New Host Categories Have Arrived on Vanly!
Vanlife is about freedom. But when it comes to finding the right place to stay, it helps to have some direction.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Vanly’s all-new Host Categories — built to help you find the perfect stay faster, smarter, and with more confidence than ever before.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful place to recharge, a spot with electric hookups, or somewhere close to town, our new categories are designed to fit your lifestyle — not force you into one.
🔎 What Are Host Categories?
No more guessing. No more endless scrolling. Host Categories help you filter Vanly stays based on your exact needs — beautiful scenic views, local businesses, a private driveway, etc.
It’s all about getting you parked and comfortable with less hassle, and more time enjoying the journey.
