Getting Outdoors
Fishing is quite popular in the Lower Prior Lake due to better quality of water. However, you will see anglers all around the water. The fish population in Prior Lake is quite impressive, and anglers might catch hybrid sunfish, black crappie, brown bullhead, bluegill, walleye, and pumpkinseed. The surface of Prior Lake freezes up during winter. Then it becomes a popular ice fishing destination for both locals and visitors. If you forgot to pack the fishing gear into your rental RV, make a stop at one of the bait shops close to the lake. Campers may purchase or rent the equipment they need during the stay at Prior Lake.

Pedro & Teresa were great hosts and made everything really easy!

Kimberly was a gracious and attentive host. Once we met to hand over the keys, she did a fantastic job going over the van's workings and covering everything I should know. I felt at ease taking off and knowing where everything was. The van itself was fantastic. It is modern and equipped with all the essentials you need for an overnight camp. We didn't feel like we needed to bring additional things along because Kimberly made sure that it truly felt like a home on wheels. Having the rear view cameras, blind spot alerting, and even Apple Car Play, I had no issues navigating the road and feeling comfortable driving it. It was truly a great experience and I would highly recommend anyone looking to rent a camper van to give this one a chance. As an added bonus, our dogs loved the road trip and being able to hop right outside into nature.

We had a wonderful time and experience with this van. The communication was great and very helpful with videos on how to use and pick and drop off was easy. I would highly recommend Bing and her vehicle! Thank you so much!
