Top Hosts near AB, Canada
Ryan was great to deal with. He responded quickly to our questions before and during the rental process. He went way beyond simply renting the trailer to us-- he recommended sites in the area, and when the power went out in the campground, he was ready and willing to bring a generator to the campsite!! The only negative was the weather on the Thanksgiving weekend (6 inches of snow, ugh) and, unfortunately, Ryan couldn't fix that! Thanks, Ryan, for making our first RV rental experience a positive one.

We had a great weekend at Crimson Lake in Ryan's trailer. He had it all set up and ready to go for us when we arrived. We really appreciated the large outdoor BBQ he provided in the trailer as it's nice to cook outside. He also provided plenty of camp chairs and lots of plastic food containers. I always forget to bring Tupperware for leftovers. Great communication and very accommodating. Wouldn't hesitate to rent from him again.

John is a great host and the trailer is incredible. Well stocked with items to enjoy your weekend with comfort. It was received very clean and our 4 days went incredible.
Dietrich D. - Oct 2025
The trailer was perfect for our family camping trip. It came with everything we needed. The trailer was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the living space was perfect. Had a nice two seater couch and a nice dining room table. John was easy to communicate with and answered all my questions. Would definitely rent his trailer again.
