The Travelers
Explore Northern California with fellow RV enthusiasts. A friendly social group for San Francisco Bay Area and Central Valley RV owners.
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.

We Had a January Side Trip!
Club members hooked-up and planned a “side trip” to Quartzite in January. They had a great time caravaning together. Here are some of the stops along the way: Barstow/Calico KOA park gave them easy access to the Calico Ghost Town; Fenders RV in Needles NV is alongside the Colorado River as well as River Sands RV Resort in Ehrenberg, AZ which landed them 20 miles south of Quartzsite. Leave camp early to get a good parking space in Quartzsite. I recommend bringing a hat, sunglasses, walking shoes, water and tissues. It does get dusty and the ground can be uneven at times.
The group continued their journey to Catalina Spa and RV Resort in Desert Springs giving them a break from the crowd (pool side). Don’t forget to visit the Palm Spring Air Museum (most of the aircraft are inside away from heat), take the Palm Spring Tram (take a jacket there might be snow at the top and hiking shoes) and checkout the high end Thrift Stores with name brand clothing.
Like all RVers, they experienced slide, refrigerator, and generator issues and still had a good time after 1200 miles.

March 2025 Campout
Can't wait to see you all there! Be sure to make your reservations.
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.
