All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle and nestled in the trees just outside of town, Busafonte and The Trailer welcome you to get lost in nature. On nearly two acres of land, you'll have your own private area to enjoy, including a large fire pit, hammock trees, and perhaps a visit from our neighborhood turkeys and chickens. Regular wildlife visitors to our woodland include moose, black and brown bears, eagles, ravens, and Steller’s jays. Busafonte is a "dry" converted mid-size bus equipped with electricity, a water tank, and a private outhouse. A small, fully equipped kitchen and a separate bedroom with its own woodstove provide the perfect home base for relaxing before and after your big adventures. The Trailer in the Trees is a "90's modern" fifth-wheel camper that includes electricity, water, and an indoor restroom. We’ve provided all the necessities for you, including an equipped kitchen, bathroom essentials, and bedding for the queen bed (bedding for the sofa is also available upon request). The dinette table converts into a short bed—please remember to bring a sleeping bag for this setup! Our property is just a short distance from town, multiple hiking trails, and outdoor outfitters (fishing, kayaking, and sightseeing). We are happy to offer recommendations and answer any questions to help you make the most of your visit.Dry converted school bus with electricity and kitchen/seating area, wood stove, water tank, outhouse/porta-potty, firepit, and small deck and yard area out the back. Perfect for a rest before and after your big adventures! Ideal for solo traveler, close couple, and your animal companion(s).

Amazing Skoolie Stay, amazing hosts

Busafonte

Caryn’s Busafante was an excellent option for us just outside of Seward! Spacious and dry, added bonus of the wood stove for post adventure warm ups, sweet fire pit outside, and Caryn went out of her way to give a ride back in to town upon checkout! Staying in a converted bus was a true AK experience, highly recommend!!!

Busafonte

Busafonte was comfortable and quiet. We liked the old bus vibe! Me, my partner and our two terriers enjoyed visiting. I brought a sleeping pad and that gave us plenty of room when it was time to sleep. We would like to come back when it’s chilly enough to use the stove!

Trailer in the woods

Trailer in the Trees

Staying in the trailer was a fun and unique experience — and excellent value, especially if you plan to cook during your stay. Caryn was a fantastic host: friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!

A Beautiful Night in the Bus

Busafonte

I had a lot of fun and stayed warm and cozy at the Busafonte. It is private and nestled in the woods but only 7 mins from downtown Seward where I had to be for my activities, great location. The bus is stocked with plenty of perfectly sized wood pieces and kindling for the wood stove and has an easy to use foot pump system for using the sink. Caryn came out and greeted me and made sure I had everything for a nice stay, thank you so much for your hospitality! I loved staying here!
