Camp Carpe Diem 2026

Camp Carpe Diem is a four-day vanlife and overlanding camping gathering held in the Verde Valley of central Arizona, bringing together van dwellers, overlanders, and outdoor enthusiasts for a late-October weekend of camping, community, and desert exploration in one of Arizona's most scenic landscapes. The event celebrates the vanlife and outdoor adventure lifestyle with a relaxed camp gathering format that encourages connection between participants from across the Southwest.

The Verde Valley lies between Sedona's red rock country and the Mogollon Rim, with ancient Sinagua ruins, the Verde River, Sycamore Canyon Wilderness, and the vibrant arts towns of Cottonwood and Jerome within easy reach. October is one of the finest months to camp in central Arizona, with warm sunny days, cool evenings, and the golden light of autumn casting the red rocks in their most dramatic colours.
