Inside Scoop

The bikes provided allow you to access all of the parts of Santa Barbara you know and love, but be sure to check out the local hotspots within walking distance of the Camp. Los Agaves offers the best Mexican food in town and is only a block up the street, the Uptown lounge offers a free limo ride home and Edamasa Sushi Bar, located right across the street, is open until 2AM if you need a late night snack.

Venue Features
The scene:
Our location is smack down in the middle of town. It is a unique property that allows you to camp in the center of the city. The site has been used as an "Auto Camp" since 1922, when people would pass through town and tie up their horse and buggy to stay the night. Since then, it has been transformed to include a little more luxury to provide guests with a comfortable, yet nostalgic stay.
Design:
Each Suite boasts its own colorful personality. For those who prefer a more vintage experience, we offer a Suite that is most reminiscent of a 1950's travel trailer, but for those who want the luxuries of a hotel room in a new, shiny package, we have mid-century modern suite that will be sure to blow your mind.
Standout venue features:
All Suites come with two complimentary beach cruisers to explore the town.

15 Airstreams for Open Road Glamping
In 1931, Airstream began with Wally Byam’s dream: “to build a travel trailer that would move like a stream of air, be light enough to be towed by a car and create first-class accommodations anywhere.” These days, airplanes ferry us to the furthest reaches of the globe in mere hours while our social media technology allows us to travel from the comfort of our own homes. Why carry your home behind you when our lives are tucked so neatly into our phones, tablets and carry-ons? We're told to travel lighter, with less and love it. And we do.  In spite of it all, there is something so consummately classic and innately inspiring about these Airstreams.  A relic of a past on the open road, where adventure was packing up your pals with all the comforts of home trailing (literally) right behind you. Yelp reviews, status updates & Smartphones were word-of-mouth, hand-written letters and film cameras.  A full tank of gas meant moving forward with purpose towards a place you had never even seen in pictures. With great innovation comes complication and sometimes, stripping down the intricate vestiges of life is what real luxury is all about.  So get out, gather and "glamp" as you opt for the open road in one or more of these 14 Airstreams hotels

Weekends are for adventure. Where will your next one be? We have some thoughts. Let's face it lovelies, "roughing it" just isn't for everyone.

Is that too much to ask? With the amount of hours most of us put in during a regular work week, getting out and gathering with our fave guys and gals in the Great Outdoors, beckons to us beautifully.
