You’ve Arrived. See What’s Around You.
Smart Arrival™ brings VanLife Connect to life at every stop.
Automatically discover nearby services, community activity and fellow travellers relevant to where you’re staying.
Your Stay Starts When You Arrive.
Most travel apps help you decide where to go and where to stay. VanLife Connect takes over from there.
One Arrival. Three Connected Hubs.
Smart Arrival™ recognises your location and makes VanLife Connect relevant to where you are — bringing together the services, community activity and travellers around you.
Services
Find help nearby, or offer your own skills and earn while you travel.
Community
See local notices, meet-ups, traveller tips, requests for help and what’s happening around your stay.
Travel Mates
Connect with fellow travellers nearby, keep in touch with people you meet on the road and see who may be heading the same way.
How Smart Arrival Works
Smart Arrival is VanLife Connect’s location-aware technology that automatically detects when you arrive at a campground or stop and shows you relevant services, community posts, and travel mates nearby. No searching, no check-ins, and no setup required.
Just Drive
Pull into your campground or stop with location permissions enabled.
We detect
VanLife Connect identifies where you’re staying and activates that location in the app.
You Discover
See services available nearby, Community Noticeboard activity and Travel Mates relevant to your location.
Smart Arrival only works when location permissions are enabled. You stay in control of what you share, when features activate, and how you connect with others.
Location awareness is used to improve relevance, not to track your movements.
