Vintage Camper Trailer - lakeside site 1 hour from Minneapolis St. Paul Glamping


Carefully curated vintage trailer (a 1962 Mallard) for rent on lakefront property one hour NW of Twin Cities. All linens, pots/pans, utensils, vintage dishes and bar ware supplied. Charcoal grill, camp stove, hot plate and microwave are provided (for safety, no open cooking, smoking or open flame is allowed in the trailer). Large dorm-size refrigerator provided, but larger on-site refrigeration can be available if needed. Old magazines, vintage board games and lawn games. Enjoy a cozy campfire with some wood provided (add'l avail at nominal cost).

NO running water in the trailer
(fresh water is on-site) or modern facilities but a clean portable toilet is on-site and Mother Nature provides a large bathtub (a.k.a. the lake, seaweed included at no charge). For convenience, a camp toilet is provided in the trailer reserved for middle-of-the night needs.

There is no air conditioning but several fans are supplied for your comfort and most nights will be comfortable sleeping weather. All you need to bring are your toiletries, bathing suit and sunscreen! And yes, chances are good that you will need to bring bug spray - this is Minnesota after all.

The Sand Dunes State Forest is six miles away and a nice township park with playground equipment, volleyball and basketball courts is just a mile down the road. Only three miles from town for restaurant dining or delivery if you choose.

You are welcome to bring your own watercraft. A paddle boat and row boat are available for use.

Vintage is accurate description right down to the dust mites in the bed,I have a bad allergy to them and ended up in Urgent care Sunday of our stay to get treatment.

Fun weekend getaway!

Booking the listing was a breeze. I was very surprised there was availability as my vacation plans were a bit last minute. From the listing it seemed at first to be a bit sketchy as I am not familiar with online bookings and given the info I just wasn't sure. The photos were not as detailed as I like, but I got the idea of it. it looked super retro and totally my jam and so I figured why not just give it a try. Well...I am so glad I did! What a fun little set up. The vintage touch is spot on and brought memories of times of the past. The trailer was well organized, clean and had everything I needed. Margaret was on site upon arrival and was a very good host. She showed us all the operations and it's quirks. With anything vintage it has its own set of quirkiness. This property hosted a very nice space for food prep, food waste, and dish washing. Small refrigerator on site with a microwave however being so close to town it wasn't used much. The outdoor table burner stove worked for most of our food prep needs. Plenty of games and outdoor play toys. The paddle boat was by far my favorite touch. The water is mere feet from the door. As far as bathroom needs there is a biff on site and not far at all from the camper. It was well maintained and stocked with toilet paper. The camper stayed nice and cool with good air flow and most of all stayed dry during a crazy storm that passed through.Overall very pleased with my stay and will definitely return in the future! Thank you Margaret

Until we meet again!

My daughter (10 years old) and I stayed at the camper in July. I can’t express enough what a pleasant setting the camper, property and lake provided. It was our little oasis that was unique and told a story in all the little details Margret put together. Margret also had supplied above and beyond what you would except, from cooking utensils, lake floaties, board games and firewood. A vintage camper that laid the perfect foundation for new memories and fun. We will definitely be back again!

We were the first people to stay here and it was very peaceful - we were blessed with great weather so spent an entire day enjoying the lake and our own private bonfire at night! If you are okay with glamorous camping and enjoy historic touches then this place is a must! The owner is very friendly and communicates well once you reserve your time.

This place is fab. 1962 caravan decorated with MCM Adorableness.

Margaret is an exceptional host. Very inviting, friendly, accommodating and exceedingly helpful. The caravan is darling and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Firewood was available upon request for a very reasonable fee. Clean, charming and stocked with more than you would ever need.
