Solo Camping Adventures
Looking to give your team some extra breathing room during your California offsite? Whether they opt for a night alone to gather their thoughts or simply desire a breather from the corporate grind, our Solo Camping Adventures could be the perfect fit for your team. With all the essentials inside your vintage VW camper, including the kitchen sink, we recommend the following California locations for your free night in nature:
Joshua Tree National Park
Joshua Tree National Park, a top ranked destination in Southern California, offers a unique setting for spending the night in a way cool VW camper… if you can secure a campsite. Book reservations on Recreation.gov, or sites are available on a first come, first serve basis. Ask our guides for tips and tricks – we’ll probably be spending the night in Joshua Tree with you.
Wheeler Gorge
Especially during spring when the water is abundant, Wheeler Gorge is our top choice for a lush mountain campsite location near Santa Barbara. While it was once home to the smallest post office in America (now sadly burned down), Wheeler Gorge offers a serene setting for a peaceful campfire getaway, a respite from the constant buzz of cell phones.
Hearst Castle
Located in San Simeon, not on the Hearst Castle property itself, this campsite is an ideal location for desolate California coastline camping near wine country. We suggest dressing warmly for your visit (the coast can be foggy and cold, even in summer) and to be cautious of poison oak on coastal hikes. Look for campsite reservations on ReserveCalifornia.com.
Imperial Sand Dunes
A standout VW camping destination for motorsport enthusiasts, we recommend the Imperial Sand Dunes for anyone wishing for a drastic change of scenery. Close to Mexico, you’ll be camping in the filming location of Return of the Jedi, with the option to rent an ATV to explore the dunes, some towering over 300 feet in height. Speak to our guides for proper places to park so your VW camper does not get stuck in the sand.
Sycamore Canyon
Sycamore Canyon is great for a digital detox escape, one where you are in tune with nature while hiking, photographing wildlife or strolling along the Pacific Ocean. Only a short drive from Malibu, feel free to do your best One Direction impression as you stay. Reservations are available on ReserveCalifornia.com.
Best VW Glamping For You?
While road trips with your colleagues are an amazing and memorable experience, many crave the freedom to explore California without corporate constraints. And even better when you can escape from ubiquitous technology while doing so. If you want a corporate offsite that is ahead of the curve, one which fosters contentment through experience (and not cell phones), consider our Solo Camping Adventures as part of your VW corporate retreat. It’s how you show your team you care.
