Glampers

Glamping!!!! I have been searching for the perfect vintage "canned ham" camper for awhile.  I still have not captured one to own yet but I am determined to someday be able to be among the Glamping Crowd.  I have never been one to camp you know too many bugs and no air conditioning but..........
If I could find the perfect little vintage trailer I may reconsider camping and become a glamper!!!! I really want to find one of these little sweet cans of yummyness to put in my backyard to fix up cute.  Until then I thought I would share some pictures of some that got away from me or are hopefully in my future.

Most of the pictures are via blogs and pinterest!!!!

  1. Oh, I miss camping, but don't think I could sleep on the ground ever again. But, I would love any of those cute trailers.

    I read about a spot in Arizona where instead of cottages, everyone rents a trailer all "glamped" out.

    Thanks for the fun eye candy.

    1. Carol,
      I am so not a camper. My idea of camping is the Hampton Inn with comfy beds, air conditioner and no bugs!!!! But I would really love to have one of these for my back yard and I might even consider a junking trip with it.

    1. Hi Marty,
      Since they are all the rage they are hard to come by. I keep looking. Almost had my hands on one a couple of weeks ago but before I could go look at it, it sold. :( I am hopeful to find one someday.

  9. Oh my!! Glam indeed.
    I am NOT a camper. I was not made to be without air conditioning and good quality sheets, running water......
    We tried the camping thing. Oh no Thank you. Now we cruise and vacation at nice hotels across the country with lots of niceties.
    But one of these would make a cute addition to a back garden all dolled up. A refuge.. I hear ya Kris!!
    Happy Sunday.

    1. Hi Gee,
      I am right there with you. I like clean running water a great shower and comfy beds too. I just think one of these dolled up in my backyard would be such a hoot. Someday I hope.

  10. I'm forwarding this post to our oldest daughter. They own a 1950's camper that they camp in with their 2 year old and 6 month old baby! I'm sure you'll find one of your own to glam up!

  11. I sold my 1956 Aljo trailer 20 years ago. I have been sorry ever since. I just hope some sweet lady is happy to have it!

  12. WOW, those were AWESOME! Sure gives me the BUG! Not sure if I would really have one, but it is FUN to see them all dolled up!

  15. I'm with you Kris. Would love to have one of those little darlings! Just in my back yard to use as a get away spot. When I "camp" I need a little more room, that's why I love my MOHO. But you can't make those bigger ones look as cute! And that's what it's all about, isn't it. Actually we had a 17 foot Aristocrat trailer back when the kids were small that I'd give my eye teeth for now. Had the aqua interior. Too Cute!..Happy Weekend..Judy

  26. I'm with you, Kris. They just seem to get away. Everyone has gotten to all of them ahead of us. But oh, what a lot of cute decorating they have done. So many people have paved the way with style to give us ideas. One day...

  27. Happy Monday Hon! Aren't those just the cutest things? I've wanted one in my yard forever! I think it comes from not having a playhouse when I was a kid. Who knows? Have you read the book "Sisters on the Fly"? I think you'd really like it. It's all about the group of the same name, all women, who glamp all over with their little trailers. They fly fish, ride horses, cook out doors, have happy hours, just sounds like so much fun! Last I looked, there were over 3,000 members! The book is written by Irene Rawlins, she has a page on face book and is so sweet. It has great stories, photos, tips of purchasing a camper, what to watch out for, how to refurbish and decorate, even recipes for food and those all important glamping cocktails! I think the idea sounds like so much fun and yes, I'd need a cute matching old truck too! I'm thinking pink, or course! Thanks for sharing your collection of pins - love them! Have a great day! Hugs, Leena

  28. I KNEW something was up. I am following your Pinterest and saw all the pins you are making lately. So I suspected you were up to something. lol

  29. Adorable! I see so many of them here in SC. When I was in Austin, there was a Airstream that was turned into a little cupcake stand. It was adorable....something I would love to have here in SC!

    Have a wonderful day!

  30. Hi Kris,
    I want one so bad as well. I fell in love with one that the owner of Ruby Begonia's in Morris was selling! It was a vintage Shasta painted black and white and all cottaged up on the inside! Did you happen to see it? It was on her blog as well. It turned out our SUV couldn't tow the weight of it so that was a no go! It would have been perfect for a guest cottage at the lake also! uggghhhh!

  31. OMG Kris, these are so adorable! I can't pick a favorite but the ones with all the white just makes them feel so calm and easy to relax in and they have a sense of coolness. I think the white makes them feel very light and airy. I am not a camper at all, I need the AC and indoor plumbing. I can see myself hanging out in these for sure. Great post!

  32. We have a camper about the size of the one being pulled by little green truck and it looks inside kitchen area like the one with aqua and white.
    Our Ford Ranger pulls it to the state park about 7 1/2 miles away but would need a heavier vehicle to haul any distance.
    I love our little trailer but hubs not able to set it up anymore and we can't afford the campsite fees anymore. Want to buy it? We live in western CO, about 18 miles west of Grand Junction, CO. It has storage over the table area which makes into a bed and the bed is up front where it's a couch. There's no bathroom but we put a porta potty in it for me. The door is in the back end.
    I love it and wanted to fix it up like ones you showed but it was hubs trailer so it got western curtains. Let me know what you think @: FurryKidzPaperworx@gmail.com I'd love somebody like you to buy it not some ornery old hunter.

  37. HI!
    LOVE all these trailers! I have a quick question, we are going to make over a vintage trailer and I especially love all the light fixtures...

    This is what I am wondering about... do people put in regular home style light fixtures? anyone have any tips on how to go about that? I found some info on the forums and from what I am seeing you can use home fixtures you just use the special 12v light bulbs... I am just hoping to get some advise from someone who actually did it.

    Thanks!
    Kerri

  38. I am inspired by the sunroom off the glamper. We just started rehabbing Wanda, our '81 Sunline this summer. She has an awning that would lend itself well to some curtains and a makeshift sunroom. I have to give that some serious thought. If you'd like to see our initial attempt at glamping our new/old camper, you can read about our efforts at wanderlustvintagepopupshop.blogspot.com

  39. Kris, love your post!! I noticed you are from Lake Zurich. I grew up there! It was a sweet little town when I lived there in the 60's. Downtown was all that was there, but it had a grocery store (IGA), drug store, schools,a pizza parlor and the lake! I went to Seth Paine Elem. School (which was destroyed in the 60's tornado.) I moved to Alabama in 1970, but remember my little village fondly.. :)

    1. So sweet. You would not recognize Lake Zurich now. It is grown! Lots of suburbs now. I was subbing in the school as a nurse at Seth Paine. Sweet smaller school of all the schools. We just moved from Lake Zurich. I miss that sweet town.
      Thanks for your visit.

  41. Hey all. I know this is an old post but I was in the same boat.I could not find a camper that was to my liking that wasn't a million $$$$ Recently a friend referred me to someone who customizes them and she is way reasonable! She just set up a website but def. worth taking a peek.
