Glamping, but in an Airstream Trailer? Meet Autocamp

Comfort Meets the Great Outdoors

AutoCamp redefines camping by merging the raw beauty of some of the country’s most magnificent natural landscapes with the perks of boutique hotel camping. Imagine waking up in a plush bed and sipping coffee from a private patio, all the while still listening to the soft sounds of nature.. AutoCamp achieves this combination by offering a mix of airstream camping accommodations, luxury tents, and modernized cabins that feel like home but are close to the wild. Each unit comes with air conditioning, heating, private bathrooms, high-quality linens, and fully stocked kitchens.

The rustic side shines through in the thoughtful design. Private fire pits and picnic tables adorn each accommodation and invite visitors to take part in iconic camping experiences like roasting marshmallows or grilling dinner under the star-lit sky. AutoCamp’s locations are situated in stunning landscapes, encouraging visitors to hike, stargaze, or simply relax and soak in the views. Sustainability is woven into the experience, with native plantings, solar power, and water-saving systems that let visitors enjoy nature without undue harm. Communal spaces, like stylish clubhouses, swimming pools, shared fire pits, foster a sense of camaraderie bringing back a relaxed summer camp vibe. This blend of easy access to adventure with ease of living makes AutoCamp an ideal base for exploring without the hassle of traditional camping.

Inside the Autocamp Experience

At the heart of AutoCamp’s appeal are its custom-designed Airstream camping trailers, those shiny, retro-inspired suites that have helped redefine glamping. These 31-foot trailers, crafted with input from Anacapa Architecture, sleep up to three adults of a family of four, offering a queen bed and a sofa bed. Step inside, and visitors are greeted by a bright, airy space with mid-century modern vibes. Large windows frame breathtaking views, from Joshua Tree’s unending desert expanse, to the Catskill’s forested cliffs. The interiors are decked out in earthy tones, sleek furnishings, and site-specific art, creating both a nostalgic and sophisticated vibe. Like something right out of a Pinterest board.

The bedroom boasts a queen bed with high thread count linens and fluffy pillows, perfect for a rest after a long day spent exploring in the elements. The spa-like bathroom is a standout, with a walk-in rain shower, a full size vanity, toilet, and organic bathing products. Visitors will also find plush towels, bathrobes, and a hairdryer–all details aimed at elevating the experience far beyond a typical campsite. A compact kitchenette includes a microwave, a mini fridge, basic cookware, and a coffee maker, making it easy to create a fantastic meal. Climate control keeps the trailer comfortable year-round.

There are various airstream camping accommodations to fit your desires. Classic Suites are closer to communal areas and are great for families or those looking for more of a social buzz. Premium suites are tucked away from the hum for privacy, perfect for those looking to get away from it all. At select locations, such as Joshua Tree, certain Airstreams offer prime views and even an outdoor shower for an extra touch of luxury in nature.

ADA suites are also available ensuring inclusivity at all locations. Guests often compare AutoCamp accommodations to high-end hotel rooms.

Autocamp Amenities

Autocamp’s magic extends beyond its Airstreams and accommodation options to its thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces that cater to both relaxing and adventure. Each Airstream, tent, or cabin comes with a private patio featuring a fire pit with a grill, great for making quintessential camping delights like s’mores or campfire potatoes. A picnic table and extra chairs create a cozy spot for outdoor meals or morning coffee with a view. 

Communal areas take the experience up a notch. In certain locations, a clubhouse brings stylish mid-century flair hangs, functioning as a lounge, bar, and general store. Guests can grab anything they’ve forgotten like BBQ kits, s’mores supplies, or local beer or wine. Heated pools (available in Joshua Tree) and hot tubs like at the Russian River location, offer a place to seasonally unwind. Yosemite’s scenic roof deck is a stargazer’s dream, while its freshwater pond adds a tranquil touch. Low-key mood lighting keeps pathways safe without ruining the night sky. Views are a highlight of many guests’ experiences, with Joshua Tree’s desert vistas and Yosemite’s granite cliffs stealing the show. 

AutoCamp also keeps guests and visitors entertained with complimentary activities like yoga sessions, wine tastings, ecology walks, and night-sky photography seminars. Kids can enjoy arts and crafts and swingsets, while mountain bikes (available for rent at certain locations) allow visitors to explore the trails. Games like Jenga and cornhole add a playful vibe and a 24/7 gated entry with key card access ensures safety while on the road. Each location offers its own unique amenities, guests are encouraged to research each location as they are all uniquely charming.
