Booking this camper and with our host, John, was not my original plan. Our original plan was to tent camp on the site that we had picked at Mistletoe State Park. However, with some pending weather off in the distance, I thought this would be a smarter move for my son and I's trip. After frantically looking for the right camper that fit our budget as well as our needs, I came across this camper. The host was absolutely fantastic, answered all my questions and the camper itself was perfectly put together and had all the things that we needed. The AC was below Arctic cold :) which was fantastic. I elected to have the host set it up for me and pick it up after we left. It was leveled great, and everything was laid out perfectly. I would highly recommend this camper and this host to anyone. I never met the guy, but he seemed to me on the phone that he was just a overall good person. Five out of five stars.
