Our Story
The Gumnut Camper name was re-inspired, after being a Geelong camper trailer brand over a decade ago. We found the heritage name a perfect fit for our new teardrop and pod camper design, Establishing in 2020.
Passionate about camping, we found the teardrop camper design perfectly suited for exploring the diverse campsites Victoria had to offer. Transitioning from a tent, we wanted to maintain the simplicity of the true camping lifestyle, reviving the romantic essence of the classic teardrop camper. With a deep appreciation for Australia and the great outdoors, this style of camper felt so ideal.
Keeping it simple! The concept speaks for its self. An insulated sleeping cabin, generous kitchen prep area, stretch out some shade and your done, ready to sit back and relax.
Idea to reality
After numerous drawings and early morning eureka moments we were ready to build. Being a fully Australian made camper, we had the ability to tweak design elements ensuring the Gumnut Camper was fit for purpose and blending functionality with style. We love camping as much as the next Aussie, so practicality was important. Our Melbourne based factory offers quality and durability while still giving a boutique experience to our beloved Teardrop & Pod campers.
Ideal for spontaneous weekend getaways and off-grid camping adventures out bush, the Gumnut teardrop camper is lightweight keeping smaller vehicles in mind and offers easy towing and maneuvering.
Setting up a comfortable campsite takes minutes, with modern awnings and clever rear tailgate kitchen. The spacious and comfortable cabin is the perfect place to chill out with security and privacy.
Dreaming big
Our dream has expanded, introducing new Gumnut models to the original concept, taking on feedback from our customers over the years, we now offer something for everyone, from our popular TOURING, ADVENTURE and ECHINDA campers.
As a local small business, we’re passionate about turning our project into a success story expanding our factory as popularity grew and introducing an in house CNC furniture router and pairing with industry reconised chassis manufacture. Branching out from Geelong Victoria to a national dealer network has taken our passion for camping to a whole new level.
However, we wouldn’t have come this far without the support and inspiration from our clients who travel from all corners of the country to share our love for camping.
