Campin' Under the Stars: Dark Shark and Andromeda at Swarty's Campground

August 16, 2023

Summer 2023 was all about new beginnings—especially with my freshly acquired CampInn 550 teardrop camper. Just a few weeks after towing it home from the factory in Wisconsin (a maiden voyage in itself, filled with open-road excitement), I set out for my second official trip: a solo getaway to Swarty’s Campground, a cozy private spot tucked away in upstate New York. No frills, just peaceful sites and that essential dark-sky access for my astro pursuits.

Campin' Under the Stars: Fresh from the Factory - CampInn 550 Walk-Around

July 25, 2023

What a whirlwind adventure! After years of dreaming about the perfect compact camper for my astrophotography getaways, I finally made the trek to Necedah, Wisconsin—the home of CampInn Trailers—to pick up my custom 550 teardrop. Towing it back to Whitesboro, NY, with my 2023 Tesla Model Y was a smooth 1,000+ mile journey, proving the electric combo is a match made in eco-friendly heaven. The Tesla’s torque handled the hills effortlessly, and regen braking kept things efficient.
