Inspired by a campground, South Lake Tahoe hotel Basecamp is styled with familiar objects in new settings and a fearless approach to color. Tarpaulin doubles as a headboard, an oil lantern is rewired as a desk lamp, and bunk beds are meant for adults as much as children. Here is a list of the key essentials to pull off the look.
