Glamping in California: Camp in Modern Airstream Trailers & Luxury Tents

What is glamping, anyway?

Glamping is the ultimate mash-up of outdoor adventure and upscale hospitality. Imagine experiencing the outdoors without having to set up a tent or go without the creature comforts of home. You can think of it as upgraded recreation, focused on the comforts travelers expect in a hotel.

Glampers sleep in beautiful locations – just not in ordinary hotel rooms.  At glamping resorts, guests can experience luxury glamping tents, yurts, teepees, travel trailers, cabins, treehouses and fully appointed Airstream trailers.

Glamping IS:

  • Enjoying your favorite activities all day
  • Sleeping in luxury and comfort at night
  • Having the hard work handled for you
  • Bathing in a spa-like shower
  • Sharing your trip photos on Instagram with free Wi-Fi in your private suite

Glamping IS NOT:

  • Lugging around tons of camping gear
  • Setting up camp in the dark
  • Trying to start a campfire in the rain

Glamping destinations around the world offer high-end experiences focused on adventure, nature, history, and more. Just because you want to sleep under the stars or enjoy the beach doesn’t mean you have to give up luxury bedding and spa-like bath amenities.

Escape and relax in luxury Airstream Glamping Experiences at AutoCamp

The iconic “silver bullet” Airstream trailer might be the ultimate luxurious glamping suite of them all. AutoCamp places these gems in stunning locations and lets glampers enjoy the world around them without a care. Let an AutoCamp model Airstream “glamping” trailer be your home away from home while you experience starry nights, gourmet food and drink, and incredible nightlife throughout California.

Glamping at Russian River

The AutoCamp location near the Russian River, 90 miles north of San Francisco, is set among towering redwoods near Guerneville. For glamping, it doesn’t get much better than this. Twenty-four custom-made new Airstream trailers with high-end designer interiors, plus 10 fully equipped luxury glamping tents and a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired clubhouse designed by Anacapa Architecture make for an environment that will take your breath away.

Interior designer Lauren Geremia designed the Airstream interiors, with amenities including:

  • Queen-sized luxury Casper bed
  • Hotel-class, top-shelf linens
  • Flat screen TV and audio sound system
  • Fully equipped kitchens
  • Walk-in showers
  • Sofa bed
  • Decks and fire pits

Every unit has Bluetooth audio, so guests can enjoy music in their Airstream while they are cooking dinner or enjoying a spa-inspired shower. The spa-like bathrooms feature toiletries by Ursa Major. Even the throw blankets are designer-label, made with sustainable practices by Coyuchi. Wi-Fi and gourmet coffee are always free.

You’ll also find lawn games on the property, and bikes for complimentary loan, as well as exquisite artisanal food and drinks. Just down the road are bistros, art galleries, and wine tasting rooms galore. Guests can take a private limousine tour for local wineries, with the chauffeur stopping at a local deli to help them select the perfect lunch. Glamping at Russian River is far from roughing it.

So we’re glamping at AutoCamp. What is there to do nearby?

Everything from the upscale to down-home is at your doorstep when you step out of your luxe Airstream suite at one of the two AutoCamp glamping resorts. The biggest decision you have to make all day is which adventure to choose!

Near Guerneville & Russian River, California

AutoCamp Russian River is only 30 minutes from the Pacific Ocean coastline of the Sonoma Coast. Seventeen miles of beaches separated by rocky outcrops and bluffs provide opportunities for shell hunting, whale-watching, sunbathing, and picnicking. Goat Rock Beach is also home to a colony of harbor seals, and the Sonoma Coast State Beach has many natural stone arches and secluded coves perfect for seaside activities. Bring a blanket and watch the sun set across the Pacific.

Our Russian River Airstream resort is close to the stunning Armstrong Redwood State Park. Take a leisurely float along the lazy Russian River and watch the wildlife or take a photo safari along the miles of nature trails. Visit the nearby town of Guerneville, with its rustic, renovated, and retro store fronts for some eclectic shopping. The slow, easy pace of life here makes it easy to get lost in relaxation.

No glamping trip to AutoCamp Russian River would be complete without a wine tasting tour in your private limo. The Wine Road through Northern Sonoma County takes you through sensational rolling hills and offers exquisite tasting experiences. Meet some of California’s best winemakers along this road of discovery. The “wine road” is a quest for treasures hidden in the hills and valleys. We suggest taking a jaunt down Westside road as it winds through scenery reminiscent of Tuscany.
