RETRO Glamping

-
 I know I'm stretching the meaning of Glamping here. But to me Glamping is any non-traditional camping moving up the scale on the comfort meter. Take a look at a few places around the world that bring modern camping together with retro travel trailer style.








How about this............................ your ready to rest your tiered old 1940's travel trailer tin can and find a place to plug in. Your in France by the way.................. just turn into The Bel Repayre Airstream & Retro Trailer Park. Yes you will be in like company here because you won't be the only vintage on wheels.
The park sports a Lounge/Bar and host a slew of events like rallies and other vintage themed RV events. You can rent a trailer or park your own.




Now if you find yourself in South Africa you might want to untie your shoes here at The Grand Daddy. You got that right............... check out a few the the Airstream's for hire.


The Shady Dell is an American favorite. Here you have 11 different vintage trailers to choose from. Located in Bisbee, Arizona. A virtual tour might be what the doctor ordered.


 




Lastly I'm loving The Starlux in New Jersey. This is a retro hotel with an option for an airstream room starting at $79 a night depending on when you stay. They appear to have a roller coaster park near by and swimming pool. Check it out

First Camptrip Review

Camping was both good and well as usual a learning experience. I've come to decide a few things:   Bring what makes you comfortable without bringing too much I like my camp kitchen set up and don't need to buy anything bigger I don't like the laundry basket idea, I couldn't find anything and prefer the compartments of a duffel bag I'm not into rainy camping when it comes time to pack up. Everything is wet and dirt is stuck to it    Camping with my 5 year old daughter is awesome A truck would make camping easier Bears are fairly harmless but even though I know I don't have to worry about them my instinct says don't sleep the first night I camp. And it's always a thrill to see them. I love my $3 purchase from the thrift store it's very useful as a seat or side table Three days or more of camping makes packing up more tolerable We LOVE smoores with cookies Using a wine box to roll up newsprint for making a fire was a ...

Rock Art: Draw a line or spiral with a long stick and collect rocks and pine cones - place on the line in a pattern. Show them a picture of “The spiral Jetty” by Robert Smithson.   Camp Kitchen: Collect cooking gear from the thrift store, see if you can find items on small scale, find a flat rock, log or camp bench and draw in chalk a stove top (two circles with an “X”) Fill a pitcher of water and tell them to go to town making mud pies and cooking them. (keep mud away from where people walk). Rock & Stick Art: Hunt for sticks and rocks then paint with washable tempera   Pine Cone Critters: Glue small rocks, sticks onto pine cones to make different figures. Tacky glue works best.   Hide & Seek an old stand by.   Bug Hunt with a bug jar.   Hopscotch: Use a long sticks to make squares in dirt & small rocks to throw.   Beading: $1 store good for this, I like using a tray or baking sheet to contain every...
