You don't have to own a skoolie to attend, but you do have to have a self contained vehicle/camping setup. Skoolie Swarm happens in upstate Bainbridge, New York September 18-28 and is a blast. I have secured a coupon code of CharlieGrace10 for 10% off your stay. To buy tickets go to https://skoolieswarm.com/fall-swarm-2026-bainbridge-ny/ You can go for as many days as you wish. You don't have to go for the whole time, but they do have activities each day for ways to meet other campers there. I will be there September 21-28 as I have to be at the Hershey RV show prior to that.

Just registered for the East Coast Campout in MA. I was already planning on going to the Vanfest Cape Cod. Glad this was offered since I still had this time in August reserved for Van camping.

Historically, this has always been the hardest time of the year for me to go camping as it seems that the rest of the world also has the same idea. Finding campground reservations are always at a premium. This is one of the reasons why I love to boondock, but that is increasingly becoming more difficult on the east coast. Where are you this holiday weekend?
