We rented a well-used unit from Matt to travel out to WI and back over Thanksgiving. Had a few issues with it, but Matt was very responsive and responsible. Issues were fixable and overall we had an excellent experience!

Awesome experience with the van! Scott was great at promptly answering questions when we had them and the van was just right to road trip and park. Easy to maneuver, great safety features, and convenient for general creature comforts. Really appreciated the experience and would absolutely rent again!
Amy G. - Oct 2025
Our camper van rental experience was a pre retirement trial for my wife, our precious lil Yorkie & me. We are new to the van life and this was our first time driving & living out of a camper van. The trip exceeded our expectations on many levels from putting together a list of ideas & “to do’s” for our future custom camper van to the overall positive learning experience thanks to our incredibly insightful and gracious host. Scott was an exceptional host, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the operation of the van inside & out. During our trip, Scott would respond to our text questions promptly, which was very comforting to know he was there for us if needed.

How to get to Mashamoquet Brook State Park
The park sits off U.S. Route 44 in Pomfret, about 50 miles (roughly 1 hour) east of Hartford and 45 miles (about 1 hour 15 minutes) north of New London. From Providence, Rhode Island, it is about 35 miles and under an hour via I-395 and Route 44. RV drivers should note that Route 44 is a two-lane rural highway with rolling grades and some tight village centers, and the park's internal roads and campground loops are narrow and wooded, which can be challenging for larger rigs. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Bradley International Airport (BDL) near Hartford.
