Camp Creator

Hereford Rowing Club
13th - 20th July

When Steve and Geeky Phil get together the conversations roll (and roll and roll). They feed off each other’s energy and come up with the most fantastic ideas.  At some point in the last 3 months one of those ideas turned into an event.  “Camp Creator” is a new concept of vanlife event, the idea was to get as many content (YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok etc) creators together in a field to chat and share and teach and learn and socialise.

Steve set off to Hereford before the rest of the family arriving mid afternoon on Wednesday. Phil and his crack team of experienced stewards (from Motorhomer.com) Trotter, Jennie, Martin, Suzanne and our great friend Bruce were on hand to mark out pitches, hang banners and generally ease Steve’s nerves.

After the boys finished school on Friday, I picked them up and headed up the motorway to join Steve and the Motorhomer.com gang.  Over the 5 days of the event, more than 60 vanslifers joined us. When putting the event together we started off with our friends, and people we enjoy watching and then opened the invitations to their suggestions.  There was no specific minimum criteria, so we had chanels with just 10 subscribers right upto 300,000 followers and EVERYTHING in between. When we did the quick maths we decided that between us we probably had close to 1 million subscribers and followers between us!

​The weather was stunning with temps reaching 30+ degrees.  We spent hours playing in the river, chatthing “shop” and socialising around the campfire. There were no egos and no dramas, it was purely an event for like minded people to spend time chatting about building a following and a business based on social media.​
