SKOOLIE MAKERSPACES & NOMAD BUILD STOPS

If you’re just starting your skoolie dream or you’re already on the road full-time, Wanderlust Waypoints has a spot for you to build, repair, or remodel your nomadic home on wheels!

WANDERLUST WAYPOINTS?
WHAT?!?!

Wanderlust Waypoints was created for nomads and by nomads. With locations around the country, we provide a place for all of us crazy travellers to call home (at least for a little while.) Each location provides essential services that we all need when we’re out there chasing pavement.

FACILITIES, AMENITIES, & OTHER ``E's``

Even though every waypoint is unique, we aim to make sure that all locations in the network have a number of standard amenities. Because things are always changing at each spot, please check each location's page under "stay" in the menu to see the amenities that are currently being offered at the time of your stay.

Please be aware that some of our sites are off-grid or semi-off-grid. Specific amenities may sometimes need to be restricted due to low supply from mother nature.

NETWORK-WIDE STARTING SITE RATES

The rates below are our current starting rates at locations throughout the network. Each location’s pricing and amenity rates are partially set by our property partners so rates can vary from location to location. Additional charges can be expected at some locations for things like laundry, wifi, and incidentals.

NOMADIC BEACONS

All Wanderlust Waypoints focus on four Nomadic Beacons – Stay, Build, Learn, & Play. You’ll see what we mean below.

STAY

We offer a place to call home temporarily. Skoolie, Coach, RV, Van, Camper, Tiny House, or Cabin we have a place for you to park, power, and fill whatever travels with you. If you’re nomadic at heart but haven’t taken the plunge, we have units of all shapes and sizes at each location for you to dip your foot into whichever proverbial pool you’d like to!

BUILD

Most Waypoints have access to places where you can construct your dream, no matter what it’s made from! Our Skill Spaces include auto, wood, metal, and everything in between. We have the tools you’ll need to get the job done available for check out in the Tool Shed.

LEARN

All waypoints are places to give help, get help, teach and learn. We host workshops that cover a wide range of topics to help you “level up” and add a few stat points. Some sites have apiaries and organic gardens to teach sustainability and give back to the community. Others have animal rescues. Connecting with the Nomad Network gives you a support system both on and off the road!

PLAY

There is always something fun going down at a Waypoint. We will host tiny house shows, bus rallies, and conventions to bring more exposure to the tiny nomadic movement. We’re planning special events like organic tastings with local chefs, music festivals, art shows, and artisan craft days to bring some culture to our villages. We’re opening mercantile shops to offer a wide variety of items made on-site and from local artisans and vendors.

All of this adds up to make any Wanderlust Waypoint a unique experience that is different at every spot and every time you visit. All of the information you could ever want is pretty easily accessible around this site, so check us out, do your research and if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Great place and nice folks! I was on my way back from Southern Kentucky to Michigan, and my brakes began giving me problems. I was able to quickly contact them, given clear directions in the Appalachia area, got in there and get things fixed. No fuss, no muss. Appreciate yall! Not sure what I would have done if I didn’t have a place like that to pull in, and take a maintenance time-out. Thank-you! 😊

Johnny and WLW were super easy to work with and totally chill. Seriously, the easiest process to register and pay, great communication, and honest in setting realistic expectations for their spaces. I wish I was still traveling so I could stay at their other locations and really experience the community they are building.

Johnny is the man, easy going, and respectful. I’ve been stationed at baker mountain for about a half a year finishing my build. Having the range of tools for any of my needs has been nothing but nice, there’s laundry, full bathroom, a nice hangout. It’s quite here nested on a mountain side, surrounded by a beautiful scenery, if you’re looking for the Tennessee countryside, it doesn’t get much better than this. The nearest gas station is about 10 minutes away, along with dollar general. Chattanooga is about an hour south. There some beautiful stare parks, waterfalls, caves, hiking trails in every direction and yaaa I highly recommend getting hear if you can. Doont waste another minute it’s worth it believe me. Cheers and may the four winds blow you safely home. 🤙🚌🚌🚌

I only stayed overnight, but Johnny was very accommodating and the place would be perfect to stay for a while and get some projects completed! I'll be back!

This review concerns the perry FL location. I stayed with the fine folks at Powers little campground for a little over 2 weeks and highly enjoyed my stay! We actually had our mini fridge die the literal same day we arrived and they just happened to have a mini fridge that fit my dimensions to sell me on the spot. It's still running in my bus and keeping my food cold as I write this. The campground, as implied by the name is small, but the community welcomed us for our short stay and we're supportive of our bus projects. Highly recommend for any nomads that want something more personal than the standard campground experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Del Rio location! The owners are very community minded and helpful to everyone that comes along their path. Johnny Blaze is easy to work with and explains the process of staying at a Waypoint location thoroughly and makes everything easy. We will definitely get in touch when we're looking for another location around the U.S.

We had a super time staying in Chandler, TX! Nice property with an awesome pond and a big yard. Us and our dogs really appreciated the space to roam and play. Our hosts hooked us up with some tools that helped us get a few projects done on our skoolie, too. The winery across the street really topped off the experience 🥂
