The boondocks are coming to Brooklyn.
A group of hipsters is getting ready to turn a derelict Bushwick nut-roasting factory into the Big Apple’s very own backwoods — setting up a trailer park that will cater to starving artists the city over.
“The phone hasn’t stopped ringing with people wanting to move in,” said saxophonist Hayden Cummings, 27, who abandoned a plan to freewheel across the country on a homemade bicycle after having a vision of a camper-van paradise.
For a meager $590 a month, a few lucky tenants will get one of 30 campers that will be rolled into the massive back yard of the former Meserole Street factory this spring, according to an ad placed on Craigslist.
Chickens will roam among the rows of RVs, which will each include a rooftop garden.
The “amenities” that come along with downscale digs are making the new address a hit.
Each wi-fi-equipped van will have a single bed, A/C, electricity and a hot plate.
But bathing will be communal — a loading bay will house four showers and four toilets.
Renters will also enjoy a recreation room and a communal kitchen where free feasts will be cooked up using “salvaged food” — pickings from trash bins.
And the artists will have a chance to express themselves with a photography darkroom, a wood- and metal-working shop, and a music studio.
“This is not for everybody,” said Cummings, who is leasing the property. “But a lot of people are fired up about it. The people who like it and who want to come aboard know they’re living in a camper.
“We’re looking for folks who believe in the vision.”
Cummings has spent the last couple of months traveling the northeast searching for cheap RVs, and has bought nine already, spending between $1,000 and $2,000 each.
“Most of these things aren’t being used,” he said.
“All I have to do is knock on the door, and the owners are glad to get rid of them.”
Cummings and two partners are racing to fix up the space before the first tenants arrive next month. He said he isn’t worried about the community’s image — just the opposite.
“The whole ‘trailer-trash’ thing, I think we’ll get a lot of local artists who’ll see a lot of appeal in that,” he said.
A spokesman for the Department of Housing and Urban Development said it would investigate the park if any complaints are received.
