Established in 2007 as the UK’s first ever VW California Club, theVWCalifornia.com has grown to become the best resource for all things VW California, and more importantly it’s the original website for people with a passion for these amazing campervans to discuss and enjoy their passion. If you love, own or want to own a Volkswagen California Camper then this is the place to be. Designed and published by VW California owners, this website provides a treasure trove of information, news, events, recommendations and insider information.
Sometimes copied but never bettered! We are proud to be the biggest VW California resource in the UK with thousands of members. Join our Facebook Social Group and share your adventures, stories and photos. We want to hear from all of you – The Volkswagen California is the ultimate camper van adventure; a journey that never ends! Click here to discover more about the VW California, the first and now the only factory built camper van by Volkswagen. Despite the Volkswagen brand being synonymous with camper vans, all previous incarnations were after market conversions, many made by Westfalia; the company that gave the California its name.
The VW California offers complete motoring comfort. With car-like dimensions it fits in to multi-story and supermarket car parks with ease, and is a pleasure to drive on a daily basis around town or on long motoring trips. Well equipped as standard, it includes all the comforts you’d want from a Campervan including refrigerator box, hob, sink with running water, two front revolving ‘captains’ chairs, a sliding rear bench seat on rails, which folds down to form a large double bed. With technology at the forefront it includes an onboard computer system that gives you information on temperature, water levels and more. The VW California is the ultimate family car, the ultimate compact user friendly camper van and an absolute future classic. This website offers a resource for all things Volkswagen California and invites you to join the original and best community there is.

Get Involved!
Originally running on an independent platform, our social media presence now includes an ever expanding Facebook community that reaches thousands of people every week and invites users from all over the world to celebrate their love of this iconic vehicle.
We made the decision to do this because we realise that people prefer to use a single log in to connect themselves to their multitude of interests, and we are all about engaging with as many people as possible – and while we are primarily UK focused, we are still an inclusive group, open to everyone regardless of background and level of expertise.
Also, because our Facebook group is completely unaffiliated with Volkswagen we can allow open discussion on all aspects of Volkswagen California ownership in an environment that’s free from spam.
It is always free to browse, so if you’re an owner or dreamer then please join, take part, post your questions, tips and share your experiences and adventures!
