Every year on August 13th, we celebrate National Vintage Camper Trailers Day—a day dedicated to the people, passion, and community that make this hobby so special.
Vintage camper trailers are more than just beautifully restored works of art on wheels—they’re a ticket to friendships, adventures, and stories that last a lifetime. Whether you’ve been in the hobby for decades or you’ve just found your first project, this is the perfect time to hitch up, head out, and make some memories.
The best way to celebrate? Go camping with friends. Round up your favorite travel companions, join a rally, or plan a weekend getaway with your local vintage trailer group. If you’ve never been to a rally before, you’ll quickly discover why so many people in this community keep coming back—friendly faces, shared meals, open house tours, and plenty of laughter under the stars.
The vintage trailer community is a welcoming mix of seasoned restorers, casual campers, and curious newcomers. We swap tips, tell road stories, and share a deep appreciation for preserving these rolling pieces of history. There’s something magical about walking through a campground lined with polished aluminum, pastel paint jobs, and creative custom builds, knowing each one has its own history and heart.
To stay connected year-round, be sure to check in with the Vintage Camper Trailers website, updated daily with fresh hobby news, rally listings, classifieds, and nearly 15 years of archived articles and features.
