Camping<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is something a lot of people have been thinking about lately. It’s a great way to get outside with your friends or family while still not being right on top of people. One unique way to go camping is to do it in a Volkswagen camper van.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you live in or are planning on visiting the St. Petersburg<\/a>\/Tampa<\/a> area, you can rent a Volkswagen camper van from\u00a0<\/span>Florida Old Scool Campers<\/span><\/a>. We rented one a few years back, and it’s still a great memory for my family. Here’s a recap of where we went, how the van did and some things you should know before renting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rent A Volkswagen Camper Van<\/span><\/h3>\n

Florida Old Scool Campers has been in business for ten years and began because the owners, Mike and Dixie Phillips, think it’s the best way to travel. Dixie Phillips says her favorite Florida trip is between Flagler Beach and St. Augustine on the state’s east coast.<\/span><\/p>\n

“A1A is the perfect speed for a VW Bus with the ocean breeze, smell and the view of waves crashing on the beach.” said Dixie.<\/span><\/p>\n

She also said it’s a great way to practice self-distancing, no matter why you’d want a little privacy:<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s easy to isolate as the bus slides into any standard parking place. You are self contained with everything you need inside the bus.”<\/span><\/p>\n

All of the VW camper vans at Florida Old Scool Campers have names and personalities. We rented Krazy Karl, who is a yellow 1979 Westfalia. Taking Krazy Karl out on the road was an invitation for the other drivers to stare. And he was a blast to drive.<\/span><\/p>\n
