Volkswagen releases travel guide for campervans

To celebrate 30 years of the iconic California campervan, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has released a travel guide featuring the 30 best places to camp in the UK, as voted for by California owners. 

The ultimate list of locations includes popular hotspots like Durdle Door in Dorset and Lake Windermere in the Lake District, as well as hidden gems like Tintagel in Cornwall and Pateley Bridge in North Yorkshire. Click here to download the anniversary guide.

A ‘Thirty Years of Adventure' Volkswagen California mural inspired by the best locations in the guide has also been commissioned. The mural, produced by artist Jo Hicks, features the original T3 Volkswagen California and current T6 California 30 Years edition surrounded by classic symbols of the great British holiday. It will be on display throughout November on a feature wall at 77 Clerkenwell Road, Hatton Wall, London EC1N 8HX.

Sarah Cox, head of marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “The Volkswagen California is one of the most iconic models on the road and has been the campervan of choice for so many families holidaying in the UK over the past 30 years. As well as our limited edition model, we’re marking the anniversary with our unique travel guide so owners can get the most out of their holidays and explore some of the nation’s hidden gems.

“The mural is an outstanding piece of artwork which really encapsulates everything the Volkswagen California is about and is the ideal way to mark a very special birthday.”
