At Starcraft, we've been in the business of making camping fun for over 50 years. Based in the heart of northern Indiana's Amish country, we've built our reputation on crafting dependable campers at affordable prices, using the highest quality materials available. Add an unwavering, Amish-inspired attention to detail and time-tested design principles to the mix, and you'll understand what we mean when we say Starcraft is camping. Pure and simple. HISTORY: FROM FARM EQUIPMENT TO CAMPER MANUFACTURER Starcraft began the same year as Ford, Harley Davidson and Teddy Roosevelt. 1903-1991: Starcraft's roots date back to a year in American history when The Rough Rider was President, Henry Ford assembled the first automobile under his namesake, and Bill Harley and Art Davidson founded HOG heaven.
