Summary
Reviving the Camping Experience
There’s nothing quite like experiencing a night under the stars to evoke childhood memories. The delightful smell of an open fire and the nostalgic art of perfectly toasting a marshmallow becomes even more delightful when accompanied by a cozy camping trailer in the background.
Thanks to a fleet of new retro trailers available to rent at campgrounds across the East Coast, recreating that nostalgia has never been easier. Spacious Skies Campgrounds operates 12 campgrounds from Maine to North Carolina, and they recently added a collection of charming 1950s-style camping trailers to enhance their offerings.
The Charm of Retro Trailers
The teardrop-shaped trailers range from 13 to 28 feet in length and exude a distinct 1950s vibe. Their white exteriors are beautifully complemented by vintage colors reminiscent of grandma’s era—baby blue, bright red, and teal. Inside, you will find black-and-white checkered floors, birch cabinetry, and colorful cushions that capture the essence of retro aesthetics.
Modern Comforts Amidst Nature
While the trailer’s look and feel are retro, the amenities are decidedly modern. You won’t have to contend with old appliances; everything is brand new, built by the team at Riverside RV. The modern kitchens feature new ovens, stovetops, microwaves, and come equipped with all necessities from dishes to coffee makers. Furthermore, your own private toilet and shower enhance the experience considerably.
Ali Rasmussen, CEO and Creative Director for Spacious Skies, mentioned that “The exteriors of the retro trailers look like they were charmingly preserved in the 1950s but are modern inside. Whether reminiscing about childhood or seeking a unique experience, these units are bound to be popular among guests visiting Spacious Skies campgrounds.”
Moreover, all Spacious Skies campgrounds offer full hook-up sites that provide water, electric, and sewer connections, with many locations featuring cable and Wi-Fi as well. Importantly, despite the modern conveniences, these campgrounds maintain an authentic connection to nature, situated in some of the most beautiful surroundings in the Eastern United States—from picturesque New Hampshire lakefronts to the serene Adirondack Mountains.
Where to Rent Retro Trailers
The delightful retro trailers are currently available for rent at four of the campgrounds operated by Spacious Skies. These include:
- Spacious Skies Walnut Grove in Alfred, Maine
- Spacious Skies French Pond in Henniker, New Hampshire
- Spacious Skies Woodland Hills in Austerlitz, New York
- Spacious Skies Country Oaks in Dorothy, New Jersey
Eventually, Spacious Skies plans to expand the availability of these nostalgic trailers to all 12 of their campgrounds. The charm and unique experience of retro camping are just a reservation away!
