This RV was exactly as described! We utilized the delivery and setup option! The communication with the owner was very prompt and timely! The camper was clean with a great snack basket for us! We also rented the golf cart and it was fantastic! We would definitely rent the camper again!

Excellent experience renting this camper. It was all set up ready to go when we arrived at our camp site and it was very spacious for my family. The outside kitchen with mini fridge and Blackstone grill was very convenient. I cooked breakfast on it both mornings. Thanks for a great experience at Brushy Creek Ranch!
