Vanarky in the Ozarks Fall Campout - 4th Annual

7037 Cass Oark Rd, Ozark, 72949, US

Join us down by the Mulberry River in the heart of the Ozarks for a weekend full of outdoor adventure, live music, educational workshops, good food, and friends old and new. No van necessary!

This year the fourth annual Vanarky in the Ozarks Fall Campout will be in Ozark, Arkansas at Byrd's Adventure Center. Here tucked along the Mulberry River in the Ozark National Forest, you'll find a weekend complete with all of the adventure activities you can handle! Be ready to settle into a weekend full of hiking, river rock skipping, off-road trails, learning, love, live music, craft beer and spirits, kickball (yeah you read that right), firepits, and food trucks. All ready to enjoy in a van down by the river...or a skoolie, tent, truck camper, or whatever your traveling heart desires.

Along with all of the activities, the weekend will serve to connect van-lifers and weekend warriors with one another in order to provide resources through workshops and conversation to help with build-out concepts, van design, secret campsites, and all the things we’ve learned about adventuring in the Ozarks and beyond.

No van? COME ANYWAY! We welcome all types of campers from tents to schoolies and everything in between. Check out Vanarky.com for more details on what your ticket includes!
