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!
I would love to have a copy of her book. We’re currently in the middle of our cabin redo and would love some ideas!
These posts have been so fun. It’s just like going back through time and enjoying the feel of “camp” all over again. Thank you so much for delivering once again. Also, please enter me in the book giveaway. thanks.
I love this story and would love that book. If I don’t win it, I am going to buy it anyhow.

I’ve been loving these posts — can’t get over how cute this place is!
What inspiring and awesome ideas!! Would love to win this book!!
An upgrade from the beloved tree house I grew up playing in on hot summer days in Georgia. Out in the country where kids stayed outside until the fireflies lit the beautiful star filled skies. Love your decorating ideas 🙂
I love this place! It reminds me of a camp in Maine we used to visit as a family when I was growing up. Do they rent out? WI is much closer to where I live now! 🙂
Talking to self….
“I wanna be a creative person! I do! I do! I do!”
Everything is just so darn cool!
Loving this series. My husband and I want to build something in our backyard that our kids would enjoy for years to come and we have been so inspired. Would love a copy of her book.
This series of posts is amazing! I am so inspired!
I am loving this series and would LOVE the book! Boy scout bed for only $5.00. Seriously!
Oh this is just too cute! So reminiscent of camp in the 70’s.
Me, please!
I want a copy!! 🙂
I love her ideas! I want to go stay there…Her book looks great too.
Gosh, this place is just what the doctor ordered!
I am loooovvvving these posts, Layla! Tereasa’s vision is just amazing. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Loving all of these posts! It reminds me of the North Woods of Minnesota where my family has a place. Loving the tents! And more importantly what a fabulous thrify shopper Tereasa is!
Love it!
You guys are great! Love the idea of a vintage boyscout camp. I love vintage too….and would love a copy of this book. Thanks and keep up the great work! Karen
What a lovely place! Sign me up for the book drawing please.
I can’t believe the prices for the vintage camp! I would’ve thought she spent a small fortune finding ones that were usable and good condition; that’s fantastic!
I would love a chance to win the book. It sounds like just my style.
I’m so loving these posts! They are encouraging to what I want to do one day myself.
Missed the first book giveaway this week but I’m glad to get in on this one!! This week might go down as my favorite week of posts on The Lettered Cottage yet! I bought a cottage (?) down the street from the lake a couple of years ago. We are still in progress in making it the cute place I know it can be but this week of posts has provided so much inspiration!
Loving this week of posts!! Cool cover…
My family only lives an hour from here and I’ve been scheming the past few days on how to take a mini-vacation with my husband here now! Plus, I want one of those “treehouses” in a future yard now. Thanks for sharing!
I’d love to have that book! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
My kids think they need to have a tree house like the one featured yesterday, they are already starting to plan it and figure out which tree we can do without. The camp looks incredibly fun!
Would love to win your book…since all your ideas have been so great.
PICK ME!
What great deals on the vintage boy scout tent stuff. A great look too. Thanks for the chance to win the book.

I am so inspired by all of these stories that I cannot phrase how they touch me.
I Love this!! and that book looks fantastic.

Love this series and would love that book!
Please sign me up for a chance to win the book! Also, is Wandawega a place where regular people can actually go, or is it more of a family camp? Just wondering. It looks like the kind of place I’d want to go on vacation. 🙂
