The camper was clean, comfortable and was perfect for what was needed. They are very accommodating as Greg had to delivery one to a location almost two hours away one way. Then had to turn around and drop off to me which is around an hour. Every thing went smoothly, the generator starts on first pull and was great on gas. We were happy to have the camper on Thursday as it poured for part of the night. In the past when it rained we were in a tent. It was nice to be able to take a shower to get the dust off of me and sweat. Bed is super comfortable and the ac worked well but we only used it for a short time. All in all it was a great experience dealing with them. Will be looking forward to using them again next year.

Matt was incredible from start to finish. Replies almost immediately to all messages and questions from time of booking, leading up to the trip and during your trip. The RV was immaculate on the outside, the entire cabin, refrigerator, bathrooms, etc. And it came with everything we would need for the trip. Was our first time staying in an RV - Matt showed up promptly when he said he would (even earlier), set up everything for our stay and walked me through everything we needed to know to use and enjoy the RV for a week. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone and would certainly book with him again!

The RV is new and very clean. Maxime is a great host, super friendly and understanding when we were a little late to return it. Would definitely rent this RV again. I particularly liked the layout of the bathroom since it can be made into a very spacious bathroom which is rare in an RV. Great experience!

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV in Johnstown, NY
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Johnstown, NY?
RV rental in Johnstown is affordable compared to bigger Northeast hubs. On RVezy, most travel trailers run roughly $90 to $160 per night, Class C motorhomes typically land between $175 and $275, and larger Class A rigs can reach $300 or more. To score a cheap RV rental in Johnstown, travel midweek, avoid Fonda Fair week in early September, and book outside the July to mid-August peak. Filter by Instant Book and travel trailers to find Fulton County hosts who price competitively, and look for multi-night discounts that many hosts offer for stays of 5 or more nights.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Johnstown%2C%20New%20YorkWhat kind of driver's license do I need to rent an RV in Johnstown?
Good news: a regular Class D driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Johnstown for the vast majority of motorhomes and travel trailers on RVezy. New York's Class D covers RVs with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,000 pounds or less, which includes nearly every Class B campervan, Class C motorhome, and travel trailer listed on the platform. You'll need to be at least 25 years old, and RVezy verifies your ID securely during checkout. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your home license. Most first-time renters in the Glove Cities are pleasantly surprised at how simple the paperwork really is.
dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/get-driver-licenseWhat protection comes with my Johnstown RV rental?
Every RV rental in Johnstown booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you're covered from the moment you pull out of the driveway. The protection plan helps cover physical damage to the RV, giving you peace of mind on winding Adirondack roads or while parking at Caroga Lake. During booking you choose your coverage level to match your comfort and budget. Review the plan details before confirming so you head into your Mohawk Valley trip feeling confident and ready.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Johnstown RV trip?
Booking an RV in Johnstown is low-risk because RVezy, not individual hosts, sets the cancellation policy across the platform. There's a money-back grace period right after booking, and depending on how far out your trip start date is, you may be eligible for partial or full refunds. Natural disasters, severe weather, and other extenuating circumstances are also considered. Full details are in the RVezy Help Center, and customer support is available 24/7 if your plans shift. Book early to lock in your preferred rig, knowing the cancellation framework has your back.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Johnstown RV trip?
Yes, plenty of pet-friendly RV rentals in Johnstown are available on RVezy. Toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on the listing page to see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) in their rigs. Once you arrive, you have dog-friendly territory at your fingertips: Caroga Lake Campground allows leashed pets with current rabies documentation, and the trails up Kane Mountain Fire Tower are great for paw-powered adventures. Message the host before booking to confirm pet fees (typically $25 to $75 per stay) and ask about their favorite local dog-friendly stops, like the grassy lawns around Johnson Hall State Historic Site.
parks.ny.gov/historic-sites/16/details.aspxCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near Johnstown?
Yes, RV delivery in Johnstown is one of the smartest moves for first-timers, and many Fulton County hosts offer it. They'll drive the motorhome to your chosen spot, level it, hook up shore power and water, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Popular delivery destinations include Caroga Lake Campground (about 20 minutes north on Route 10), Northampton Beach Campground on Great Sacandaga Lake, and private properties around Mayfield. Use the Delivery filter when searching, then message the host with your campground site number. Delivery fees commonly range from $2 to $4 per mile round-trip, and many hosts waive setup charges for longer stays.
dec.ny.gov/places/caroga-lake-campground-and-day-use-areaHow far can I drive from Johnstown on a typical RV rental?
