Tee RV was exactly as described and just what we needed to take our Aunt and Uncle on a "bucket list" trip. Josh was truly helpful and honest and very easy to communicate with. If all our rental experiences were as this one was , we wouldn't own anything, just rent!!

Great experience renting from Josh! He was friendly, responsive, and made the whole process very easy. The RV had everything we needed and was exactly as described. Josh also took the time to explain everything during the walkthrough, which made us feel very comfortable before the trip. Highly recommend renting from him!

How to get to Stephen F. Austin State Park
The park sits just off Interstate 10 near San Felipe, about a one-hour drive from downtown Houston and roughly two and a half hours from Austin. Access is via Park Road 38 off FM 1458, a flat rural route with no tunnels, mountain passes, or significant grades, making it easy for RVs of most sizes. Watch for tight turns on the local farm-to-market roads and low-water crossings after heavy rain, and note that the Brazos River floodplain can be affected by prolonged wet weather. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, with Houston Hobby and Austin-Bergstrom also within reasonable driving distance.
