I've sort of been in a vintage camping mood lately.
A cross between let's rough it, eat s'mores and sleep in a tent. And let's buy one of those cute little vintage campers, drink wine coolers and glam it up.
Believe it or not, I may just be leaning toward the tent route.
I think it's coming from packing my son off to summer camp last week. It got me all nostalgic for Coleman lanterns and archery and all things plaid.
Here are some of what's been inspiring me on Pinterest. I pinned these and a few more on my Vintage Camping Pinterest board.
I was going to make a joke here about having to run to the bathroom, but I just now realized that it's a shower house, not an outhouse.
Not that I wouldn't go #1 in there, I just wouldn't admit that on my blog!
Are you a vintage camping nut?
Do you prefer a tent or a camper? Or a Hampton Inn?

Im a bit in between...more like an Airstream or skoolie kinda camper. Love the pics!

Oh, I love this collection of vintage camp ideas you put together!! I am in the midst of collecting for a vintage camp themed living/bunk room at our little lakehouse, and seeing these pics made me giddy with excitement! I just picked up a few of these types of items at a flea market, my fav being a colorful striped canvas stool. Thanks for the inspiring round up!

Oh thank you! Have you ever visited Musing By Kim K at http://kenward.blogspot.com/ ? Her blog is mainly about adoption and family life, but she and her husband bought a a-frame cabin last year and she's been decorating it with stuff from estate sales. It's very cute, you should check out some of her photos and you might get some more ideas!

I love vintage camping gear! No tents for me! I grew up camping in a 1970s motor home and now my husband and I own a 1956 Aloha canned ham trailer! We would love to use it more 🙂

Oh, that sounds like Heaven to me! I hope you get to take it out more often this summer 🙂

I am a tent camper, just started this year at the ripe age of 60! I'm loving it! Definitely glamping and looking for oldies but goodies. Have the Coleman lanterns and ice chest would like to score the water jugs. Good ideas!
