Excellent trailer. Super clean on the inside and was stocked with everything you need.

Rob S. - Jul 2025

Bonnie and her husband were excellent to deal with! They provided easy directions to the pick up location and were prepared for anything extra we may have needed! They also had a generator we were able to rent as we didn’t have power at our camp location. The camper was well stocked with everything you need and was very clean and comfortable! We will definitely rent again for our annual family event in the Athabasca area!
