12th Annual Big Sur Buses and Boards campout July 2023 at Plaskett Creek Campground

July 19, 2023 to July 24, 2023
If you are a rugged individual that likes cool Volk's and camping next to Sand Dollar beach in Los Padres national forest please read on. A group of us have been doing this for over 12 years and have a few extra open spots, as we were able to secure several large group sites last year. As a personal devote of SOTO we are hoping to get one area just for VW "Splitties" but all other areas are a mix of air-cooled and early VW’s. This is an RSVP only event because of limited spots. We already have several Golden Gate Chapter Volk’s on the list for a July 2023 long weekend!!! We will be hanging our first general organizational meeting at Kelley Park. More info at the website.https://sites.google.com/site/bltnvw/eventsTo RSVP a spot please email  ggcvvwca@gmail.comTent camping, no electricity, pets allowed, 20 concrete stair steps to cozy camp area from Bus parking…See More

This campground LOCKS ITS GATES at 9:00 pm. If you do not arrive before they lock the gates, you will be camping outside the gate until the following morning.(2.)  The…See More
