Recent South Lake Tahoe RV rental reviews
Renting with Richard couldn’t have gone better! We were taking a trip to Tahoe national Forest and a place that we had never been, to meet up with family. With taking two small children and our dog on their first camping trip together we knew we wanted to get an RV to have some of the comforts of home and have someone deliver an RV with more driving experience. Richard not only dropped it off and set it up to the site for us, he also picked it up when we were ready to leave. Our camping trip went so much better having the RV and the kids loved staying in the bunkbeds! Thank you so much again Richard we had an AMAZING time!!!

Our first experience traveling in an RV van an we absolutely had a blast. Robert and Renee made it extremely easy to understand the van. They are very responsive via text or calls. We are already planning our next trip and definitely will use Robert and Renee’s van again.

Karina was very responsive, the meet up to pick up and drop off went smoothly. We did have a couple issues with the RV panel that it needed to reboot for every generator use. They said they were aware and were planning on replacing. We were unable to see grey and black water usage levels. The A/C works but only on a high level and vents are a bit broken and don't stay open without putting something in place to keep them open. Overall the RV was great for our girls trip. We had 4 adult women and it was good for what we needed. There are solar panels and satellite but we were not sure how to use it and it was not explained, so we can not give any review on those features. It would've been good to have an owners manual on how the RV operates with those features a long with anything else. Took a couple days just to figure out the quirks but it did not interfere with our trip. The main door lock did break, but I was able to get it replaced at the end of the trip. Overall, I would definitely rent again given some of the little things being resolved as it is a great RV.

Late May and mid-September are great shoulder windows with fewer crowds and cooler nights. Winter RV camping is possible for prepared travelers, but expect freezing overnight lows, snowstorms, and chain controls on mountain highways.

For last-minute trips, private parks like Tahoe Valley Campground and Camp Richardson are good options to try.
