“It’s time to take your freedom into your own hands”
This Isn’t Some Get Rich Quick Bullshit…
In fact, I’m not even rich. What I am is free. I make enough to live, grow my wealth and continue buying land. I travel between beautiful homesteads and campgrounds with the weather, work when I want, travel when I want and answer to no one.
So this isn’t a get rich quick scheme. It’s a new way to live using a set of tools, skills and systems I’ve spent the last six years of my life sweating, bleeding and crying to develop so that you don’t have to. It is a proven method to generate income, life long friendships, and beautiful places to live that I will guide you through step by step.
But Who Am I?
Meet Your Coach Aidan…
I’m a lifelong nomad who’s lived full-time on the road for the last 10 years. While historically I made a living building out marketing departments and scaling series A tech start-ups I’ve spent the last six years of my life doing something different.
In 2019 I bought a piece of land just outside Joshua Tree National Park in California. This piece of land changed the trajectory of the rest of my life. At the time this piece of land checked a few boxes for me. It gave me a homebase closer to friends and family between travel stints (moving around gets tiring sometimes). This land allowed me to get outside and build stuff with my hands, which felt great after a full day of staring at screens. It even allowed me the canvas on which to paint my crazy idea of combining hostels with campgrounds to create communal homebases for other full-time nomads, travelers and vanlifers like myself (called it Van Life Campgrounds).
So I began to build, outdoor showers, a compost toilet, a game night and co-working space, raised bed gardens, shaded hang out areas, a tiny cabin, the list goes on and I’m still building to this day!
As I began to build I began to spread the word about this place in the desert built for nomads to meet other nomads. As the word began to spread, people began to show up and not only show up but pay me to be there. Eventually the space begin filling up and my ambitions of making a network of campgrounds begun.
So I quit my high paying marketing job to do something crazy and 3 years later I’m the founder and CEO of Van Life Campgrounds, with network of 5 locations (and counting) and a team of rad nomads who believe in the vision and help me grow it. Over these years of growing VLC (van life campgrounds) I’ve also consulted and partnered with 20+ other land/camp/glamp/rv park owners either as VLC partners or as a marketing and growth consultant on the side.
When it comes to finding, buying, building, scaling and generating revenue from land there aren’t many people on earth who have a deeper understanding of this world than I do.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
-
Simply put it’s for anyone who has always dreamed of life on their own piece of land to start a farm, build a house, foster a community, begin a business or all of the above.
Wether you’ve been dreaming of land your whole life, are just looking for a cool side hustle, have a piece of land that you don’t know what to do with or are looking for a retirement plan with your savings this accelerator will provide you with a ton of value.
This program is about teaching you the incredibly valuable sets of skills required to make your dreams on land a reality. From fundraising, to land searching, zoning requirements, business model, marketing, off-grid building and technology and much more!
-
Yes, yes, yes. Partnering with others in your network is one of the best ways to achieve land freedom! Everything’s also more fun with friends so I not only allow folks to join with others, I recommend it.
-
Yes, yes, yes.
I deeply believe learning is an interactive and action oriented experience. I’ve purposely setup this accelerator so that learning happens live in person and is mostly through doing and not just listening.
With that said though everything we do in this course will be recorded for future use. I want all of these lessons and coaching sessions to be so value packed that you not only can but want to revisit them for years to come.
So while I’d prefer you’re live at every session interacting, asking questions and more deeply learning. There will be an on-demand accessible recording of everything that happens if you need to miss a few sessions. You’ll still get the added bonus of the interactivity and questions asked by other students.
-
Absolutely, you will learn some of the highest value skills on earth in the program. You’ll learn how to…
Attract, entice and successfully pitch investors.
Find and develop real estate.
Building skills, from wood working to plumbing to solar/electrical.
Utilize highly effective marketing strategies that can be used to grow any project/business
Communicate brand values and attract like minded individuals to you
Write, read, alter and edit contracts to keep yourself safe in partnerships and business dealings
-
No. This program is setup in two sections for this exact reason. The first section is about learning, seeing what your possibilities are and honing your existing vision or creating one with inspiration from what’s worked and not worked for me in the past.
The second section of the accelerator is all about taking action on that vision and working with me one on one to actualize your specific dream! -
This accelerator is action focused. There is nothing on the market that both teaches you the steps required for success then takes you through each of those steps in real time. I work directly with you to take action and actually apply the things you’ve learned.
Simply put I teach you everything I know then walk with you in achieving each one of those things for yourself.
-
As I’ve progressed through my life and business career one thing I’ve always deeply yearned for was mentorship. I’ve been able to do a lot of great things and find inspiration through some podcasters, writers and thinkers but I was never able to find that mentor.
In the name of providing what I never had I will be taking on two mentor students each season of this accelerator at a deeply discounted rate. So if you’re a deeply passionate young entrepreneur who’s looking to learn these skills and get into this lifestyle shoot me an email at Aidan@vanlifecamprounds.com with the subject line “Land Freedom Mentorship” and pitch me on yourself!
