George, Alyce, Mae and Kim cruise the California Coast in a vintage VW camper van rental from Vintage Surfari Wagons.

If you live in Southern California and have an “Endless Summer” mentality, Vintage Surfari Wagons is probably the van rental company for you. Their fleet of vintage Volkswagen buses from the ‘80s through 2000s look straight from the set of a classic surfing movie, but with the addition of modern upgrades like much-needed air conditioning. Many models include pop-up roofs to create an even breezier open-air vibe, and if you want to go full RV, some have generators and water hook-ups. For those who’re looking for the glamping-est of camper experiences, they also offer tours led by experts.

There’s plenty to experience on a 3 day journey in a Volkswagen Campervan in Southern California, and our winter season is the perfect time for a quick get-away. Minus the summer crowds, and without the summer heat in our desert locales makes for a mighty fine road trip.

Happy Trails Desert Campout

This past March we experienced the Super Bloom as we wandered through the Anza Borrego desert landscape on our group journey, of at times up to 12 VWs, 20 peeps and 3 pups! We hiked, swam and partook of handcrafted libations & camp vittles, and campfires every day of our adventure. In the end new friendships were forged and once in a lifetime memories were made that we'll carry with us on into the years ahead. Here's a peek...

Happy Trails Desert Campout

We're getting ready to roll out our May 23-27th camp tour and have a few spots left for either tag-alongs or Vintage Surfari Wagons' rentals. See our Campouts page here for more details, you won't want to miss the bloom in our California desert this season!
