Auburn State Recreation Area is located on the western edge of California near the state’s border with Nevada. This 42,377-acre area was once a sought-after place for gold panning and still is thanks to its abundance of minerals. During the 1950s, a dam was to be built on the grounds, but this plan was soon abandoned due to fears of its construction causing an earthquake.

Daniel was awesome from the very beginning to the drop off after out trip. He was super accommodating with the pick up and drop off, super flexible. The van was all we were looking for, new, clean, the beds and the pop up were very nice to have. It drove fantastic even in the pouring rain. We would highly recommend Daniel for anyone's trip with a van that has everything.

Best experience!!! The host, James, excels in communications, walking you through things that you don’t know. This van is stocked! Bring your towels and personal items but other than that, this van has it. We took it to a remote bike race and we were off grid for over a week without a problem!

We had a great experience with Maddy and it was our first time renting a trailer. The Trailer was in excellent condition and has everything you need. Communicating was easy and fast. We will definitely be renting again! Thank you Maddy!
