The Great Outdoors

Since you’re already camping in Harold Parker State Forest, you might as well make the most of having such amazing nature on your RV rental doorstep. If you’ve already hiked most of the trails running through the hardwood-hemlock-white pine forest and caught more fish than you can eat, then perhaps it’s time to go biking, swimming, or maybe even to rent a canoe or kayak. When the seasons change, you can go ice skating or skiing in the wintery wonderland, and don't forget about the spring when everything comes back to life.You’ll have no problem combining a wish to be outdoors with a passion for history and culture, not when you rent an RV in Andover. Make a trip to the Crane Beach and Estate where you’ll be able to not only wander around the wildlife refuge taking in the absolutely stunning views of the beaches and marshlands but also visit the estate itself in its splendor. Another fascinating place to visit is the Dungeon Rock in Lynn, where you can enter the cave that once held a pirate and his stolen treasure captive.If your passion is for animals and wildlife rather than history (or perhaps it’s both), then hop into your rental RV and head east to the coast where you can go on a whale-watching excursion. Choose between a beautiful schooner or a quicker boat and go out on the open water to spot some finbacks, humpbacks, or even a right whale or two. Learn all about the majestic sea creatures or, if you’re so inclined, pretend that you’re a real pirate.

Exploring the Area

You could spend a whole year in Massachusetts and still not experience all the culture and history, or hear all the stories about pirates, settlers, and witches, but even if you don’t have that, you could still try, right? There’s no better place to start than Salem, which in 1692, became the location of the infamous Salem witch trials. Step into history at one of the witch museums, or visit the House of the Seven Gables - yes, you can climb the secret staircase. It can be a chilling experience, but remember that your warm and safe rental motorhome is outside waiting for you.The history doesn’t end there, and you can find all sorts of fascinating museums and historic sites in the area. Like the Pioneer Village or the Coffin House, the Essex Shipbuilding Museum, or you can go back to 1692 again - this time as a pirate. Learn all there is to know about the history of graphic arts and typesetting technology at the Museum of Printing or visit one of the many galleries to see some more contemporary art. You can also go to a concert, go shopping for souvenirs and antiques, or have the freshest seafood on one of the dinner cruises.As you can see, getting an RV rental in Andover will create memories that’ll last for a lifetime, so don’t hesitate - go book that camper rental near Harold Parker Campground right now.

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
