Welcome to Buses by the Beach!
We are a group of VW van lovers, and while we are based in the West Michigan area, we draw VW bus owners and their families from all over the USA and Canada. Since 2003, we have combined our love of Volkswagen-style camping with raising money for the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors.
