+description: "A North Twin Lake resort in Wisconsin's Northwoods turned into a museum of American camping — one unit per decade, and guests sleep in the exhibits."
+---
+
+The collection runs a century at one unit per decade, and you book a night in whichever decade you want. The oldest surviving Jim Dandy camper — hand-built by a couple on a Model T chassis — still has their itemized build receipt hanging inside it. There is also a 1952 Lighthouse Double Decker, one of eight left anywhere, with its patented central staircase. The exhibit hall is free to walk on weekends.
