If you’re looking at purchasing a vintage camper (or just want to see what they are like) these five campgrounds have dozens of fun trailers to try before you buy.

1. Kate’s Lazy Desert Airstream Motel

Desert Sands RV Park

Desert Sands is located in Borrego Springs and has been welcoming campers since 1960. More of a community than an RV park, Desert Sands is dotted with various campers from the 1950s and 1960s and many of them are rented out to regulars.

You can choose from vintage Airstreams and Silver Streaks to canned hams like the Shasta. Furthermore, all the rigs have private outdoor seating areas and even the park laundry mat is located in a vintage camper.

7. The Starlite Classic Campground
