Provides thorough orientation and gear. Tyler gives detailed orientations, explaining all operations, and fully stocks the camper with superior cooking utensils, bedding, and a mattress topper, making it well-prepared.

Rides like a dream, drives easily. The 1985 VW Westfalia performs well, is clean, runs wonderfully, and is equipped with everything needed. Despite typical vintage VW quirks, it offers a great road experience.

What’s nearby

Based in the gold country off highway 49 in Mokelumne Hill, Choncho is in the middle of the Sierra Nevada. A short scenic drive( 2 hours/ 100 miles) to the south will get you to Yosemite National Park or (2 hours/ 100 miles) to the east will lead you to South Lake Tahoe. Or you can link both destinations in one trip and cross over Tioga Pass. However, Tioga Pass is closed in winter normally (November through May). Depends on the snow on the pass.
Countless other places to visit: Calaveras Big Trees, Lake Alpine, Cherry Lake, Mono Lake, Twin Lakes, Mammoth, and many other off the beaten path destinations.
Example: Tuolumne River, Merced River, Bodie, and many others. Just ask!
And remember since Choncho is powered by Subaru, you won’t have any problems with keeping up with traffic on the mountain grades.
