From classic Airstreams to WWII era buses, vintage campers always seem to be the star of the campground. What could be better than a campground full of old school rigs?

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

This unique campground is owned by Kate Pierson, one of the lead singers and founding members of The B-52’s. Located in California’s Mojave Desert, the Lazy Desert is the offshoot of Kate’s Lazy Meadow hotel in Mount Tremper, New York.

The Lazy Desert has six different Airstreams for rent including the kitschy 32-foot-long “Tinkerbell” and the dog-friendly “Hairstream” reminiscent of the musical “Hairspray.”

2. The Vintages Trailer Resort

Located in the heart of Willamette Valley in Oregon, The Vintages Trailer Resort offers nearly 20 beautifully restored campers and trailers for rent. Everything from a 1956 Santa Fe to a Neutron custom built by Flyte Camp is available for nightly or weekly stays.

6. Desert Sands Trailer 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.

7. The Starlite Classic Campground

The Starlite Classic Campground in Canon City, Colorado embraces retro in every way with their colorful playground, mini golf, and pool. They offer pull-through spots for regular RVs, but many people come here to stay in the vintage campers.
