Event Description
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RESERVATIONS FOR THIS EVENT.
The campground is closed to the general public until Memorial Day. But Ranger Chris opens the campground Friday morning JUST FOR US. It's secret! It's special. We've been doing this for over 10 years!!!! Trust us. The campground will be open on Friday at 9 a.m.
There will be space for you - no reservation needed. We have had years with over 60+ VWs and plenty of room to spare. No early birds please. Friday is the first day you can camp. If you want to stay the week, you are welcome to extend your stay.
Simply RSVP here so we have an idea on how many might show up and then show up! No worries!
For those of you who have been, you know why you come back.

During a VW cross country adventure we came upon 2 Westies at a gas station near Eureka in 2016 and the 2 owners invited us to Bus City 2016. We were the 48th bus to join the group at the Schoolhouse campground. We had a great time and took a lot of photos. We hope to be in the area this May and if we are, this event is on the calendar! Hope to see all the incredible buses and people again!

I think that, after last year, Laura May decided that it should be known that if you grab a space that can accommodate more than just your vehicle, you would be expected to share unless you specifically ask that you have it for yourself. That way, we can be sure that there will be enough space for all the buses that will be showing up. Do I have that wrong, Laura?

I’ll be back with my paint pens and cork lights again. Will have a few bottles with me but feel free to bring your own to decorate.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at this event. Please be prepared to share your camp site with others. Last year we had 85+ VWs; and had to, unfortunately, turn people away at the gate. We would love for everyone to be able to enjoy this amazing weekend. There are a few smaller sites at the camp ground (if you really prefer not to share). If this is the case, please plan to arrive early to claim one. We have an amazing community of fellow VW lovers and through these camp outs, some of us have made life long friends.

Laura, can we let the front office know if we still have space in our site?
We were in 2 sites with just 4 vans last year. Could have fit a couple more.

Hi friends!
Looking forward to seeing everyone in two weeks! It should be another great weekend for us at Schoolhouse! Thanks to everyone willing to share their sites. I will work closely with Chris to make sure we can fit everyone in. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
I know there has been some difficulty with people RSVPing on this site. It looks like we have a lot of interest on our Facebook page. Please spread the word.
We are so grateful to Chris and Corina for welcoming us back each year and to Brett Van Emst of Big Blue for starting this event at this beautiful campground.
Travel safely, bring wine, bring firewood and bring your VWs! Looking forward to hearing what you have been up to this past year.
PS - We will record mileage as we make the rounds for the 2023 most traveled award.

Thanks for giving it a miss, Scott and Karla. You're thinking of our health, and that's what friends do.
