Discover West Hartford RV rentals for memorable road trips

Along the western edge of Connecticut's capital, Hartford, you can find the cheery suburban town of West Hartford. This rapidly growing community dates back centuries to 1636 when Reverend Thomas Hooker first delivered his congregation of followers to central Connecticut to found the Hartford Colony. The homesteading community was primarily agriculture-based, carving farmland from the rugged wilderness that was once home to the Wampanoag native people.

Experience the Sites and Scenery

It might be unexpected, but Connecticut has some incredible scenery between its rocky coastline and the Taconic Mountains in the northwest corner of the state. Autumn is an especially appropriate time to rent an RV in West Hartford to witness the annual changing of the foliage on the trees. Talcott Mountain State Park is an ideal place to see the fiery orange, red, and yellow hues of the trees come to life, with epic views of the capital and of the Farmington Valley. The towering cliffs of Talcott Mountain are excellent to hike to, as are the waterfalls and hang-gliding launch points at the park. There are scenic reservoirs and ponds to fish in but the main feature at the park is the massive Heublein Tower. Penwood State Park is another place to check out when you rent an RV and it is practically right across the road from Talcott Mountain State Park’s parking lot. The park has paved bicycle paths circling the important reservoir that services the city. There are a few delightful hiking trails throughout the park and a fishing boardwalk with great views of the lake too.

RV Friendly

<p>Connecticut doesn’t exactly have a whole lot of campgrounds or RV parks, but if you look hard enough you just might find some hidden gems. Bear Creek Campground is located right around the corner from Lake Compounce, a fun-filled theme park. Guests to the campground can buy discounted tickets to the park and enjoy the many amenities like a general store, basketball courts, playgrounds, and much more. Branch Brook Campground is a family-oriented campground with a refreshing pool, game room, and fishing pond. Wilderness Lake Campground is a more rustic experience where campers can enjoy solitude and tranquility in their West Hartford motorhome rental.</p>

City Attractions

Although there are no massive national parks or forests nearby, West Hartford has loads of impressive historical sites and fascinating museums. West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square are the trendy downtown areas of West Hartford with numerous upscale restaurants, bars, and shopping boutiques. The Children's Museum of Connecticut is located in the center of the city and is an absolutely great place to bring the children when you rent an RV in West Hartford. There is a wealth of fun exhibits to tour and a gigantic whale statue outside the museum that guests can actually walk into.

We had a great experience renting from Jon. Since it was our first time doing this, we were nervous, but Jon explained everything perfectly and was easily readable for questions throughout the rental period. We'll definitely do this again.

Gerry was great to work with! Super accommodating and just a nice guy with a handsome dog :) The camper was absolutely perfect for a weekend away. The upgraded bed was amazing after a long day and the shower had great pressure and super hot! Thanks Gerry! We look forward to next year!
