May 17 – 20, 2012 http://camper-blue-book-value.com/the-vintage-campers-are-back-at-pismo-beach-may-17-20-2012/ http://camper-blue-book-value.com/the-vintage-campers-are-back-at-pismo-beach-may-17-20-2012/#comments Thu, 17 May 2012 23:27:06 +0000 admin http://camper-blue-book-value.com/?p=1235 The Vintage campers are back at Pismo Beach, California this weekend!  I was in Buellton, about 45 minutes south of Pismo when I saw the most gorgeous red vintage camper pulled by a wonderful old station wagon, also red.  They were in a parking lot, probably a pit stop at Subway, when I spotted them.  By the time I got my camera out they were heading down the road – drat! Missed that shot!  But I LOVE LOVE LOVE vintage campers and trailers!  What’s not to love???  Every time I spot one it’s just pure joy, and if you’ve ever come across one unexpectedly you’ll know what I mean!  So I’m heading up to Pismo Beach this weekend to spot the lovely red camper, and hopefully photograph it!

 

 

 

If you’re in the area, you might get a glimpse of them.  Although I didn’t get to talk to the driver of the adorable red vintage camper, I spoke to their traveling companions to verify they were headed to Pismo Beach, and he told me they’re at the resort right next to the State Park.  If you’re familiar with the area, it’s the campgrounds just south of the pier, and just north of the entrance to the beach where you can drive right onto the beach at Oceano from Grand Ave.

I Love Vintage Campers!  Here’s a website link to find out more.  At the time of this post the information for the “5th Annual Trail Along to Pismo” Vintage Trailer Rally was on their home page.  The rally is sold out, but it looks like the public is invited to join them for an Open House Saturday May 19th from 10:00 to 3:00.  It looks like they’ve taken over the entire Pismo Coast Village RV Resort.  I’ll get the directions for you and post them, and also, here’s the link to the website:  VintageTrailerCamp.com.

The vintage camper trailer rally dates are from Thursday May 14 till Sunday May 17, 2009.  Here is just a sample schedule for the vintage camper trailer rally:

Thursday May 14, 2009: Early vintage trailer group member arrivals can set up and hang out with other vintage campers, no events are planned for this day.

Friday May 15, 2009: Start the morning off with a nice hot cup of Joe in the Club House. The rest of the vintage campers arrive today. This is a great day to walk around the park, get the low down on how to do some new things to your trailer, hang out with old and new friends, do a little sight seeing, shopping, hiking or just relax!

Saturday May 16, 2009: This is The Big Day! After having your morning coffee, everyone will get ready for the Big Open House and Swap Meet. This event is the best part of the whole rally. We will invite the public, vintage camper owners and those who want to be, the Press and everyone else to come on down and visit with us from 11am till 4pm only! In that 5 hour period, every one of them will be coming to see your trailer! We will also hold a swap meet at the same time, so you can all drag out all of those great collectables and vintage trailer related items to sell at your site.  We will be having a pot luck dinner in the club house at 6pm.

Sunday May 17, 2009: It has been a great weekend but it is now time for us to start packing it in for the drive home.

Misty River Cabins & RV Resort is offering a reduced “Group Rate” fee of $32.00 + tax, per site, each night to stay at the park with a two night, Friday and Saturday minimum. These sites are available on
a first come first serve basis and must be reserved before APRIL 30, 2009 for the reduced rate. All sites are “full hook-up”.  Cancellations must be made with Misty River at least 72 hours prior to your scheduled arrival in order to receive a refund. If you would like to extend your stay at Misty River, they have graciously extended the group rate to all rally attendees for 4 day prior to and 4 days after the rally. You can order and pay for those nights when you make your reservation. If you want a camp site next to someone else, we would suggest that you make the arrangements with Misty River at the time you pay for your site.

Important information, please read:
