"Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe? Located just a minute's walk from the Russian River amidst the majestic redwoods, AutoCamp, with its custom 31-foot long silver Airstreams, brings back the '50s in luxe style. When the campers take seats around the private fire pits, and the string lights start to twinkle, the camping magic gets real. What's the backstory? The first AutoCamp opened in Santa Barbara in 2013. Russian River followed a few years later and more recently, Yosemite and Cape Cod locations were added to the portfolio. For the Russian River location, the team worked with the San Francisco's Geremia Design to make the airstreams a comfortable, modern experience. The anchor is the clubhouse—a midcentury-inspired building—where guests can check-in, play board games, or chill around the fire pit. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book? You might be in the woods, but the comfort that awaits you in your Airstream matches most luxury hotels. Marble tiles in the bathrooms, Tempur-pedic mattresses, Ursa Major bath products, spa shower, and Schoolhouse Electric light fixtures are just some of the details that put AutoCamp high up on best glamping lists. Also, the private dining area with the fire pit is a significant bonus. Don’t forget to stock up on s’ mores. If you do want a bit more of a camping experience, AutoCamp also offers tents. Don’t worry, they're are luxurious, too. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi? Yes, there is Wi-Fi! It's reasonably good too, considering you're out in the woods. But try not to get too hooked on it. This is a great place to practice some digital detox for a few days. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at? There is no restaurant on-site, but they have a small shop with general items like cheese, crackers, s’ mores kits, chips, and the like. Plus, each Airstream is equipped with serving ware, a private fire pit with grilling grates, and full BBQ equipment. If cooking's not your thing, Guerneville is just a short drive away with plenty of excellent food options. What type of travelers will you find here? San Francisco Millennials have discovered AutoCamp as their destination to they can go off the grid and reconnect with nature. Plaid button-downs, fedora hats, and hiking boots are the unofficial dress code. Whatever you wear, don’t forget to bring layers—evenings can get very cold. Bottom line: Why are we choosing AutoCamp? In the true disconnect to reconnect spirit, come here to unplug from your devices and daily to-dos. Hug a tree, go on a hike, dip your toes into the river and enjoy the deluxe camping magic." - Ana Kamin
