Camping At This Event

Xscapers Bishop, California Convergence 2023 8

Dry Camping*

The majority of camping at this event is dry camping only.  There will be 3 different parking section offered for those who will be dry camping.  All dry sites will be on dirt/ gravel.

Solar Section: This section is for those with full solar set ups who do not need to rely on the use of a generator.  Generator use will only be authorized in this section during times of inclement weather.  If you think you will need to run your generator for any reason during the event (outside of inclement weather), the solar section is NOT FOR YOU!  With that being said, even if you park in the solar section, you may still hear generators running in other sections.  We park close together and that is just the way it is.

Family Section:  Do you have kids?  Do you want the opportunity for your kids to play with other kids without having to go very far? You should check out the family section!  There will be designated generator hours in this section.

General Section:  You aren’t set up for running your entire rig off of solar 24/7? You don’t have kids?  Well then, the general section is for you! There will be designated generator hours in this section.

 

W/E Hook Up Sites*

We have a limited number of W/E sites available for this event.

 

*See the Parking FAQ below for more information

FAQs

There are showers and restrooms on site. 

We welcome your furry friends!  If they are outside your rig, they must be leashed at all times. Please pick up after your pets. 

Absolutely!  We love kids! We ask that kids remain under supervision of their parent or guardian when out and about during the convergence.

We will have dumpsters on site.  Please break down all trash to make it as small as possible, especially boxes!

There will be no early arrival or late departures for this event.  

At the majority of Xscapers Convergences we park in designated sections.  Most dry camping spaces are 25 ft x 50 ft and small rig spaces are approximately 25 ft x 25 ft.  Small rig spaces are designated for units that are 25 ft or shorter.  If you have a small rig but want a big space, that’s cool with us, just be sure to select your desired section when buying your ticket.

The main reasons for you to attend a convergence should be to have fun and meet other like-minded RVers.  Networking and making potential business leads is a natural result of being part of an awesome community.  We don’t want the Xscapers community to be bombarded or feel like they are a commodity. If the main reason you are wanting to attend an Xscapers event is to sell something, market to attendees, or simply to generate content we would ask that you contact us directly for corporate sponsorship.

If we must cancel the event, or your attendance at the event for any reason, including due to local health department restrictions, such as those restricting the size of gatherings, you will receive a full refund of your registration fees.

No problem! Just email convergences@escapees.com with your question, and we’ll do our best to get you an answer.

Is an Xscapers Convergence Right for Me?

Xscapers was formed to bring Escapees RV Club back to its original roots of supporting RVers who are working from the road. At Convergences, you will find a community of active and free-spirited individuals with a passion for travel and adventure.

About 80% of Xscapers have full-time jobs they do remotely or seasonally.  This means we typically don’t hold activities during standard work hours (with the exception of Annual Bash). Starting later in the day also means later nights. We have found that this can be a factor in deciding what event program people attend.

We try to give the most fun and entertainment value at an affordable price.  One way we do that is by boondocking as much as possible. Our events are also a great way for newbie boondockers to learn from experienced ones. We try to divide our camping areas into those who have solar and those who want to run generators when possible.

Xscapers is an inclusive community, connected through the bond of RVing. This means we welcome people from all walks of life, no matter race, sexual orientation, political/religious views, lifestyle or RV type. Discrimination of any type will not be tolerated.
