Barnegat Lighthouse State Park set the scene for the South Jersey Volkswagen Club’s camper rally and campout this weekend, which drew dozens of enthusiasts with their old VW buses, campers and teardrop trailers. The event is a judged show, potluck dinner, bonfire on the beach and overnight stay in the parking lot – an all-around celebration of the sense of adventure and freedom the Volkswagen brand evokes.

The first of such events was held in Bass River State Forest in 2015.
