Two things come to mind immediately after looking at these unique urban campgrounds. Firstly, there seems to be a resurgence in [Airstream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airstream-x-tommy-bahama-resort-edition-camper-van) trailers, and second, living in a [luxury trailer park](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robeta-ananya-glampervan) on the top of a building seems a little eccentric.

These trailer park penthouses represent the ultimate in luxury living quarters in South Africa. I would never have associated luxury living with a mobile home before, but have a look at the pics and see for yourself.

**Implications** - This luxurious urban campground concept in South Africa really does bring a new definition to what luxury living can be. The spaces are each designed by a different local artist. High-end luxury consumers could do worse than to check these out.
