Vanarky in the Ozarks Fall Campout AR 11/3-6/22

Community inspired events for van-lifers, camp-lifers, and weekend warriors.

Our mission is to create engaging, community-focused events for van-lifers, camp-lifers, and weekend warriors out there seeking to explore the Ozark mountains and beyond.

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 3 days of workshops, hiking, river rock skipping, dancing, off-road trails, learning, love, live music, craft beer and spirits, firepits, and good food. All of this will be 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 campout 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 skoolies and everything in between.

(trust me, almost everyone will say
“wow” as I seriously doubt any RV’er, particularly boondockers,
wouldn’t want to win this)

October Pahrump Desert Clean-Up Postponed 10/22

October Pahrump Desert Clean-Up Postponed 10-22

October Pahrump Desert Clean-Up Postponed 10-22

HOWA put out a call to the community to provide locations on BLM land that needed some clean-up, but we didn’t get any responses. And, that’s good news. Neither the community nor HOWA’s efforts to find trashy places yielded any likely locations.
So, we are postponing our next Pahrump Desert Clean-Up until April of 2023. In the meantime, we have a wonderful volunteer, a licensed drone pilot, who will be looking down into the washes to find trash that is below our ground-level view.
So, mark your calendars, be in Pahrump in April … we’re going to find some trash, then clean it up!
