Camping in Neverland

1998 Coleman Pop Up Restoration and Adventures

To live would be an awfully big adventure.”

– PETER PAN

Welcome to Camping in Neverland! This blog is dedicated to all things camping—adventures in nature, tips for getting the most out of your gear, and, of course, the beauty of restoring vintage campers to their former glory. For this first post, I want to share an exciting journey we’re about to take with a very special camper: our 1998 Coleman Pop-Up, affectionately named Neverland.

ENJOYING THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS

Camping allows us to get back in touch with nature and disconnect from reality for a short period of time and reset. We’ll keep you all updated about our camping adventures.

CRAFTING UP A STORM

We are big DIYers and really appreciate the pride in our work we feel once we are done. We will try to catalogue all our steps along the way, and if you have questions, feel free to comment and ask!
