Very Friendly excellent service

We had an outstanding experience renting from Jonathan through RVezy. The RV was in excellent shape and carried our family all the way from Ohio to the Grand Canyon and the National Parks in Utah and back again. Everything worked perfectly, and when we had questions, Jonathan was extremely kind, responsive, and helpful. We wouldn’t change a single thing! We had the family vacation of our dreams.

Jonathan and Griselda were great to work with! Fast response to all my questions. The camper was great, clean, no issues at all. We had a great time and now our grandkids want us to by one. If we don't we will rent from them again.

The park entrance sits off State Route 4, about 10 minutes from downtown Springfield, roughly a 30 minute drive from Dayton, and a one hour drive from Columbus via I-70. Access is on flat, open highway with no tunnels or steep mountain grades, which is favorable for longer RVs and towable trailers. Watch for low-clearance bridges on secondary county roads if routing through rural areas. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Dayton International Airport, about 40 miles west.