You have a fantastic radius of road trip options for your Johnstown RV trip. Lake George sits about 50 miles east, Saratoga Springs is roughly 45 miles southeast, Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame are about 55 miles south, and Niagara Falls is roughly a 220-mile haul west on I-90. The Canadian border is around 200 miles north for those eyeing an international add-on. Most Johnstown hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with additional miles around $0.30 to $0.45 each. If you're planning a big loop, ask about RV rental with unlimited mileage, several local hosts offer it as an add-on for a flat daily fee.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Johnstown%2C%20New%20YorkWhere are the best campgrounds near Johnstown for RV camping?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping near Johnstown. Caroga Lake Campground (DEC-operated, about 20 minutes north) offers a sandy beach, boat launch, dump station, and accommodates larger rigs. Royal Mountain Campground on State Highway 29 has sites with hookups, typically open May through mid-October, and is just minutes from downtown. Northampton Beach Campground on Great Sacandaga Lake (about 30 minutes east) is another DEC favorite with full amenities. For full hookups, look at private parks around Mayfield. Book DEC and state park sites through ReserveAmerica, the reservation window opens 9 months in advance.
dec.ny.gov/things-to-do/camping/reservationsWhen is the best time to visit Johnstown in an RV?
Late May through early October is prime time for an RV rental in Johnstown, with the sweet spot being mid-June to mid-September. July highs average near 80 degrees F and lows near 60 degrees F, ideal for swimming at Caroga Lake or paddling Great Sacandaga Lake. September delivers crisp days in the low 70s and excellent Adirondack foliage starting late in the month, with fewer crowds. May and early June can still bring chilly nights in the 40s, so confirm your RV has a working furnace. Time your trip around the Fonda Fair (late August into early September) for a real taste of Mohawk Valley culture.
weather.gov/aly/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in Johnstown?
You're going to do great, Johnstown is one of the easier places in the Northeast to learn. Traffic in the Glove Cities (Johnstown and Gloversville) is light, parking lots are roomy, and Route 30A and Route 29 are wide two-lane highways with gentle terrain. Every host on RVezy provides a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering hookups, slide-outs, the propane system, and tank management, so no one leaves you to figure it out alone. First time renting an RV? Start with a Class C motorhome or smaller travel trailer in the 22 to 26 foot range. Do a short practice loop in a large, empty lot before pointing north toward the Adirondacks.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my trip?
You're never stranded. Every Johnstown RV rental on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you're in downtown Johnstown or on a remote road near Caroga Lake. The service covers flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing to the nearest qualified service center. RVezy customer support is also available around the clock to coordinate repairs and communicate with your host. Save the roadside assistance number in your phone before you leave the driveway, and snap a quick photo of the RV's VIN so any service center can locate parts fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Johnstown rental RV across state lines or into Canada?
Cross-state travel is generally fine, your Johnstown rental is welcome throughout the continental US. Popular RV road trips from Johnstown include Vermont and New Hampshire (2 to 3 hours east), the Finger Lakes (about 2 hours west), and the Maine coast (about 6 hours). Travel to Canada (Montreal is around 200 miles north) may be allowed depending on the host and protection plan, so confirm in writing through the RVezy messaging system before booking. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental due to insurance limitations. If heading to Canada, carry your passport, the host's written permission, and the RV's registration ready at the border.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage should I budget for my Johnstown RV trip?
Plan smart and fuel won't surprise you. Class B campervans get 16 to 20 MPG, Class C motorhomes average 8 to 12 MPG, and Class A motorhomes typically run 6 to 10 MPG. Travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle but expect a 20 to 30 percent MPG drop. New York gas prices typically average in the $3.20 to $3.80 per gallon range, with convenient fill-up spots along North Comrie Avenue and West State Street in Johnstown. For a 4-night, 400-mile loop in a Class C, budget roughly $150 to $200 in fuel. Use GasBuddy to scout cheaper gas and diesel along Route 30A heading toward Amsterdam and the Thruway.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Johnstown?
