Recent RV rental reviews in Sunset Rock State Park

The Minnie Winnie delivered big! The sleeping area had a comfortable mattress and plenty of room (queen) for the two of us and a variable number of our shelties. The bathroom/closet was perfect, with a shower roomy enough for 6'3"me and plenty of storage for our towels and clothes. The slide-out is HUGE and the kitchen/dining area was more than ample. Gerry took care of all the set-up and take-down, explained everything we needed to know, and in general was a downright friendly bloke to deal with before, during, and after our vacation. This is a nearly annual trip for us, so we are looking forward to a repeat of our experience next year!
