FAQs

Nomad Nexus is part festival, part rest for the road weary, and 100% an experience you don’t want to miss. It’s a multiday meetup for full or part-time travelers, vanlifers, RVers, skoolie dwellers, and anyone who’s traded a fixed address for a life on wheels. Think creative activities, campfires, chenanigans, and a whole lot of community-building with people who just get you.

If it rolls, pops up, or exists as a weird contraption you call “home,” it’s welcome. Buses, box trucks, vans, RVs, campers, tents, cars, trucks… heck, even a spaceship if you’ve got one. Bring it!

No really, someone please bring a spaceship!

Yes! There will be activities for kids, families, and grown-ups alike. That said, the overall vibe is more “feral children, high hippies, and foul mouthed nomads around a campfire” than “wholesome family BBQ.”

Nope, but you’ll probably want to! Whether you’re in for the full experience or just swinging by for the weekend, you’re welcome. Just know that the longer you stay, the higher the chance of accidentally adopting a new road family.

A glorious, child-free zone where adults can cut loose, enjoy themed party nights, and remember what it feels like to be 21+ (but with better booze and fewer bad decisions).

One ticket covers your rig and the people who live in it. Guests will need a visitor pass. Your toads (aka tow vehicles) get in free, because we’re not monsters.

Nope. But if you give us a heads-up at least 10 days before the event, we’ll roll your ticket over as credit for next time. Life happens, we get it. You can also get the 3rd party trip insurance offered at checkout for a refund in qualifying situations. 

Wherever your little nomadic heart desires…unless you need power (when avaliable) or you run a generator, then spots are assigned. Otherwise, pick a neighborhood vibe that fits your energy.

Absolutely. Walk, drive, or take your toad for a spin, just come back.

We’re not animals, well not entirely. Each location varies. Sometimes there are showers on the grounds, sometimes we throw up a makeshift shower house, and sometimes you just have to make due with a bird bath. Check the event page for details on what’s available at that specific venue.

Sometimes. Each location varies. Check the event page for details on what’s available at that specific venue.

Yes, there’s a dumpster, but please compact your trash and break down boxes. This isn’t a landfill, people.

Wi-Fi? Nope. I will try to note cell service for each venue, but let’s try & unplug as much as we can! The point, after all, is to make real, in-person connections.

Need Wi-Fi? Befriend a Starlink owner and bring them offerings of coffee and beer.

Yes!
Dogs must be leashed, not because we want them leashed but because of liabilities and all that jazz. Some venues have an off-leash area. And for the love of whatever you worship, police the damn poop. Nobody wants a PooShoo!

Cats? They do what they want, as always. Just don’t pick up random cats, they’re not lost; they live here now. 

If your llama is chill, doesn’t bite, and won’t start a turf war with someone’s travel cat, sure. But if it’s one of those dramatic llamas that spits at people, maybe leave it at home.

Ok, so maybe this isn’t frequently asked but whatever, it should be! 

Yes, but keep it in the designated area and don’t run it 24/7. The “hummmm” is not a vibe. If you use it a lot or it’s loud, maybe get a power site if available.

Yes! You can set up shop anytime or the whole time and casually sell throughout the meetup. Maybe don’t be THAT person everyone tries to avoid at Sam’s Club tho.

It’s different at each event and depends on the venue. But can include things like:
☝🏼Free nights!
✌🏿Extra fun!
🫶🏻Free food! Yeah, I’ma cook up some Louisiana goodness for ya!
🖖🏽Instant friend group! (Great if you suck at small talk.)

Check the event page for details on what’s available at that specific venue.

If you have time between all the fun activities, absolutely! Fix your stuff, help someone else fix theirs, or just hang out and watch the chaos. Need help or want to lend a hand? Check the event page for a help wanted sheet.

Volunteers can sometimes come early or stay late if the venue allows us the extra days. If you’re not a volunteer, sorry, no early or late stays, plan accordingly!

Heck yes!! Just try not to turn it into an aerial demolition derby. Capture those epic shots, show off your pilot skills, and please, let’s avoid mid-air drone collisions.
