Club History
Club History
The Los Viajaros RV Club was founded in 1960 by a group of San Jose, California IBM employees who enjoyed to camp. Los Viajaros in Spanish means The Travelers. The RV Club was established as the 1st California branch chapter of the National Campers and Hikers Association (NCHA) based in New York.
Today, the RV Club stands as a separate not-for-profit social organization dedicated to friendship, fellowship and the enrichment of the camping and RVing experience. We welcome all RV types.

Did You Miss the August Side Trip?
Did You Miss the August Side Trip?
Club members hooked-up and planned a “side trip” to Bodega Bay RV Park. The heat in California was unbearable that week, except in Bodega Bay! The park is beautifully maintained by a lovely three-generation family. Well, the one-year-old doesn't do much yet, but "poop and eat". We scouted out the club houses and will definitely make reservations in the future. The park has a variety of games to play and two dog runs (small or large dog) with structures for them to climb over. A coffee shop and restaurant are walkable from your site with plenty of tables to sit and make friends. Unfortunately, there are no views.
There is much to see and do in the area. A 30–45-minute drive north, south or east, you'll find shops, produce stands, restaurants, markets and tasting rooms. Towards Sebastopol, we stopped to view the church in the movie "Birds". Once in Sebastopol, we walked down a street lined with quirky metal sculptures, spoke with busy residents, and stopped to our amazement at the artist's home. My personal favorite is the "crowbar", can't stop laughing. Florence Ave Sebastopol: Visiting Unique Junk Art Sculptures
Another day we packed a picnic and wondered south towards Tomales Bay. Stopped for coffee and peeked into several local shops. When we finally got to Point Reyes Lighthouse, it was cold, windy and foggy. Most likely the light house would be closed. Not defeated, we returned to warmer weather and ate our picnic. And yes again, found a stores to investigate.
Our third day, we choose to rest and enjoy the camping life. Bought an ice cream in town and went to the local farmer's market.
October 2025 Campout
October 2025 Campout
We did our share of boosting the economy this campout. The Metal Zoo, secondhand store and Walmart were big hits. Next time I go to Jackson, I want to visit the cemetery! Lou and Andy had some pretty good stories to tell.
Gail had to get a tire replaced on her Class C for the second time at Jackson. Hum...seems odd.
We shared the free clubhouse with the retired CHP officers RV group and enjoyed a Potluck Crockpot Dinner with great sides and desserts.
Jill went swimming (brrrrr) early in the morning.
Members played ping-pong, bocce ball, and put
together a 300 piece puzzle, which unfortunately ended up with one missing piece. It showed up later in the back of our car. Thank you for returning it whoever you are.
Jill coordinating an outing to the kitchen store in Jackson for a demo on kitchen stuff. Appetizers, wine and 20% discount were made available to members. It was a great
success for them and for us. We spent lots of money and came home with everything we needed or didn’t need.
See all in Dec. at Betabel

Our camping year begins in March and goes through December, set by the Camping Director and Committe 12 to 18 months in advance. Normally, there's a travel time of 2 to 3 hours from the San Jose area, and we camp 3 to 4 nights. Many members add additional days or side trips before or after outing. While members are not required to attend every outing, we encourage fun and comradery.
We welcome the opportunity to enrich our RV club with NEW members. Not only are we a group of RV owners, we are The Travelers who enjoy a common social network of interest and friendship.
