Each year, the Aristocrats Anonymous Rally in the Redwoods brings together a laid-back and welcoming group of vintage camping enthusiasts for a relaxed weekend of camaraderie, conversation, and classic rigs. Held at the scenic Santa Cruz Redwoods RV Park in California, the rally is as much about the people as it is about the campers.
Aristocrats Anonymous is known for its inclusive spirit. Despite the playful name, the group welcomes vintage campers, trailers, and RVs of all makes, models, and eras. From polished aluminum icons to well-loved classics showing their patina, the variety of rigs reflects the diverse backgrounds and styles of the owners themselves.
The weekend kicks off with a Friday Meet and Greet, giving attendees a chance to reconnect with old friends and welcome newcomers. It’s an easygoing evening filled with camp chairs, shared stories, and plenty of appreciation for the setting—towering redwoods, coastal air, and the unmistakable charm of camping among giants.
Saturday is the heart of the rally, featuring an Open House and Progressive Brunch. Participants open their campers for tours, inviting others inside to admire restorations, clever layouts, and personal touches. The progressive brunch adds to the fun, with small bites and drinks shared from site to site, encouraging conversation and discovery along the way.
What makes the Aristocrats Anonymous Rally special isn’t just the vintage hardware—it’s the sense of community. The group values connection over perfection, creativity over conformity, and enjoyment over formality. Whether you arrive in a high-end restoration or a work-in-progress, you’re welcomed just the same.
For those who appreciate vintage camping, good company, and the magic of the redwoods, the Aristocrats Anonymous Rally continues to be a standout gathering and a reminder of why this hobby brings people together year after year.
