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.

May 14, 2026 at 12pm to May 17, 2026 at 10am

There are no reservations for this event, the sites are large and campsite sharing is encouraged. Never in the previous 17 years of this event has anyone ever been turned away due to lack of space.Come out and enjoy a nod to a simpler time when a family could sit around a campfire and tell stories, swim in the river (private access), go fishing and have fun. This is a true heritage park, one of the last real tent campgrounds on the Russian River. Loud or obnoxious behavior will not be tolerated, and you will be asked to leave with no refund (never…See More

Annual Soup-r-Bowl Campout, February 6-8, 2026 at Sandy Beach CG

February 6, 2026 at 2pm to February 8, 2026 at 11am
Greetings.  It's that time again for the Soup-r-Bowl potluck at Sandy Beach CG in Rio Vista.  Bring a tasty something that fits in a bowl for Saturday night.  Chow time starts around 3pm, to 4pm.  Casual dining until your belly is full.   As of this writing there are about four weeks to book your site.  The window closes two weeks before Feb 6.  Do the math.  Post up if you can share with another vehicle.  This event is open to all present, past and future VW owners.  Run what ya brung.  Stop in , say hello. Rain or shine.  There should be shelter of some sort to help the Frigid February Fanny Freeze Food Fest.  Sorry., had to add that in there.  Bring wood.  Bring wine. Bring a chair.  Bring a spoon.  You'll be home in plenty of time to watch the game. Cya there .See More

"Oh yeah.  It's still on.  It's an annual thing.  All we can do is post the event(s).  It's up to you all if ya wanna get out or not.  The ebb and flow of life perhaps.  No harm.  No foul.  "
