Glamping Americas Podcast

What if starting an outdoor hospitality business didn't require land, cabins, permits, or a six-figure investment? In this episode, Sarah Riley speaks with Adam Odgaard from Isabella Camping about the Camp-Let tent trailer… a clever Danish invention that has been popular across Europe for decades but is only now arriving in the United States.  We explore how this lightweight trailer (just 595 lbs) unfolds into a surprisingly spacious camping setup with sleeping cabins and living space, and why it's attracting attention as a new business opportunity in the outdoor hospitality industry. They discuss:  The fascinating 70-year history of Isabella, a family business founded in Denmark  How the Camp-Let trailer bridges the gap between camping and glamping  Why its lightweight design works perfectly with electric vehicles  The growing opportunity for mobile outdoor hospitality businesses  How some operators in Europe already use these trailers as rental units on campsites  A potential low-cost entry point into the outdoor hospitality industry  Adam also shares example numbers showing how a Camp-Let setup could potentially reach break-even in around a year, opening up new possibilities for entrepreneurs who want to help people experience nature without needing to own land.  If you're interested in glamping trends, innovative outdoor accommodation models, or creative ways to start a hospitality business, this episode will definitely get you thinking… and may even change the way you think about going camping.  ________  Adam Odgaard - Isabella Camping - Camp-Let Trailer  isabellacamping.com   [email protected]  _________   Sarah Riley - Glamping, retreat events, and guest attraction    Glamping Academy & Owners Club https://inspiredcourses.com   Glamping marketing studio https://inspiredcollectiveltd.com/   __________   The Glamping Show Americas, Denver, Colorado https://www.glampingshow.us  [email protected]  Join us at the next show in Colorado!
