Camper Vantiquities is a 1993 rarities compilation album by musical group Camper Van Beethoven, released on I.R.S. It included the earlier EP Vampire Can Mating Oven and a number of other unreleased tracks, compiled by bassist Victor Krummenacher a few years after the band split up. The 2004 re-release added several more tracks, all demo versions of songs that appeared on the band's two Virgin Records albums.
