Get ready for some urban camping in a stylishly refurbished 1957 El Ray

The state of Washington offers many natural wonders from mountains, beaches, and miles of national forests. Campers and outdoor enthusiasts all over the country dream of visiting the unique geography that can be found in the Pacific Northwest, and who is to blame them? But Washington is also the home of Seattle, a vibrant city that boasts the Space Needle, Experience Music Project, and the famous Pike Place Market. When staying at this 1957 El Ray, you can enjoy the serenity of camping while also experiencing the bustle of the city.
Available to rent through Airbnb, this vintage camper is located in a quiet backyard just minutes from Downtown Seattle. Close to bus stops, restaurants, and night-life you will hardly feel like you are camping at all. The host, Shawn, describes his El Ray, "It's like a fort for grown-ups." So step inside his private backyard and get ready for one amazing Seattle vacation.

The interior of the El Ray is very modern with a lot of neutral colors and sleek surfaces, but we love the bright pops of orange throughout.
The host notes on the listing, "The El Rey is older than my parents and it might be older than your parents, too." However, you would never be able to tell by looking at all the modern amenities.
As you can see, the kitchen features tons of storage and counter space for cooking up delicious meals.
This ultra-plush dinette is perfect for starting your day with a cup of coffee or replying to one more email before disconnecting yourself from work. The table can be lowered to form an additional sleeping area.
Small space calls for versatility in design. Although the El Ray lacks a private bedroom, this large couch pulls out into a full sized bed.
The bathroom is no ordinary RV bathroom. It has been updated with a vessel sink, modern countertops, and wooden shower floors.
