Accommodation Description

· Kid-friendly · Pets allowed

This retro campervan is based in Calgary, Alberta, and can be towed away to (or, for an extra fee, dropped off and/or picked up at) a location of the guests' choosing, such as one of the many campsites in nearby Banff National Park. The interior features a fold-out couch and fold-down table, both of which convert into beds. It also features a sink, a counter, and cabinets for food preparation and storage. The bathroom contains a pump toilet, serviced by a water tank for non-potable water.

Although the camper dates back to 1976, the interior was recently refurbished. With its updated but still retro and rustic vibe, and the choose-your-own-adventure possibilities that come with its portability, this camper represents a unique glamping opportunity for guests wanting to escape into nature.

Accommodation Features

  • Toilet
  • Sink
  • Dining table

The facilities will depend on the site to which guests bring the camper. In choosing a site, they should keep in mind that although the camper has a bathroom, with a water tank for non-potable water, it does not have a shower. Guests should also keep in mind that the heater and refrigerator they see in the pictures do not work, so they should dress and pack food accordingly—all part of the adventure of glamping in this authentically retro camper!

Guest Services

Guests are welcome to tow the camper themselves, but for an extra fee, it can be dropped off and picked up for them at a site of their choosing. For both pick-up and drop-off service to a site 30 minutes away from the camper's base location, the fee would be $40 (or just $20 for one service without the other).

At the end of their trip, guests will need to dump their waste if they use the toilet. They can do this themselves for $7.50 at the Flying V gas station, which is about 10 minutes from the base location. Alternatively, the owners can dump the waste for them for a $30 fee. Read More
