The Great Outdoors

Thanks to the numerous railroads that once populated the landscapes of New England, there are a number of excellent rail trails open to cyclists and hikers. One of the best in the South Portland region is the Eastern Trail running between Saco and Scarborough for eight miles. The trail is unpaved but consists of packed dirt and gravel, so it’s an easy ride or walk regardless of your physical condition.

RV Parks

They don’t call Maine “Vacationland” for nothing; there are dozens of RV parks and campgrounds throughout the state, and quite a few of them are easily reachable when you get a motorhome rental in South Portland. One of the closest to town is Wassamki Springs Campground near Scarborough. Here you’ll be treated to full hookups for your RV rental from South Portland along with laundry facilities, showers, a dump station, and beautiful lakefront sites. If you’d like to stay close to Portland, this place is worth considering.

Exploring the City

No trip to Maine would be complete without visiting some of the area’s many lighthouses. While Bug Light and Spring Point Ledge are in South Portland, perhaps the most picturesque one to visit when you rent an RV in South Portland is located on Cape Elizabeth, near the border with New Hampshire. Here you’ll find Portland Head Lighthouse, the oldest operating lighthouse in Maine. It’s one of the most photographed locations in the state, gracing the face of thousands of postcards.

Tim was super helpful and the van was perfect for an Acadia getaway (and a Maine getaway in general!). I highly recommend renting from Tim!

Frank was great to work with and very helpful in explaining the in's and out's of the van when you pick up. He even offered picking up and taking to the airport after drop off. The van includes all the essentials you need for cooking and camping and even includes some inside privacy curtains for when you are inside and need extra privacy. The van is easy to drive and maneuver around towns. I would rent this van from Frank again.

Turn key! We walked into this c sped all set up, beds made, rugs rolled out and ready to drop our luggage and enjoy the outdoors. This camper has EVERYTHING you need! Plenty of room! huge dining table and seating. Leather couch for patriot game viewing on the flat screen TV provided!! This couch also is a pull out bed.
My kids loved the oversized bunks, the easy ladder, that tucked away when not using. The bathroom was perfect with the private entrance in and out of the camper so sand and dirt didn’t get tracked though the entire camper. Vanity mirror storage was perfect for 4 of us. The master bed was greet, another TV ! Plenty of clothes storage and overhead storage. Again plenty of blankets and sheets. I also have to add every cooking utensil, plates, silverware, cups, you name it. The camper had it all. I very much appreciated the trash bags, Lysol wipes, plenty of dish soap and cleaning materials. Mike was easy to communicate with and any questions we had, he was quick to answer. We prefer to bring our keurig and croc pot for camping trips and they fit perfectly on the spacious counter. The outdoor blue LED lights my kids loved. This is the THE camper to rent.
