The vibrant world of vintage trailer rallies often conjures up images of gleaming
aluminum campers, retro lawn chairs, and mid-century charm—but one event stands
out for its welcoming spirit and wide appeal: Trailerfest. Hosted in various scenic
locations by the team behind Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine, Trailerfest Rallies
celebrate the golden age of travel while extending a warm invitation to RVers of all eras.
Since 2011, the Vintage Camper Trailers team has been publishing a bi-monthly
magazine dedicated to the vintage trailering hobby and hosting some of the most well-
loved rallies in the country. What started as a passion project has grown into a
nationwide movement that brings together hobbyists, collectors, and families from all
walks of life.
Unlike some vintage events that limit participation to trailers built before a specific year,
Trailerfest embraces inclusivity. Whether you're towing a 1950s Shasta, a 1980s
Airstream, or a modern-day camper with vintage flair, you're welcome to join the fun.
What truly matters at Trailerfest isn’t the age of your rig—it’s the community spirit, love
of the open road, and appreciation for the nostalgic lifestyle.
Participants at Trailerfest enjoy an immersive weekend that blends retro fun with laid-
back hospitality. Attendees often dress in midcentury attire, transforming the
campground into a living postcard from the past. A range of activities—including group
breakfasts, live music, games, crafts, and themed socials—ensure there’s always
something to do. Many Trailerfest events also feature a classic car cruise-in or show,
adding even more shine and style to the weekend.
For camping clubs and travel groups, Trailerfest offers an added bonus: the opportunity
to reserve a block of campsites together. Groups are encouraged to plan in advance so
they can camp side by side, enhancing camaraderie and creating mini-neighborhoods
within the rally. It's a perfect setting for reconnecting with old friends or making new
ones.
At its heart, Trailerfest is more than just a rally—it's a celebration of shared stories,
rolling heritage, and the enduring lifestyle that makes the vintage trailering community
so special. Whether you're an experienced vintage trailer enthusiast or brand new to the
lifestyle, Trailerfest is your invitation to join the fun.
