Club Corrals

As part of our effort to make the VW Nationals more club friendly, we will be offering club corrals again this year.

Members parking in club corrals would be required to pay the show entry fee ($25).
Corrals will border the show area and will be the size of two swap spots – the club will pay for a single swap spot ($25).
We need a 6 car minimum commitment from the club.
The club can park their vehicles in any configuration they want within the corral.
Popup tents for club “HQ” is alright but must be secured to not fly away.
Cars in the club corrals ARE in the show – however club members should remember that the VW Nationals is a participant judge show & shine and cars parked in corrals may not get the same attention as cars parked within their designated classes.

Swap and vendors:


The VW Nationals offers one of the largest swap meets in the Pacific Northwest.

Swap spots are $25 and are offered on a first-come/first-served basis. Swap spots are approximately 20ft by 20ft.

Vendor space is available for businesses wanting a space larger than the average swap spot in a location that will be sure to generate sales. Please send email to [email protected] for more information.

So . . . a little over a month until this happens, and no registration yet on the web site.

Is it really going to be a thing?

Would I be the only one attending?

OK, I think I get it . . . the Vintage Meet and VW Nationals kind of mesh over the weekend. Thanks!

They both have swap meets, is one of the swap meets significantly better than the other?
