Airstream Ranch

The best view of the Airstream Ranch is from I-4. You can, however, still get to the back side of it by taking I-4 exit 14. Turn south at the exit and drive past the RV dealership. Turn right at the stoplight onto US 92. After approximately a quarter-mile turn right onto Castlewood Road. Keep following the road approximately a half-mile, and Airstream Ranch will be on the left. There is a fence so you will not be able to access the Airstreams, and you will have the traffic from the highway in the background of your pictures, but you will be able to take your time to safely see them.

Now owned by Tampa RV sales and they won't let you back there anymore. But they have added two one-dimensional cows to the mix. To see them you will need to pull over as you near the McIntosh exit.

They will give you a map [at the office], but there is no need to stop at the RV place. Just when you get off highway, continue past RV entrance to stoplight and turn right onto US 92, go 1/4 mile and take a right onto Castlewood Rd. 1/2 mile, ranch is on left.

Airstream Ranch

Super idea for recycling old mobile trailers. Admittedly copied the Cadillac Ranch on Route 66, but in addition the Airstream Ranch is a showcase for a charity (autism). What more! Remember, right next to Bates RV, "Vintage Airstream Village. Five ancient caravans that make you travel in time."

Airstream Ranch

As a driver for a packaging goods vendor, I often drive by the Airstream Ranch. I always find myself looking forward to seeing the site. I'm not sure why, but the Airstream Ranch has some kind of attractiveness to it.

I hope that whatever legal issues this Airstream Ranch has caused have been resolved positively, so that the site can remain.
