Recent RV rental reviews in Don Carter State Park

Mariluz S.

January, 2026

This Sprinter Coach was a game changer in transporting our 94 year old mother and a aunt and uncle from Ft. Lauderdale to Memphis. The vehicle was functional luxury, which allowed our loved ones to recline and be at peace during a 18hr road trip. Also of equal importance was the hands on communication and the always availability of the owner of the coach throughout the trip. From booking thru trips end, the owner made us feel and understand that as the owner, he was fully invested in our trips success! Using this coach is a must for your next family outing!

The owner is incredible. Easy to deal with and has made renting this beautiful van so easy. This has been our second rental of this van and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.

The sprinter was in great condition and surpassed all expectations. Kevin was very communicative and made the entire experience a breeze. Would highly recommend and will certainly work with again in the future. This was my first reservation on Outdoorsy, and Kevin has set the bar exceptionally high,
