We accquired the Scottie camper in 2016 and had an expert in restoration deconstruct it then reconstruct it from the ground up using the same pattern and most of the same interior only modernizing for safety and convenience (who doesn't love a microwave?) It is airtight, won't leak and will serve you well. You will sleep like a baby in "The Beehive." She is 15 feet long and 8 feet tall from the ground and 6.5 feet tall inside.Learn more about this land:Come enjoy our 1967 Scottie renovated vintage camper. Our gorgeous small lake is crystal clear, clean, spring fed brimming with bass, brim, crappie. springs on back side of property. You may fish (catch and release) and keep 1 large fish or several small ones that you intend to cook. (Please bring your own fishing gear and fish cleaning equipment). We provide tabletop charcoal grill. Coal fire creek is on the right side of the dam. Explore and find treasures in nature too! Paint, write, read and just let your soul rest here. Deer and wildlife also abound for possible viewing or photographing (no hunting allowed). No light pollution so enjoy it "when the stars come out."

A host will meet you at the campsite within a 2 hour window and show you how everything works. All propane has been removed from the inside of the camper for safety, it is all electric. Propane powers the automatic grill if you wish to use this instead of wood for fire. Also propane runs the showers. The host that meets you will show you how everything works.
