A camping forum for VW bus and camper owners.
VW Camper Family
WELCOME
Hey everyone! If you found this, you found the online home of some very offline people - The VW Camper Family. People into VW bus and van camping. Get involved in the forum or check out the upcoming events. If you are into VW buses, vanagons, eurovans and camping, you should hang out with us. Really, you should.
HOW TO USE THIS SITE:
Post an event: Post an event that you are organizing or know about. People can RSVP right in the event. Please make any comments about the event on the event's page.
General Forum:
This area is for threads of interest to any VW camper.
Groups:
PLEASE JOIN THE GROUPS YOU ARE INTERESTED IN! THAT'S WHERE THE EVENT PLANNING HAPPENS! Groups can be created as specific needs come up. Things that are a help to all people, like "campground reviews", are perfect for this category. Or groups in a specific location.
RULES:
Just two so far:
1. Be nice.
2. Keep the content specific to VWs and camping. All other threads, photos, videos, etc will be removed.

14th Annual Thanksgiving Warmup and Food Fest at Sandy Beach Park, Rio Vista, CA
November 17, 2023 at 2pm to November 19, 2023 at 11am
We are going back to Sandy Beach in Rio Vista, CA. This is our annual practice run and food fest before Thanksgiving. Reserve sites soon as they may go fast if the sport fishermen/women come back this year.It's a pot-luck, and I'll be roasting a turkey on-site. Electrical outlets will be available for people with hot pots and such,A few more things: the reservation section of the park's web site has been a bit dodgy, and senior discounts aren't on the menu there. If you qualify, go ahead and reserve your spot at the going rate, and make contact with the park by phone to arrange a refund of part of the fee. The point is to grab your spot first, and settle the bill later.The second thing: Note that all reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance of the date, and no "first-come-first-served" sites are provided anymore. But if you're late, look for the people willing to share a spot and hitch up with them. Third, all sites have electricity FOR FREE. Bring your electric…See More
"Good to know. Thanks for the post."
"I'm in! Site 19. And hubby is coming again!
I qualify for senior. The website says this about that: New customers are charged the standard rate for the first transaction. Proof of qualification will need to be provided to staff…"
"Not usually. We've had mild weather over the years, with a little rain once that didn't linger. But with climate change and all, who knows what will be in store for us?"
"Is it as windy out there in November as it is in April? "
