VW Camper Family

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.

We are back for year XVII!The weekend starts Thursday, May 15th (who doesn’t love an extra night of camping?!)There is no such thing as reservations for this event! Drive in and pick your spot or join another camper and make new friends. If we have a larger than normal turnout, we do encourage sharing your space. The sites are large and there is plenty of room for everyone. The campground is closed to the general public until Memorial Day weekend. Ranger Chris is once again opening the weekend before just for the VW Family! It’s a secret - it’s always special. The gate will open on Thursday, May 15th at noon. There will be space for you - no reservations are needed! We have never turned anyone away. We love that this event brings in 60+ VWs every year. This event is special and we have many people who have been attending since the first year. Enjoy camping under the Redwood canopy, float on the river (private access just across the road), clean bathrooms with hot showers and flush…See More
