Roamstead

Roamstead was born from a family RV trip across the country. Our founders noticed their glamorous plans often ended in glorified parking lots or dirty campgrounds without amenities or a thought regarding design. Alongside that, it seemed many campgrounds felt unapproachable to those who hadn’t been before. A vision was born to reinvent roughing it in a way that could welcome all adventurers to experience the magic of the great outdoors. Blue skies and Wi-Fi? Breakfast and a pool? This is not your dad’s old-school campground. Unleash your adventurous spirit in the morning and enjoy actual spirit spirits in the afternoon, like cocktails and craft beer by the fire. Nature is thoughtfully designed. So we put thought into every detail too. From the modern lodge to the spa-like bath houses, every element here is intended to enhance your experience and views of the great outdoors.
