About The Fancy Camper
Indy’s Premiere Place for Towable Airstream RV Rentals
Retha and Larry Parsley, the husband and wife owners of The Fancy Camper, had always been lovers of camping, travel, and the great outdoors. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, Retha and Larry, both successful entrepreneurs, wracked their brains for a way to safely continue to enjoy traveling with their son, Hayden.
Meanwhile, they also had a desire to share the feelings of freedom and togetherness that they receive from traveling and camping as a family with the world, in a time when togetherness was extremely difficult to achieve. One fortuitous call to a Wisconsin Airstream travel trailer dealer later, and the idea for The Fancy Camper was born!
Intended as a way for families or small groups to see the country, get closer to nature, and to one another, The Fancy Camper also features different packages containing all the amenities they’ll need to live life and work on the road as they would from home, making it the perfect getaway experience for just the weekend or even a whole week.
The Fancy Camper is also a terrific way to introduce the fun and excitement of camping to those who may not be totally on board with the idea of sleeping in a dirty, musty tent on the hard ground. Campers can enjoy the fun of hiking through parks and songs around the campfire knowing there is a soft, warm bed waiting for them at night… and most importantly, an actual bathroom!
With plans to eventually add and refurbish more Airstreams and grow a fleet of Fancy Campers across America, Retha, Larry, and Hayden regularly hit the road in the Fancy Camper themselves to find family fun, and maybe even help others get inspired for their family’s own Fancy Camper getaway with the stories they share.
They are thrilled to be able to share their love with others and hope to help other “Fancy Families” across the country create their own lifelong memories together.

“If you want to dip your toe into the camping experience, you might consider renting an RV or camper. In fact, the adorable camper on this issue’s front cover, named “The Fancy Camper,” is available for rent. Acting like an Airbnb on wheels, the owners provide just about everything you’ll need to make your camping experience seamless, including towels, sheets, kitchenware, and more. Owners Larry and Retha Parsley, from Carmel, purchased the camper during Covid to provide an active and enjoyable outlet for their son, who’s disabled. ‘Camping was the perfect solution for our family to be able to get out and have adventures together, in a safe environment for my son,’ Retha explains. ‘We wanted to be able to share the camping experience with others, so we decided to turn the Fancy Camper into a rental.’ The Carmel couple fell in love with the camping experience and are currently restoring another Airstream. ‘Camping provides the relaxing getaway we need to unwind from our normally busy life,’ says Retha.”
