Campervanning with kids: the practical guide
A campervan is the trip kids never forget: sleeping under the pop-up roof, breakfast with a view, and a new landscape every day without packing and unpacking. The VW California sleeps 4 — adults below, delighted kids upstairs — with everything within reach.

Three weekend escapes that work
Montseny (45 min from pickup): overnight area in Viladrau, short forest walks and farmhouse breakfasts — the easiest first trip. The Ebro Delta (2.5 h): flat cycling paths perfect for small legs, flamingos, and a beachside motorhome area at Riumar. The Empordà wetlands (1.25 h): boardwalks full of birds, sandy coves at Sant Martí d'Empúries and ice cream in L'Escala.
How everyone actually sleeps
The roof bed is the star of the trip — kids climb a little ladder into their own den (it takes up to 200 kg). The lower double folds out from the seats in a minute, and the parking heater keeps the van cosy even in November. Parent tip: bring their own pillows and a headtorch each.
Safety and logistics
Child seats anchor with standard Isofix in the rear seats. The fridge keeps dinners and milk cold, and the optional kitchen kit covers cooking like at home. Elevated seats, good views and hourly stops make the California a friendly ride for kids prone to car sickness.
