Recent RV rental reviews in Rattlesnake Canyon Park

Renting the RV from Nick could not be more worth it. The trailer itself is perfect for any family, especially with young kids. Our daughters had so much fun sleeping in the bunk beds. The trailer was given to us in immaculate condition, and Nick made the pick up and drop off as smooth as possible. I’ve rented other trailers and RVs in the past and this was the most positive experience I’ve had.

Great! Easy fast and helpful communication, by far the best trailer rental we've had on this app. Perfect size for our family of 6, well stocked, super clean, even better than the pictures.
