Our first Motor Weekend

Small on purpose. Relaxed by design.

This is the first time Fox & Maple is hosting a vehicle campout. We are beginning with one carefully sized JDM weekend, learning alongside the participants and seeing whether Motor Weekends should become a tradition.

Japanese-brand vehicles are welcome—stock, modified, classic or imported. Families are welcome too. The booking lead, every participating driver and every adult waiver signer must be 19 or older; children attend with parent or legal-guardian permission and continuous responsible-adult supervision.

The entire campground is reserved exclusively for registered event participants during the campout. There are no ordinary stays, public spectators or unregistered visitors during the event.

Adult details; child count only: checkout collects a name, email and phone number for each adult.

Your camp compound

Bring the car. Make the space yours.

Sleep in your vehicle or set up a sleeping tent beside it. Add a party canopy, chairs, sofas, outdoor-rated lighting, a television or whatever creates a comfortable camp—provided it stays safe, quiet and inside the space Fox & Maple assigns.

You will not choose a numbered campsite during checkout. Once the roster and group sizes are final, Fox & Maple will create the placement plan. During the final week before the event, each booking lead receives the assigned car-and-tent location and a small map. Shared-canopy groups will be kept together.

Before you buy

Clear expectations for the first edition

Ticket changes

Tickets are not refundable. They may be privately resold or transferred after Fox & Maple is notified and the replacement participant accepts all event requirements.

Event cancellation

If Fox & Maple cancels the event because of severe weather, wildfire or comparable unsafe conditions, event ticket payments will be returned in full.

Outdoor risks & waiver

Camping around trees and vehicles includes risks such as uneven ground, weather, falling trees or branches, pinecones, sap, vehicle movement, fire and other participants' equipment. Each adult must review and sign the final event waiver for themselves before attending. Children do not sign the adult waiver; the booking lead confirms parent or legal-guardian permission and continuous responsible-adult supervision.

Security cameras

Video surveillance may operate at entrances, internal roads, facilities and common areas for safety, security and incident review. Cameras are not installed in washrooms or showers or intentionally directed inside sleeping tents.

The complete booking terms and privacy information are available during registration. After payment is confirmed, every adult attendee receives the current individual event waiver and signs only for themselves; children do not receive an adult waiver.

Registration status

Registration is open now, with 36 vehicle spaces and 40 additional attendee spaces currently available. Availability is confirmed when checkout accepts the registration.
