VANFEST started in 2014 and is fast becoming a destination event with people sharing their road trip stories with event founder and manager Matt Clifton.
Clifton said weeks ago that all local accommodation was booked out, there’s a range of camping options available on location at the showground.
There are organised coaches running from Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst and Parkes. You can buy bus tickets online.
There will also be a shuttle running between the showgrounds and the town centre.
