This cozy 1949 Jim Dandy Vintage Camper #8 is a perfect getaway for couples looking jump back in time while having all the amenities of modern glamping. This 2-person vintage camper also has the space for a 4-person BYO sidecar tent on the campsite (sleeping 6 total on the site).
Hop back into the forties and experience mid-century camping and decor! The only camper of its kind known to exist, the camper is home to pictures of the couple that built and used the camper – quite a trip back in time! Our top-rated, family-oriented lakeside Wisconsin glamping allows you to time travel through a period-authentic theme without the fuss of actually building a time machine. And, do it while enjoying nature and without having to pack all of your stuff.
SPACE DESCRIPTION: This camper is outfitted with one camper full-sized futon bed and also has a food prep area (no appliances/water). For bathroom needs guests use the bathhouse. While it is snug on the inside, we feel its authentic character of the early American camping era more than outweighs the smaller interior. Outdoors is home to a charcoal grill, Edison lights, a picnic table, and a firepit. There is also a common gas grill station for guests' use (located between campsites 8 and 9). POV has wood swings and hammocks throughout the resort as well. This camper also provides basic electricity for charging wall lights, phones, laptops, fans, COPD machines, and other low-powered appliances, etc. A space heater is also provided (heaters provided in units – bring your own 1 lb propane canisters or buy them in our store – 1 canister should get you through overnight). There is parking for one vehicle with overflow parking available at the bathhouse.
PETS: No pets allowed.

Glamping in beautiful northwoods
It was our first stay at POV resort and we absolutely loved it! Owners and employees of the resort were very friendly, helpful and responsive to our requests. We stayed in camper built in 1947 and it was very unique experience. Every glampsite in this resort is different and unique and located in the wooded area. Resort has variety of water toys included with your stay and nice sand bottom beach. I would say this place is great for any occasion, like romantic weekend or family reunion. They also have two short trails on site, and I especially loved POV trail which ends with great view, picnic table and two hammocks. We would definitely spread a word among our friends and family.
