Airstream founder Wally Byam believed whole-heartedly that caravanning with groups of like-minded travelers was a thrilling way to see the world. Wally personally led dozens of caravans around the world and across the United States. Today, Wally’s spirit of communal adventure lives on in the Wally Byam Caravan Club International.
Founded in 1955, the WBCCI is an organization of Airstreamers who enjoy traveling and exploring together. Every year, a wide variety of caravans are planned and led by experienced caravan leaders who share their knowledge of locales all across the United States. Typically, caravans focus on one region or theme – from historical events to musical adventures to regional sites of interest.
WBCCI members participate in caravans knowing they will get the most economical and enjoyable experience possible, with many special discounts and exclusive camping experiences. Along the way, they make lifelong friendships with other caravan members.
Some caravans are short jaunts. Others are multi-week affairs. Some are offered every year, others every two years. But no matter what, every caravan is an experience the participants won’t soon forget. Many WBCCI caravans sell out far in advance (sometimes a whole year ahead, so plan accordingly).
Several 2018 WBCCI Caravans are still open for reservations. See below for a selection of current offerings that were still open and available at the time of publication.
