Make It A Full Weekend At Starlite Vintage Resort
Part of what makes this event stand out is where it’s hosted. Starlite Vintage Resort and the surrounding Cañon City area turn the campout into more than just a meetup—it becomes a full weekend experience.
Between drives and time at camp, there’s plenty to explore nearby. From the Royal Gorge Bridge to scenic trails, local shops & restaurants, and even rafting along the Arkansas River. The area gives you options without forcing a packed schedule and can keep the weekend as active or as relaxed as you want.
Back at Starlite Vintage Resort, the setting keeps everything connected. Explore vintage RVs, games, campfires, an on-site pool and sauna, and much more at our award winning campground. The proximity to the bridge and city makes it easy to move between exploring and simply enjoying the atmosphere with other VW enthusiasts.
Because of the limited space and growing interest each year, spots for the VW Bus Campout tend to fill up quickly. If you’re planning to be part of it, it’s worth securing your spot early before everything is booked out.
