"There's nothing wrong with a coupla boxes of stove top stuffing. I'll entertain a spiral ham perhaps. Maybe someone else would like to bring a protein ? We have time."
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.

Pre-Turkey Day Coma Inducing Food Fest at Sandy Beach Campground, Rio Vista

Who could be thinking about turkey at a time like this you may ask ?! Well, I am, for one. It's time again for the annual GTG at Sandy Beach in Rio Vista Ca. Bring dish, something on the dish, your favorite camp chair, and enjoy the company of like minded peoples. This gathering is open to all people, all ages. Camp with how you came. Past, present, and future VW owners. Everyone has a story. Repeat the mantra after me: Bring wood - Bring wineSee More
