German hotelier Michael Schlösser has launched the appealingly eccentric BaseCamp Bonn, an ‘indoor campground hostel’ in a former storage facility in Bonn, Germany.

The indoor campsite features 15 vintage caravans, two railway sleeper coaches and four US airstream trailers, as well as a former GDR train and several VW camper vans, providing a total of 120 beds.

The caravans were designed by German tv and film set designer Marion Seul, with each featuring a different theme including furnished faux front lawns.

Other features include deck chairs, rugs on the floor of the warehouse and a backdrop of a tropical beach.

Prices range from €22 ($30, £18) to €74 ($100, £61) per night.
