6 Ways to Vacation in an Airstream This Summer
How to plan a five-star luxe camping experience.
Autocamp
Across the West, travelers are checking into restored Airstreams, luxury trailer parks, and camping resorts that offer comfort, seclusion, and access to the great outdoors. From Yosemite’s AutoCamp to desert retreats and coastal campgrounds, Airstream travel has become a design-forward alternative to traditional camping. It might just be the perfect solution for those looking to camp, but with a five-star experience. Take a look below at some options for the ultimate glamping experience.
AutoCamp Yosemite
Autocamp Yosemite offers a campground stay hidden off a main road going through Yosemite National Park. It features a pool, small grocery store, and concierge—all elements of a hotel stay. The only difference? Instead of hotel rooms, there are rows of parked airstreams, complete with kitchenettes, private outdoor campfire cooking spaces, kitchenware, and even additional canvas tents.
Caravan Outpost
Caravan Outpost in Ojai, California, boasts free Wi-Fi, outdoor living spaces and complimentary bikes for exploring Ojai. Surrounded by palm trees and greenery, the campground truly feels like a garden, and there’s also cornhole, hammocks, and laid-back bohemian touches throughout.
Autocamp Sonoma
AutoCamp Sonoma offers a beautiful setting surrounded by Redwood trees. It also has a calendar of on-site experiences, from wine tastings to live music to activities for your kids to enjoy.
Greenhorn Ranch
Greenhorn Ranch in Quincy, California, has only one Airstream, but it is creekside. The Greenhorn Ranch Airstream offers privacy and a personal stargazing deck. Guests can enjoy the other activities offered at the ranch, as well, including horseback riding, line dancing, and dining options.
Hart’s Camp
Hart’s Camp has several different Airstreams that vary in size and age, with its largest accommodation sleeping four people. They are pet-friendly and include access to a playground, pool, and putting course—not to mention being quite close to the Pacific City Pathways Trail and Cape Kiwanda Tide Pools.
