Katy was an awesome host. She took the time to go over every thing about the trailer and things worked. She gave some helpful tips that even this experienced camper appreciated. The trailer was exactly as advertised and was perfect for my intended use.

Gordon T. - Oct 2025

Katy is really helpful. She even checked on us multiple times during our trip to make sure if we need anything or having any problems. For first time campers or even experienced, this is a ready to go trailer camp. Everything you need for camping is in there. Clean, functional and well cared for. Thank you Katy for the great experience and will definitely book it again next summer.
