Beautifully hand-crafted travel trailers made from wood are true works of art. These wooden travel trailers are gorgeous.
Making your own teardrop travel trailer from wood in the 1930s and 1940s was very popular. But since then, mass production of RVs has become the norm.
But not for these beauties. These wooden travel trailers are all hand-made with love. You can now order one of these for your own artisanal camping adventures!
Check out these beautiful trailers made by Hutte Hut, Big Woody Teardrop Campers, Homegrown Trailers, Casual Turtle Campers, Trekker Trailers, Silver Tears Campers, and Hillcrest Teardrop Campers.
Teardrop Trailer Companies

Big Woody Teardrop Campers
The Big Woody Teardrop Campers are based on the teardrop trailer designs of the 1940s and 1950s. They design them to be lightweight so most cars can pull them without needing a large SUV or pickup truck.
The cabin is designed to sleep two people comfortably. A rear galley is the kitchen area.
As a bonus, Big Woody Teardrop Campers also sells teardrop trailer plans. If you’re handy, you could buy one of their plans and make your own little hand-crafted teardrop trailer.
The Big Woody Ultimate Teardrop Campers are their top-of-the line trailers. They include double sinks in the galley kitchen with a water pump, TV/DVD player, wine rack, side tables with patio lights, and electrical wiring. The closets are lined with aromatic cedar, in case you aren’t getting a woodsy enough aroma when camping in the woods.
The base price for the Big Woody Ultimate Teardrop Camper is $13,789. Several other less expensive trailer options are also available from Big Woody.

The Terrapin trailer made by Casual Turtle Campers is similar in size and style to the small trailers of the 1950s and 1960s. Casual Turtle Campers also makes truck campers and smaller trailers.

Western red cedar wood is used in the exposed exterior of all of their campers. It features a uniform wood grain and texture, a low rate of shrinkage, and superior resistance to decay, moisture, and insects.
All of their wooden travel trailers are handmade and built one at a time. The Terrapin trailer starts at $11,800. The company also makes several versions of truck campers and smaller trailers, all with similar looks to the Terrapin model.