For summer weekends, book your campground 3 to 6 months ahead, especially for Caroga Lake Campground, which fills up fast for July 4th, Labor Day, and prime foliage weekends in late September. New York State Parks and DEC campgrounds use ReserveAmerica, with reservations opening 9 months in advance. Royal Mountain Campground and other private parks accept reservations directly and are often more flexible 2 to 4 weeks out. Weekday arrivals are easier to snag, and DEC campgrounds often allow same-day reservations if you want a spontaneous trip.
dec.ny.gov/things-to-do/camping/reservationsWhat are driving conditions like around Johnstown?
Driving an RV around Johnstown is refreshingly stress-free compared to most Northeast destinations. The Glove Cities have wide streets, low traffic, and easy access to Route 30A connecting south to the New York State Thruway (I-90) at Fonda. Heading north toward the Adirondacks, expect gentle hills, well-maintained two-lane roads, and standard interstate clearances on the Thruway. Winter brings significant snow and icy patches from November through March, so most renters stick to May through October. Use caution on Route 10 north of Caroga Lake in fog or after dark, the road narrows and deer crossings are common around dusk.
511ny.org/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Johnstown?
Local campgrounds range from rustic to full-service. Caroga Lake Campground (DEC) has hot showers, flush toilets, a trailer dump station, a swim beach, and a boat launch, but does not have individual site hookups, so plan to use your RV's onboard tanks (generator use is restricted to posted quiet-hour windows). Royal Mountain Campground offers water and electric hookups. For full hookups including sewer, look at private parks around Mayfield or Lake George RV Park (about an hour east). The dump station at Caroga Lake is open to the public for a small fee. Bring a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a 30-amp adapter to fit most regional setups.
dec.ny.gov/places/caroga-lake-campground-and-day-use-areaWhat's inside a typical Johnstown RV rental?
You'll find more comfort than expected in a motorhome rental in Johnstown. Most Class C and Class A rigs sleep 4 to 8 with a queen bed, convertible dinette, and bunk options, plus a full kitchen (fridge, microwave, gas stove, sink), a bathroom with shower and toilet, roof AC, propane furnace, and an awning. Many include a flat-screen TV and stereo, and a good share of Johnstown listings include onboard generators for boondocking. Built-in Wi-Fi is uncommon and cell service can be spotty deep in the Adirondacks, so a mobile hotspot is helpful. Ask the host about seatbelts, only seated belted positions are legal for passengers while driving, so confirm the count matches your group.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Johnstown%2C%20New%20YorkWhat add-ons and pickup options should I expect when booking?
Johnstown hosts offer a generous menu of extras to customize your campervan rental in Johnstown. Common add-ons include linens and bedding packages ($30 to $75), kitchen kits ($25 to $50), camp chairs and outdoor rugs ($15 to $30), generators ($15 to $25 per day), bike racks, and Wi-Fi hotspots. Mileage policies typically include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with additional miles around $0.30 to $0.45. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Johnstown, Gloversville, or Mayfield, with flexible pickup windows in the early afternoon. Bundle add-ons during booking to lock in pricing, and ask if your host offers a hotspot or Starlink, which is helpful for working remotely from Adirondack campgrounds.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Johnstown%2C%20New%20YorkHow does the security deposit and payment work on RVezy?
Payment on RVezy is straightforward and secure. You pay through the platform with a credit or debit card, never in cash directly to the host, which keeps your booking protected by RVezy's protection plan and support team. A refundable security deposit (typically a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the rig) is held separately from your booking payment before pickup and released after return, assuming no damage or excessive cleaning. To avoid issues, do a thorough walkaround video with your host at pickup, document existing scratches, and return the RV with tanks dumped and fuel refilled as agreed.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat's a great first RV road trip itinerary starting from Johnstown?
Here's a crowd-pleasing 5-day RV road trip from Johnstown. Day 1: pick up your rig and head about 20 minutes north to Caroga Lake Campground for swimming and a Kane Mountain Fire Tower hike. Day 2: drive about 45 minutes northeast to Northampton Beach on Great Sacandaga Lake for paddling and fishing. Day 3: continue about 1 hour east to Lake George for the village, steamboat cruises, and Prospect Mountain views. Day 4: detour south to Saratoga Springs (about 45 minutes) for the historic racetrack and mineral springs. Day 5: loop back via Cooperstown (about 1 hour) for the Baseball Hall of Fame before returning to Johnstown. Stop at Johnson Hall State Historic Site in Johnstown itself, a 1763 Georgian gem most visitors miss.
