40. Camp-Let: The Tiny Trailer That Could Launch a Big Hospitality Business


Listen Later

What if starting an outdoor hospitality business didn't require land, cabins, permits, or a six-figure investment? In this episode, Sarah Riley speaks with Adam Odgaard from Isabella Camping about the Camp-Let tent trailer… a clever Danish invention that has been popular across Europe for decades but is only now arriving in the United States.

We explore how this lightweight trailer (just 595 lbs) unfolds into a surprisingly spacious camping setup with sleeping cabins and living space, and why it's attracting attention as a new business opportunity in the outdoor hospitality industry. They discuss:

  • The fascinating 70-year history of Isabella, a family business founded in Denmark

  • How the Camp-Let trailer bridges the gap between camping and glamping

  • Why its lightweight design works perfectly with electric vehicles

  • The growing opportunity for mobile outdoor hospitality businesses

  • How some operators in Europe already use these trailers as rental units on campsites

  • A potential low-cost entry point into the outdoor hospitality industry

Adam also shares example numbers showing how a Camp-Let setup could potentially reach break-even in around a year, opening up new possibilities for entrepreneurs who want to help people experience nature without needing to own land.

If you're interested in glamping trends, innovative outdoor accommodation models, or creative ways to start a hospitality business, this episode will definitely get you thinking… and may even change the way you think about going camping.
