Summersville Lake Retreat & Lighthouse

Vintage Campers

Glamping in Style! Want a weekend away without the hassle of bringing a tent or your own camper? We now have 4 vintage campers from the 60’s and early 70’s. “Glamping” or “glamorous camping” is camping that includes some of the creature comforts from home but with the same access to nature as traditional camping. Our vintage campers are permanently situated in our north forest area and sit back from the road to give you plenty of private space. They are all tiny but you can choose from a Betty our 1963 Shasta, Wilma our 1969 Holiday Rambler or Shirley our 1964 Joy camper. Our campers have been carefully renovated to make your stay comfortable for 2 adults including a bed with linens, table and chairs, refrigerator, microwave and electric outlets. Outside you have seating areas and a firepit. There is no running water or bathroom in these campers but a central bathroom with water is located right across the path. Wifi doesn’t work in the woods but you will have cell phone reception. All of campers are dog friendly and work best with smaller pets under 30lbs. Our vintage camper area is located right across from our forest firepit and hammock hangout. Of course you are just a short walk from our showerhouse, playground, and trails. We have onsite housekeeping that ensures your camper is clean and ready when you arrive. We offer free delivery of firewood and ice from our store too!

Hammock Hangout
