Join us for the premier Midwest VW Type 2 camping event! Come join us for the upcoming 39th "Buses Nowhere Near the Arch" camping weekend. This family-oriented VW camping event will feature on average a gathering of around 100 VW Transporters of all types and eras from all over the USA. While predominantly a Type 2 event, all models and eras of VWs are welcome to camp with us! We are looking forward to seeing you and your Transporter amidst all the "Split-windshields", "Bubble-windshields", Vanagons, and EuroVans and even the new "I.D. Buzz" as well as any other VW types and models this Fall. Please note that only VWs are allowed inside the BNNTA event campground. "Buses Nowhere Near The Arch #39" will be held rain or shine over the long Labor Day holiday weekend, Friday, Aug 29th thru Sep 1st, 2025. We will gather again at the "group campground" inside the Indian Creek Recreation Area. This U.S. Army Corps of Engineers campground is located right alongside 18,000 acre Mark Twain Lake, about 30 miles southwest of historic Hannibal, Missouri. This is a beautiful, federally-run campground with paved roads and parking pads and nice facilities. Most supplies and conveniences are available in nearby Monroe City or Hannibal. On both Friday and Saturday evening we plan to have campfires along with VW and door prizes, and parts swapping in addition to the "site-to-site" socializing that this VW camping event is famous for. On Saturday morning we are planning another of our famous "Bus caravans" over to historic Hannibal, the boyhood home of Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. "Mark Twain." You'll have lots of time to explore the haunts of his hometown, or tour "Injun Joe's cave." You won't want to miss it! On Saturday afternoon registered campers can stroll the campground and select by ballot their favorite VW Transporters, and that evening owners choice awards will be presented in several Type 2 classes in addition to a drawing for any vendor and participant-donated door prizes. If you have any neat VW-related items to donate, please bring them along for the drawing. On Sunday you are free to enjoy the lake or visit other regional highlights. It should prove to be a relaxed, fun weekend full of great Volkswagen experiences and new friendships. We are planning again to have a "vintage lantern walking tour" on Saturday evening right after awards are presented, so break out your old and new lanterns, dust 'em off and get them working and bring them along for the lantern-lit walking tour of the campground! We may even have a best and worst working lantern award or two, who knows! Our private camping facilities at Indian Creek include our own large, private "Buses Nowhere Near the Arch" group area with some electric hook-ups (first come, first served), fishing, water-sports (bring your water toys), playground, a huge pavilion shelter, toilet and shower facilities, and a nearby boat ramp. The all inclusive camping/event fee is $35 per VW for the entire weekend. Only VW’s that are registered and camping will be admitted into the BNNTA group campground area! Now, please read that last sentence again! Sites in the BNNTA group campground area can not be reserved in advance. The gates to our campground will be open for arrivals and site selection on Friday. If you arrive earlier, you could stay nearby in the regular "main campground" in the Indian Creek Recreational Area. Although there should be plenty of room for everyone, the earlier you arrive the better. We are looking forward to your arrival for a long holiday weekend full of Volkswagen fun. Please pass the word around to your VW friends about this long-running Volkswagen camping festival held over the long Labor Day holiday weekend! So wipe down and pack up those Transporters for the cruise over to Mark Twain Lake, MO for the "Buses Nowhere Near The Arch #39" campout on Friday, Aug 29th thru Monday Sept 1st, 2025 near Hannibal, Missouri. Please see the website below for lots of photos and information and a link to a mapping program to find your way to BNNTA. https://1kathrynbowman.wixsite.com/bnnta or http://www.bnnta.com |

When: Sunday October 26, 2025, 8am - 4pm Where: Hutto Brushy Creek Amphitheater-1001 Co Rd 137, Hutto, TX 78634 What: VW Harvest Volkswagen Car Show Why: To support the VW Community and Kiwanis of Silicon Hills Who: VW Harvest/VW Life team The VW Harvest began in 2010 at Southwest Regional Williamson County Park. It has been held every year at the park since with the exception of no shows in 2014 and 2020. It is the largest VW car show in Texas, with over 300 classic Volkswagens in attendance. It is a free show to all participants, there is no registration fee nor spectator fee. The show is supported by many local, state, national and international businesses with donations to the raffle which sustain the show. Top Notch Restaurant donates hot dogs and buns which the local Kiwanis Club prepares and then gives away to folks in attendance. They only ask for donations. It is by far the Kiwanis of Silicon Hills largest fundraiser each year which they put back into our community. The Kiwanis use local high school students as part of their service to the community. The VW Harvest is a very fun, family friendly event with Hot Wheels races for the kids, a Kids Twinkie Eating contest and a fun home-made VW Valve Cover pinewood derby race. It is promoted on the VW Life YouTube channel, which currently has 45,000 subscribers across the globe, the VW Life and VW Harvest Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as local newspapers and TV/radio stations. The VW Harvest is a very special event held each year for families and friends to come together and enjoy a beautiful day in the park with their Volkswagens. All are welcome. |
