Camp Westfalia Journeys

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”
Douglas Adams

Freedom.  Adventure.  The allure of the open road …

The Vanagon Westfalia Camper offers all these in full measure. Whether visiting a previously undiscovered corner of your own state or embarking upon a long voyage across this vast continent, the Westy is uniquely qualified for such cross-country travel.

I offer here a modest selection of some of our most recent Westy trips—more coming soon! Feel free to leave a comment, question, or a link to stories of your own!

It’s always nice to hear from a new old friend …
