Wood paneling and loud ceilings fans are a must have.

camo curtains, large flatscreen in den, old ceramic sinks...

Along w old magazines, a gas heater that doubles as a place to hang your wet clothes to dry, and bunk beds

If it is around agriculture, better buy 2 cases of foam in a can. Once you get them asian beetles, they will drive you nuts.
Will also help with heating & cooling.

all the furniture must be salvaged from the side of the road and/or somebody’s grandmother. Stains are a must and ripped cushions are preferable
linoleum for the floors and as noted prior, wood paneling on the walls. Decor should include calendars from a decade ago, beer lights and at least one bug eaten shoulder mount

Don't forget the cpvc plumbing. Some cast iron water pipe should be sprinkled in if you want to be truly authentic.

You've got to establish the smell early.
Some posters/pictures your wife doesn't want your kids to see but you let them.
The major piece, a wood burning fireplace if possible. That separates the hunting camps from other hunting camps.

Make sure it has floors like this

When I was a kid we had a cast iron wood burning stove in the middle of the living room at our camp as our only heat.
I loved that place

An old pool table that leans and the peel and stick square ceiling tiles are a nice touch.
Screened in porch add on as well to put on your boots and play cards on your fold up card table at night.
Dial radio that catches AM static oldies.

That’s what a camp is supposed to be in my mind. Anything else and you’ve just bought a second home that you happen to hunt around

Moldiest, nastiest, dirtiest shower possible.

I like that vinyl.

So true.

With a cinder screen made of 1/2" chicken wire. Also, Old tin nailed to the wood floor about 6 inches out from the fireplace to prevent it from catching on fire.
People keep mentioning paneling...I must be old...freaking 6 inch tongue and groove on the walls or you are just pretending.
eta: I should add, where I grew up hunting the camp was an actual small antebellum type home. Not a nice one mind you...it was old. 4 rooms, all with fireplaces and really tall ceilings. The bunkbeds where built on the walls and were 4 high...no shite. That place was easily sleeping 30+ on the busy weekends. One of the rooms was the kitchen/card playing area. Good times.

Absolutely no insulation. It is not a hunting camp if it is insulated.

Me too. I pulled up the floor in my kitchen and it looks similar to the pic I posted. Kind of gives my house a hunting camp vibe now. It'll be covered back up soon :(
