What a cool experience! If you’re thinking about booking Motel Camper…trust me: stop reading these reviews and just do it!!
I was looking for a cozy and unique staycation in Austin… I had heard about Austin Glamping so was excited to see one of Chris’s Campers were free… even having heard about AG’s great reputation I can say my expectations were blown out of the water.
Chris has transformed a super cool, vintage Shasta Camper into a cozy, warm, efficient, and beautiful home with every detail you can imagine addressed with craftsmanship. Housed in the corner of a large backyard in South/Central Austin, outfitted with a fire pit, twinkle lights, outdoor theater, and gorgeous outdoor shower - you really feel you’ve got your own corner of the world for the evening.
If you’re looking to ensure the basics are covered, they are. Warm? (Check: Dyson heater + electric fireplace). Comfy? (Check: tempurpedic mattress). Bathroom? (Check: clean outhouse + outdoor shower I’d probably opt for over my own). Stocked kitchen? (Check). iPhone charger? (Check.) Location? Perfect. It’s all there and honestly I found it easy to forget I was staying in a Camper.
But more importantly, DETAILS… that’s what made my stay and experience so incredible, and why I’m taking the time to write this detailed review in return. Alexa greeting me by name on arrival, smart controlled lights, perfectly planned storage compartments for my luggage, generously stocked “oops I forgot” supplies, and of course, Chris’s friendly and communicative approach to hosting.
I’d happily stay in #MotelCamper again and would recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic but finely tuned “Austin glamping” experience. Can’t wait to be back.
