We had a great road trip to Big Bend in this camper van! It was an easy way to travel with 2 young kids and stay organized. Super easy to drive. Alison was a lovely host, very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Look no further than Alison & her super cool campervan for your next road trip! Alison is the sweetest and took time to walk me through the Van & answer all my questions. (She even let us borrow some of her kids’ DVDs for the trip!)

The whole experience was excellent. The owners were flexible and helpful. At the initial walk-through, they explained all the functions of the van, answered all of our questions, and gave us helpful tips. The van is an easy drive, with good visibility and acceleration. It handled the steep mountain roads in New Mexico with no problems, and it’s small enough to fit in a standard parking spot. The ability to use Apple Carplay made navigation easy. Our family of 4 was comfortably on the road for 7 days. We loved the forward-facing car seats for the kids, very comfortable and lots of space for each of them. The kids slept great on the fold-out couch and the top bed was big enough for me at 6’(I used a sleeping pad to have a consistent surface under me). At night the temps got down to 30, so we stayed at sites with electricity and used the included space heater, which kept us nice and cozy. There is ample storage in the van, even with me overpacking. And the fridge holds a surprisingly large amount of food. The owners were great at the drop-off as well. Our family is looking forward to our next trip.

The van was perfect and a great value for the price! Alison was very flexible with all parts of the rental which made it overall a 5-star experience. Definitely give this van a try for any trip. Highly recommend!

We took two adults and 3 kids, 8 and under, to Big Bend and had a great time! The ability to have 5 seatbelts was huge for us, and most vans don’t seem to offer that. The owners are great too!

This van was the perfect choice for our first Outdoorsy rental! Alison was flexible and highly communicative! Myself, my husband, and our 15 month old daughter slept and traveled comfortably in this well outfitted van! Highly recommend this owner and this vehicle!

This van provided everything me and 2 close friends needed to go on our 5 day road trip. There was more than enough space to fit our bags comfortably and sleep in the evenings.
The optional supplies provided were great; the chairs, cooking equipment and blankets kept us fully prepared to be on and off grid during the trip. The van itself was very smooth to drive and had zero issues.

We rented the vehicle for a two-night camping adventure with our two grandkids to Dinosaur Valley State Park. Bryan did a great job of explaining all of the features of the van and how they worked. In the renting process, when we had questions Alison got back to us right away and was very helpful. The van is well-engineered and drives beautifully on the highway and handles like a minivan in town. There is no kitchen or plumbing (but there is a portable composting toilet), so it is a camping experience ... it was nice to be near the campground's bathrooms and showers. However, the small fridge and microwave came in handy. Another nice feature was the DVD player which helped distract the kids while driving or after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. It sleeps 4, and it's pretty tight, but more comfortable than sleeping on the ground in a tent. The upper bunk is a bit awkward (especially for us older types), but there is a sturdy ladder to help get in and out. Overall the van was clean and felt new. I would recommend this for getaways where you enjoy car camping but do not want to tow or drive one of the really big RVs.

This vehicle drove like a dream and it was just the thing my family needed to get out of the house, spend time together, and recharge! Alison was so wonderful in walking us through the vehicle when we picked it up. Super clean, easy to set up at camp, and so much more. Can't say enough great things!
