Glad we got another chance this year to take Darlene out for a camping weekend. Same great experience as last year!
Hubert M. - Sep 2026
We had a great weekend! Pickup and drop off were easy to coordinate and the unit was so light to tow with our Subaru outback. The camper came well equipped and was perfect for off-grid camping.

Exactly as described / very easy delivery and good communication.

Too small, even for two people. There was no TV and no chairs to sit on outside. It was clean and the set up was quick and efficient.
