perspectives interview
From Anacapa Architecture and Geremia Design, AutoCamp
Yosemite features a two-story clubhouse clad with sealed
pine, blackened steel, and board-formed concrete
Yosemite's clubhouse, meant to feel like
a contemporary living room, includes the
AutoCamp brand signature hanging fireplace
This past year, as COVID-19 ravaged the travel industry, AutoCamp
destinations became more coveted than ever as people sought escape and
solitude. Since the first location in Santa Barbara, which has since closed,
AutoCamps have opened in California's Russian River Valley and Yosemite
National Park-both the handiwork of San Francisco studio Geremia Design
and Santa Barbara firm Anacapa Architecture. Next up: Workshop/APDdesigned sites in Cape Cod, Massachusetts (opening this month) and the
Catskills, New York (debuting spring of 2022); as well as outposts in Joshua
Tree, California and Zion National Park in Utah (set to open this fall and
next spring, respectively, both created by HKS Architects and San Franciscobased Narrative Design Studio). They bring the pioneering luxury camping
company's roster to six locations. Further, Miller says the company hopes to
open an additional 25 to 30 properties in the U.S. over the next five years.
Here, the Saatchi & Saatchi alum shares the company's early
beginnings, the emergence of camping as a luxury experience, and how
AutoCamp became a balm for many during these distressing times.
How did your experience with the Loop turn into AutoCamp?
[After the Loop opened], I was at lunch with Neil, and he said, 'I've been
working on [acquiring this campground] for a while. I think this project
is something you're going to love.' I was early in my career at that point
and had nothing to lose. I was enthused about it because it was so unique.
It was so quick to acquire the property in Santa Barbara [it took about six
months] that we didn't have a real operational or marketing plan. It was
right around Christmas 2012 when we brought the Airstreams on and we
were like, 'Wow! We have an Airstream hotel now.' We built a basic website
and had a broken booking platform and all of our phone calls were going to
my cell phone. We listed it on Airbnb as well. It wasn't clearly a [traditional]
