About our Caravans

The Uk’s original Airstream Holidays

On the field

We are proud to have been among the very first businesses offering Glamping holidays in the UK and the original Glamping holiday business on the Isle of Wight. We now have 16 years experience of vintage Airstream holidays.

Vintage Vacations were the first to offer American Airstream glamping holidays in the UK and then first glamping business on the Isle of Wight, 2020 will be our seventeen season.

The vans themselves are carefully restored to original condition and still have many original fixtures and fittings as well as quirky vintage accessories and decorations – we prefer to restore rather than refurbish – call us old romantics but we feel that this keeps the ‘soul’ of the caravan and continues the tradition of many happy holidays past. What this means is that if the original Formica and door handles (for example) are a bit worn but still working perfectly well we will leave them intact …. but things like cookers, soft furnishings, beds etc are replaced with sympathetic alternatives. Vintage fabrics and accessories used where we are able.

Vintage Vacations has won ‘best place to go glamping’ several times in the My Isle of Wight awards.

It is possible to hire the whole site for your special celebration.

All vans are all properly vintage – nothing ‘retro’ here!
