Glamping in an Amenity-Filled Airstream

Taking on the great outdoors is not for the faint of heart, unless you have the convenience of modern amenities (think chilled cocktails and mood lighting) at your fingertips. One of the newest trailers from the experts of luxury travel at Airstream offer just that, and then some. Robb Report was the first to camp out at the Rancho Oso campground with the ultra-trendy camper designed in collaboration with the island-inspired lifestyle brand, Tommy Bahama—known for their bold beach fashion and home décor.

Partnership between the two classic American brands— both rooted in adventure—originally began with the release of a 28-foot travel trailer and touring coach that debuted last year. The smaller 19-foot version is the second installation, and the trailer’s compact size make it the perfect choice for an idyllic solo trip.

My destination was a sprawling ranch on over 300 acres of land nestled into a lush valley on the edge of the Los Padres National Forest (just east of Santa Barbara). I found myself tucked away on the expansive campground, stationed against a bucolic backdrop, and quickly realized the unique comforts this camping venture would entail. The moment I stepped inside the trailer, I was greeted with woven cushioned flooring designed for durability, high ceilings with integrated lighting and dimmer settings, plantation wood shutters, hand-crafted laminated cabinetry, and a back-lit bar cabinet that held custom Tommy Bahama whiskey glasses and elegant stemware. Also on hand was a Tommy Bahama cooler, lawn chairs with cushioned headrests, and plush towels.
