VANDA is a buautiful 2024 build by NOOVO. My first van rental, Steve was available for all questions and quite accommodating.
MARK E. - Jul 2024
From the start of booking to the finish of our trip, Steven was so helpful and explained into details on how to make our drive smooth. Would highly recommend anyone to book this RV, Jackie was so fun we hope to be able to rent again!

Great weekend getaway!
Kami A. - Nov 2024
Great vehicle and friendly owners. This compact camper has a lot of creature comforts while allowing one to maneuver and park in regular parking lots. The van is really easy to drive and handles really nice. The beds were comfortable and IMO accommodate 2 adults (top bed) and 1 adult or 2 kids in the lower bed. We were able to use the bike rack, too, and that worked great for a road bike and mountain bike (I think 2 mountain bikes might not fit unless the handle bars were turned on 1 of them). We didn't use the, generator, heater, hot water, shower, sink, microwave or toilet so I can't comment on them but I wish we rented it longer so we could've taken advantage of all this van has to offer. We would absolutely rent again.

How to get to Nockamixon State Park
The park sits about 5 miles east of Quakertown off PA Route 563 and is roughly a 1 hour and 15 minute drive (45 miles) from Philadelphia via I-476 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension. Allentown and the Lehigh Valley are about 30 miles north, and New York City is roughly 75 miles to the northeast. RV drivers should note that the final approach on PA 563 and surrounding Bucks County roads is rural, winding, and hilly with narrow shoulders, and nearby River Road (PA 32) along the Delaware has low clearances and tight curves that are not recommended for larger rigs. The closest major fly-and-rent hubs are Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) near Allentown.
