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 have so enjoyed your posts and can’t decide whether I would want to stay in one of the cabins or the tents. But first, I would have to talk my husband into taking the trip up there!!
Super cute! Makes me want to camp!!! and I’m all about the rope swing!!!!
SO inspiring–especially the great deals she got!
I really like the look of these vintage canvas cabins! Put my name in the hat and thanks.
I’m in for a chance at a fun book.
Wow! What a cool book. I would love to win it!
These tents are amazing. Love the place.
Loved todays post! I recognized the tents right away from the years I spent living in one during the month of June. I was a boy scout “assistant horse wrangler” at CLP in Wyoming for 5 years. Oh the memories….
Yes, please! These photos are pure inspiration.
Put my name in the hat! I wanna be a boy scout for a day!
These are just incredible!
What a great book! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh my word – can it get any better?! This has been a fantastic series!

I love the vintage camp site. How adorable. It reminds me a lot of our families camping trips as a child. I would love for my name to get thrown into the mix for a chance at her book. Thank you.
I would love to win this very wonderful book!
Another amazing book!
That book looks great.
My husband and I are about to move out of big city L.A. into the valley of Salt Lake City, where we hopefully are able to use our favorite “found, free or flea” philosophy to make our new house a home! We’d love to see what Tereasa does with the same philosophy.
I have throughly been enjoying Camp Wandawega Week – this book looks great!

Another great post. I would LOVE to win this book. FOUND, FREE & FLEA is the only way I know how to decorate!
Love this post. We had one of those old tents when I was a kid and looking at these pictures brings back a lot of memories. I can still smell the ‘inside the hot tent’ smell!
Sign me up for the book! It sounds fantastic!
I wanna win a book! And I think I would like tent camping if thats what my digs looked like
That book looks wonderful! I’ve really enjoyed Wandawega week!
I bought Teresa’s book when it first came out—now I wanna win this one. What I really want is one of those tent set-ups, complete with flannel lined sleeping bags that (hopefully) don’t smell like mildew like my girl scout sleeping bag did. Thanks, Layla!
