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.

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.

Bus City XVI at Schoolhouse Canyon Campground

May 16, 2024 at 12pm to May 19, 2024 at 11am
We are starting this weekend one day early this year! Check in is at noon on Thursday, May 16th.  One lucky bus or van (including occupants) will get their camping for free from Ranger Chris! Only Ranger Chris knows what lucky camper this will be. There is no such thing as reservations for this event! Drive in and pick your spot or join another camper and make new friends.The campground is closed to the general public until Memorial Day. But, Ranger Chris opens it JUST FOR US the weekend before! It’s a secret - it’s special! Trust us - this is our 16th year! The gate will open this year on Thursday, May 16th at noon. That’s right - we are adding one more day to this amazing weekend.There will be space for you - no reservations needed. We have never turned anyone away. We love that this event brings 60-80 VW’s every year!What makes this event so special - the beautiful setting in the redwoods, hot showers, flush toilets, dishwashing stations, access to a private beach on the Russian…See More

420 In The Foothills at Lime Saddle CG, Lake Oroville

April 19, 2024 at 3pm to April 21, 2024 at 12pm
Saddle up Volks!VWCF is going to the foothills near Lake Oroville at Lime Saddle Campground. This place is beautiful this time of year whilst it's still green and the wildflowers are out. Soon after, this place is parched and HOT. LS is fairly new, with flush commodes and showers. There's a nice short trail amongst the oaks with an explosion of wildflowers. If you have a boat there's a marina nearby.The old VWCF adage holds - Bring firewood. Bring tasty beverages. Bring a friend. Have fun.hope to see you there!See More
