You love the outdoors, but you don’t necessarily want your wedding guests to rough it. You want the nostalgia of a campfire and the quiet of the outdoors, but with the high-end amenities of a boutique hotel. When it comes to iconic outdoor celebrations, AutoCamp weddings set the standard.

With locations across the United States, AutoCamp has perfected the art of the outdoor wedding. Think mid-century modern design, luxury Airstreams as your hotel room, and curated communal spaces that feel more like a design-forward resort than a campground.

As a photographer who has traveled to and captured events at nearly every location, I’ve seen firsthand how these spaces transform your experience. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a multi-day wedding weekend, there is a specific property that will fit your vision.

AutoCamp as your Wedding Venue

AutoCamp isn’t a one-size-fits-all venue. Its versatility is its greatest strength, offering a basecamp in the outdoors for every celebration from a private exchange of vows to a full-scale property buyout.

Eloping at AutoCamp

For couples seeking a curated getaway in the wild, AutoCamp offers the perfect intersection of rugged adventure and mid-century modern luxury. Located in some of the most iconic landscapes in the U.S.—from the serene shores of Cape Cod to the towering Redwoods of California—it allows you to spend your morning hiking a National Park trail and your evening sharing a bottle of wine by the fire.

Why AutoCamp works for Elopements

• Built-in Aesthetic: You don’t need a massive decor budget. The silver Airstreams, modern clubhouses, and curated fire pits provide a stunning, “ready-to-shoot” backdrop for photography.
• The “Together but Separate” Vibe: Ideal if you want to invite a few guests. AutoCamp allows guests to retreat to their own private suites (Airstreams or luxury tents) while still being able to gather at the communal Clubhouse or around the fire for celebrations.
• Location, Location, Location: They are strategically placed near iconic landscapes—Yosemite, Zion, Joshua Tree, and the Russian River—making it effortless to elope in the Great Outdoors and return to a plush, designer suite.

Hosting your Micro Wedding at AutoCamp

Invite your closest circle for a laid-back weekend getaway that feels more like a retreat than a formal event. AutoCamp is designed for connection; each location features a variety of flexible gathering spaces available for reservation. Whether you’re envisioning an intimate ceremony on property or a long-table dinner catered by a local chef, these spaces provide a modern, communal heart for your celebration. It’s the perfect way to give your family an outdoor experience without asking them to rough it.

AutoCamp Full Property Buyout for your Wedding Weekend

Planning something larger than a micro-wedding? For couples who want to turn the entire camp into their personal village, a property buyout is the ultimate move. This allows your entire guest list to stay on-site, creating a seamless, “summer camp for adults” atmosphere.

• Capacity: While properties vary, a buyout can typically host between 60 to 140 guests depending on the location.
• The Experience: Your Guests stay in their own private Airstreams or luxury suites, while you have exclusive access to the Clubhouse, pool areas, and communal fire pits for a fully immersive weekend.

For your Wedding in the Outdoors, Discover each of the AutoCamp Locations

Spanning from the West Coast to the East Coast, AutoCamp currently features nine iconic locations. Each property offers a distinct landscape and effortless access to the crown jewels of the U.S. National Park system and the great outdoors.

AutoCamp Sonoma – Russian River

Wine Country meets the redwoods in Northern California for a grounded, “best of both worlds” vibe. You’re tucked into a quiet grove of redwoods but only 15 minutes from the coast of Northern California at AutoCamp Sonoma. With a mid-century Clubhouse the indoor-outdoor concept and open to the forest, It’s the perfect spot for a quiet ceremony in the redwoods, an adventure on the coast and an evening campfire back at camp.

AutoCamp Yosemite

Experience the serenity of the Sierras at AutoCamp Yosemite, just 40 minutes from Yosemite National Park’s western entrance. You can spend your day hiking under towering granite peaks and return to a modern Clubhouse with a rooftop deck for a candle lit dinner. Whether you’re hosting a dinner on the Big Oak Lawn or a sunset toast overlooking the property, it’s the ultimate basecamp for your mountain wedding.

AutoCamp Joshua Tree

High-desert minimalism meets incredible stargazing. Just 10 minutes from the gates of Joshua Tree National Park, AutoCamp Joshua Tree is all about those iconic desert sunrises in the Mojave and golden hour glows that make for an effortless, high-design backdrop. It’s the ideal spot for a Spring or Fall wedding when the desert weather hits that sweet spot of warm, sun-drenched days and perfectly cool evenings.

AutoCamp Sequoia

Riverfront luxury meets the world’s largest trees for a location that feels truly monumental. You can spend your morning hiking through the giant groves of Sequoia National Park and your evening hosting a long-table dinner right on the banks of the Kaweah River at AutoCamp Sequoia. 

