked in the wrong neighborhood. Read that again and add mOvEiT to your list!
- Hookups available – I’m talking power hookups, dang, get your mind out of the gutter! There are limited spots with 120v 🔌 plugs (first come, first plugged in). If you have a 30amp or 50amp plug on your rig you will need a converter (like one of these 30 or 50). There is no dump station but there are places nearby. I’ll include that info in a future email.
- Generators are ok but please park in the designated area.
- Wi-Fi? Nope. There is great cell service but let’s try & unplug as much as we can!

We’ve hidden secret codes all over the site (not just on this page) like little nomadic nuggets of joy. 🏕️ Some are easy to spot, some you’ll have to click or hover for — but each one you find can unlock a deal, a piece of exclusive swag, or even a VIP perk.

🛠️ Makers Fest Perks
Thinking of selling some cool stuff? If you open your rig for tours, you get a FREE vending spot (booth or outside your rig). Not into tours? No problem—you still get a discount on your vending space if you attend The Nexus, and the system will apply it automatically at checkout so you don’t even need a code!
👩🏻🤝👨🏽Volunteer Bonus
Volunteers get to come two days early and stay two days late—plus, I’ll cook y’all a good old Louisiana-style meal 🍽️ as a thank-you!
🤝 My Promise about discounts
Other than a few influencer affiliate links floating around out there for 5% off, the deals & discounts listed here are the only ones that will be offered. There will be no future flash sales. There is nothing worse than grabbing a ticket to something and then finding out it went on sale the next day. I’m not doing that to anyone!
🧭 Tips for Navigating Registration
- Check out this quick video where I walk you through registration!
- Select your arrival date—but no need to pick a departure date! It’ll auto-calculate based on the number of nights you choose.
- After your arrival date is selected, ticket options will pop up.
- Select 1 for your # of tickets (Trailblazer, Park-It Pass, etc.) and then fill out the info that opens up. You do not need to fill it out on the Trailblazer ticket if you are only getting a Park-It Pass and vice versa.
Alright, y’all know the drill—register now, grab your spot, and get ready for an epic time. 🎪🔥🚌
