Welcome to The Hotel California
Sometimes copied but never bettered, we are proud to be the oldest Volkswagen California resource in the UK with thousands of members and fans and a whole network of industry support.
Established in 2007 as the UK’s first ever VW California Club, theVWCalifornia.com and associated social media presence has grown to become the best independent resource for everything California, and more importantly it is the original community for people with a passion for these amazing campervans.
If you love, own or want to own a Volkswagen California Camper, or simply require more information, then this is the place to be. Designed and published by VW California owners, and supported and recognised by Volkswagen UK — this website provides a treasure trove of information, news, events, recommendations and insider information.
