Recent RV rental reviews in Fort Snelling State Park

This was the perfect vehicle for our family trip. The tent was so simple to put up and take down that my teenage kid could do it while I set up / cleaned up our campsite. Very cozy on the inside. We had some very strong wind on our trip and the tent held up fantastically. I drove almost 5,000 miles in 10 days. The seats in the car were very comfortable for this trip. I'm glad we rented this car as it handled nicely on the mountains and smaller roads we travelled vs. a large sleeper van or SUV. We could not have asked more from these hosts. They were both very communicative and responded to any questions / requests we had immediately. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the hosts of this rental. We will be renting again from them in the future. Thank you!

The camper was amazing and my grandsons were over the moon about it. Morgan was an excellent host and communicator which made the experience absolutely no hassle for us. I would rent from him again and strongly recommend renting the camper. Thank you Morgan!!
