New Luxury Coming to Flying Flags

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

New luxury cottages and custom renovated Airstream travel trailers will be ready for rental by May 1 at Flying Flags RV Resort.

Cottages are all loft units with wrap-around decks. They will be ready, complete with new decks furnishings, by the end of April. Everyone who is on the waiting list will be contacted next week to confirm those reservations.

The six Airstreams will be themed and will feature modern luxuries and vintage appeal. We have hired a design team to completely renovate the vintage 1960s Airstreams in custom styles and themes. The iconic Airstreams, nicknamed “the Silver Bullets,” are the most recognized RV on the road today. Once completed, these Airstreams will offer the most unique camping experience in the market. Availability is expected starting in May.

Meanwhile, pool and splash zones reopen this weekend after getting beautiful new patios and sidewalks. More great things are coming to Flying Flags RV Resort.

 If you enjoyed the Wine & Chili Festival on St. Patrick’s Day at Flying Flags, then you’ll like the 2nd Annual Buellton Brew Fest on May 11, which will feature craft beer from various brewers along with music, food and fun. This inaugural event takes place at the River View Park in Buellton from noon to 4 p.m.

 A sellout in its first year, the Buellton Brew Fest will be even bigger and better this year, with more craft brewers along with a craft soda component for the designated drivers.

 Bring your beach chair and blankets and plan to jam to the sounds of “Burning James and the Funky Flames” while you enjoy a beautiful day at River View Park in Buellton at the Buellton Brew Fest.  And top it off by staying at Flying Flags RV Resort!
