Vintage Campsite Brochures
Vintage Campsite Brochures
I was fortunate enough to be sent a collection of vintage American and Canadian campsite brochures from the 60s and 70s.
The collection was sent to me by Justin V. Clark who came across them while archiving the papers of Grady Clay. Clay, now in his 90s, is a veteran American landscape, architecture and urban planning journalist, he has led an extremely illustrious life. He is the author of many books, was a long-time editor of Landscape Architecture magazine and also the former Urban Affairs Editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. Clark believes these brochures are from the many cross country trips which Grady took during his research. You can find out more about Clay here most of his books are still available from Amazon.
You can view large versions of the entire collection here.

Wow, these are great.
One question though – why has the Hiawatha Trailer Resort one got a picture of Tharg on it?

These are awesome. I love the 60s and 70s design style. These are reminiscent of the contemporaneous National Park Brochures (http://forestglenroad.org/national-park-brochures/) Great post!
