Welcome to day 4 of Wandawega Week!
Today’s post features another area of Camp Wandawega– Tent Hill.
This area of David and Tereasa’s rustic resort is home to a collection of vintage, perfectly weathered, Boy Scout tents.
These aren’t just regular ol’ tents. They’re more like canvas cabins…
After a 5 year search, David and Tereasa found a source for the vintage tents and the wood platforms they originally sat on…
They also picked up the original, vintage metal bed frames, mattresses, and tent poles that went with them…
Here’s how Tereasa describes her tent budget breakdown:
3 tents: $20 each
9 platforms: $5 each
6 vintage Boy Scout beds: $5 each
Creating your very own Boy Scout tent village: Priceless.
And speaking of Tereasa’s love affair with vintage collections- if you’d like to throw your name in the (virtual) hat for a chance to win a signed copy of Tereasa’s newly-released book, “Found, Free & Flea“, just leave us a comment on this post between now and tomorrow (Friday, August 12, 2011) at noon (Central Time)!
And don’t forget to swing by tomorrow for the final Wandawega Week post…you’re not gonna “wannamissit”!
PS- If you missed any of this week’s Wandawega posts- you can find them here: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3!
Without a doubt, the most fascinating story/pictures I’ve seen in a long time. Hats off to those that cherish flea market finds!

Would love a copy of her book! Thanks for the chance.
Loving all this vintage stuff and the budgets that go with them!!
Would so love this
I totally want to visit their camp!!
I would love this book and I’ve really enjoyed this series. Woke up this morning excited to see what you had in store for us today! We too purchased a run-down lake home that came with an assortment of “found” objects…unfortunately, they were more late 70’s era junk instead of vintage collectables. A book like this just might help me see the value in this disco-era memorabilia!
What a great place to learn how to be a kid again.
I’d love her book – she’s inspired me to look at re-use in a whole new light.
What a great inspiration – love the old tents and the kind of vacation they represent.
And I would LOVE that book 🙂
Loved this series of posts…would love that book too!
those tents are just like the ones I used to spend my summers in! love it! am always looking for ways to turn found items into my own little treasures, would love the book:)
I wanna go visit!

Have thoroughly enjoyed this series of posts!! Would love a copy of Tereasa’s book too!
Her ideas are so cute! I love everything I’ve seen so far!
Hey, I slept in tents and cots just like those, at Boy Scout camp last summer! Shared a tent with my youngest son and several mice and lots of grandaddy-long-legs.
Would love to see all this in person someday!! AMAZING!!!!
I absolutly adore the simplicity and the creativity! So many people think a vacation/weekend get away has to be this extravagant shindig. In these times it is refreshing to see the contrary. This would be the ideal weekend getaway in my world! Lucky people!
Wow every day I have just been amazed! What a talented lady! Sign me up! I would love to get her book!
Love the title. Kind of my life philosophy!
I’m already planning a vist to the lovely camp. My in-laws live a few towns away so now i only need some vacation days and a few plane tickets. Would love the book too!
These tents are awesome! And I want this book. Loving everything Camp Wandawega!
That would be the best to sleep in, I think. I really prefer a cot than an air mattress!
Loving these posts so much!
This is the coolest thing ever! I would love to stay there!!
I “wanna”it!!!!!!!!!!
I am absolutely loving this series and want to go live there. Pronto.
That would be my kind of vacation!! Those tents looks so inviting. I would LOVE a copy of that book.
Reminds me of girl scout camp! Too cool!
This book looks awesome…. would make a PERFECT christmas gift for a friend of mine!!
I am so impressed! Is there anything this couple can’t do?
