Recent Santa Barbara trailer rental reviews
We had a great experience renting Nick’s trailer. It was clean, in working condition, was comfortable, and had everything we needed for a fun weeklong camping trip at the beach. When we picked it up, he walked us through the ins and outs of how the trailer worked. The rental process was easy, and he was helpful and very responsive. We will definitely be renting the trailer again next time.

This is the second time I’ve rented this trailer from Keith. Both times have been excellent experiences from start to finish. Keith is very responsive and the trailer fits our needs exactly. I expect to rent from Keith again!

Great experience on our first camping adventure with our kids (almost 4 and almost 2). Host was incredibly responsive and timely in replying to our interest in booking literally DAY OF. We had an unfortunate experience with a completely separate RV rental company and were looking for a last minute option to save our trip. This was it! We are so grateful! Our trip was awesome and the rental process was so seamless. Thank you!

What an amazing trip!! Oscar and his crew (his 2-boys 💪) came out and got everything setup the day we were scheduled to arrive, even had chairs setup with a nice mat in the front area! The trailer had everything you could imagine, and even had speakers inside/out for full party 🥳 mode when needed! We were 2-adults, 1-kid, 1-infant and had plenty of space. We hadn't been camping in a while, and first time with the kiddos, so this made everything so EASY!! After we were done, Oscar and his boys came to take down the trailer (probably 15-minutes total!) and they were gone! Will definitely be booking with Oscar and his boys again! Thanks for the wonderful family memories, cheers 🍻

Where to explore in Santa Barbara with a trailer
Stearns Wharf and the waterfront along Cabrillo Boulevard are easy to reach from coastal campgrounds around Santa Barbara, with public parking and nearby short-term RV parking for day visits. The Santa Barbara Mission offers a historic stop with parking suitable for day visits and short walks through the gardens. For wider country scenery, take Highway 154 over San Marcos Pass into the Santa Ynez Valley—this scenic drive is popular with trailer traffic and connects to wineries and equestrian trails.
