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.

Twelve vintage glamping units, each a curated exhibit for one decade, running from a 1930s luxury tent to a 1972 Holiday Rambler — and you book a night in whichever decade you want. The 1952 Lighthouse is one of eight known to survive anywhere; there is a 1949 Jim Dandy, a 1961 Wolfe, a bare-aluminium Airstream. The central exhibit hall stays open year-round, and the whole resort is the museum.
