Description
Yellow & Orange (vinyl covered cardboard) RV looking camper with a plastic lift up windshield, so you can place Barbie in the drivers seat. It had a fold down panel on the driver’s side that extended out into an attached tent. I have seen two colors for the tent, one was an orangey red and the other was a multi-colored plaid. The panel on the passenger side would slide out to reveal the inside living area. The back panel would pull down and be supported by a yellow string creating an attached table. It also came with a lot of camping equipment, campfire (gray rocks with orange flames), and grill to place on top of fire, pots, pans, coffee pot, plates & table. The color of these items may vary. The most common ones were orange, but I’ve seen yellow. It also had fold out chairs with yellow seat & orange legs and two yellow sleeping bags. But the same applies to these items as the tent … I’ve seen multi color plaid on the sleeping bags and chairs.

i am sorry but, unless Santa Claus left out or kept most of my County Camper stuff..the descrition about is mistaken. There were not any rocks of pots and pans just a tip out orange tent on the camper.?? Or how did all of this get by me?
I wrote the above description and went from mostly memory...my sister had one. I did more searching and found that the camper did in fact come with these items. I also found items I didn't remember. Like white cooking utensils and white drinking goblets & coffee cups.
Hi. This site is great! I, too, had the camper and remember the rock campfire and sleeping bags (yellow plastic-y?) but not the utensils. I loved mine....
Mine had all those things. Reading the description brought back so many memories. I had actually forgotten all the stuff that came with it. For me, that was the very best Christmas EVER, because my grandmother gave it to me, and she shoved a ton of barbie stuff (clothes, shoes, accessories) inside the camper so it was practically busting open. For a little girl, that was like the holy grail!
my neighbor had the camper and i had the barbie star traveler motorhome! good times! i still have it and would sell if anyone is interested-ybolin@triad.rr.com
I still rate this as the best toy i ever owned,it was fantastic even all the boys wanted to play with it in the neighbourhood with action figure dolls, i rember the campfire , the pots and pans and plated and cups and the fold out sun lounges it was great.
Does anyone remember a barbie RV? I had one. It was huge, like maybe 2 feet long. The top had an opening so you could play with the inside. It's like this thing fell off the face of the earth. They just dont make toys like that anymore. Now they're small. Mine was a yellow color. I loved that rv so much, but my mom got rid of it when I was older. It would probably be worth a lot now.
There must of been one with accessories and one without, mine came with two sleeping bags and two camp chairs. i still remember it as my best birthday present ever. You could make the top of the camper be a luggage rack by attaching rubber bands to hold down the sleeping bags on top.
I have my camper in the box...I am 45 years old and I can remeber getting this for christmas. The time has come to part with this. Does anyone know the value of this? I can not find it in any price guide.
I had the fold up camper,dont remember the accessories,it was cool,Hey CT,i had a yellow barbie RV ALSO.It had a shower,and a dresser with a pullout drawer ibelieve it was awesome,your right about not makin toys like that anymore.
I have the exact same RV described at top. I just took it out a few months back for my kids, 5 and 7,and they LOVE IT! IT's orange with the campfire described, orange pots, orange stools w/yellow seat and the tent on the drivers side that opens. It is so much fun to still have this!
