The Wandering Gypsy made our stay great. It was clean and stocked full of what we needed for a great stay. Top notch service. Highly recommended.

Amelie was great to deal with from start to finish! She was flexible with pick up and a drop off which we appreciated. She was super responsive when we were looking to book the trailer and with all questions leading up to the trip. The trailer was perfect for our group of 6, myself, my husband, our 2 year old, my sister, her husband and their 10 month old. The trailer was fully stocked and came with everything we needed, it even included camping chairs. There were plates, cups, cutlery, paper towel, toilet paper and so much more. Amelie also provided the hitch and everything required to tow the trailer. We would absolutely recommend this trailer if you are looking to rent in the Sudbury area and if we go camping in this area again then we will definitely be renting this trailer again.
