Jenn was extremely accommodating when our original booking fell through the day of our reservation at the campsite. The trailer was perfect for our needs and kept us warm and dry when it rained, and cool and comfortable when the weather changed for the better. ☺️

Can’t wait to book again! Very clean and so much room for our family of four. We went to Kinbrook island campground and had the best time. They delivered it and had it all set up for us when we got there. They were so easy to deal with and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Highly recommend. Thank you for the amazing experience!