AutoCamp Zion

With 360-degree views of Southern Utah’s iconic red rocks, this property feels like a private desert retreat. You can host an intimate dinner right along the Virgin River or gather on the Clubhouse deck to watch the sunset paint the cliffs. AutoCamp Zion is a basecamp that makes the desert’s wild beauty feel completely luxurious for a sunset celebration.

AutoCamp Cape Cod

Biking along the Shining Sea Bikeway and exploring the Atlantic shoreline is right outside your Airstream door. AutoCamp Cape Cod blends authentic coastal charm with modern design, offering a quiet retreat vibe with stunning views of the ocean. It’s a refined yet laid-back spot for an East Coast wedding that trades traditional venues for coastal cuisine, and laid back vibes.

AutoCamp Catskills

Tucked away in the Hudson Valley, AutoCamp Catskills is a forest escape perfect for hikers and couples who live for those vibrant fall colors. It offers a moody, wooded backdrop for a secluded ceremony that feels worlds away from the city. Spend your day on the trails and your evening tucked into the trees for a cozy celebration under the stars.

New AutoCamp Locations: Asheville & Hill Country

The AutoCamp map is growing with two incredible new landscapes! AutoCamp Asheville is now open as of 2026, offering riverfront luxury in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, while AutoCamp Hill Country is coming soon to bring modern Airstream stays and adventure to the rolling hills of Texas.

Curating the Experience

Activities for your AutoCamp Wedding

• Sunrise Yoga – Start your wedding day with a deep breath and a wellness session on the Clubhouse deck. It’s the best way to ground yourself and soak in the surroundings before the festivities begin.
  
• Local Hikes – Take advantage of the bucket-list trails right outside your door at AutoCamp. Whether it’s an quiet trek for just the two of you or a group hike with your whole crew, there’s a trail for every energy level nearby.
  
• Iconic Portraits – Schedule an off-property adventure to capture your portraits in the wild. Think Yosemite’s granite peaks, Zion’s red rocks, or a Joshua Tree sunrise—these are the shots that turn your wedding gallery into art.
  
• Welcome Dinner in Town –  Most properties sit just outside charming small towns. Head local for your welcome dinner to support the community and give your guests a true taste of the area.
  
• Pizza Night at Camp – For a laid-back welcome, host a casual pizza night right in camp. AutoCamp’s partnership with Gozney means you can sling fresh, artisanal pies while keeping the vibe relaxed and social with your friends and family.
  
• Al Fresco Family Dinner – On the night of your wedding, I highly recommend a family-style dinner in the outdoors. Watching the sunset while sharing a meal in these landscapes is an experience your guests will never forget.
  
• Late-Night Campfire – End every evening the way it was intended—gathered around the fire. There’s nothing like sharing stories and s’mores with your favorite people under a canopy of stars.

Planning Your AutoCamp Wedding

AutoCamp properties were built for this. From their dedicated event teams to the intentional layout of the indoor and outdoor spaces, they’ve made it seamless to host a gathering in the wild. If you’re ready to start planning, here is your roadmap:

• Step 1: Choose Your Landscape & Guest Count Start by deciding which vibe fits your story and how many people you want to share it with. Your guest count is key here, as it will help you decide between an intimate micro-wedding or a full property buyout.
• Step 2: Decide on Your Duration Are you thinking of a quick overnight celebration or a full 3-day retreat? Most couples find that a multi-day stay allows for a much more relaxed experience, giving everyone time to actually enjoy the scenery, after a bit of travel.
• Step 3: Lock in Your Date Once you’ve picked your location and guest count, it’s time to reach out to the AutoCamp team to secure your dates. They are incredibly helpful with walking you through the specific site fees and lodging blocks.
• Step 4: Build Your Dream Team With your date locked in, you can start bringing on your dream vendors. From photographers who know the area (hi! shameless plug, I’d love to chat!) to local chefs who specialize in open-fire cooking, this is where the specific details of your day really come to life.

Meet Your AutoCamp Wedding Photographer

I believe your wedding should feel like your dream day, not a production. My approach is all about documenting the real moments of your weekend—from the quiet coffee in your Airstream to the epic “just-married” portraits in the great outdoors.

Because I’ve spent time in these landscapes, I’m here to be more than just the person behind the camera. I’m your guide to the best lighting, finding your dream vendors in the area, your scout for the most secluded portrait spots, and your advocate for a wedding day that actually feels like you.

I know how to balance the high-design aesthetic of an AutoCamp clubhouse with the raw, rugged beauty of the wilderness. My goal is to make sure you walk away with a gallery that doesn’t just show what your wedding looked like, but exactly how it felt to be there.

If you’re looking for a wedding that feels like an adventure, AutoCamp is the place to do it. You don’t have to choose between a wild landscape and a luxury experience, you can have both.
