RV rental John Boyd Thacher State Park, NY: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Conveniently located within John Boyd Thacher State Park, the Thompson's Lake Campground has a total of about 140 wooded sites. The RV Park has no electricity, which makes it awesome for trying out some old fashioned boondocking. The campground, however, has a dump station, restrooms, and a playground for kids. Situated right next to the beach, you’ll be tired of watersports by the time your getaway comes to an end. Don’t fret if you didn’t bring along a boat or kayak as both are available for rent. Otherwise, nothing beats a refreshing dip in the cool waters on a sunny day. There are a couple of ball fields in case you're the kind of person who prefers sticking to land.

Want to know the best thing about renting an RV? You’re free to go wherever you want, whenever you feel like it. With that in mind, don’t miss out on a chance of exploring Albany or even the nearby Catskill. Start your day by taking a tour of the New York State Capitol. Constructed between 1867 and 1899, the building features a couple of architectural styles, including Classical Romanesque Style for the ground floor and Victorian Romanesque style for the fourth and roof floors. Follow this up with a visit to the New York State Museum, which is a research-backed establishment devoted to exploring the natural history of the State of New York. Boasting of about 100,000 square feet of exhibition space, the museum is home to more than a million cultural objects. Even more impressive, the museum houses more than 16 million scientific specimens. Some of the permanent exhibits include The Adirondack Wilderness, the Birds of New York, and the Ancient Life of New York. Should you be a military history buff, crank up your travel trailer and head over to USS Slater. The destroyer escort historical museum is a cannon-class destroyer escort ship, which was named after Frank O. Slater. The ship was launched in 1944 and served in the U.S Navy for a while before moving over to the Greek Navy. USS Slater later made its way home in 1993 and, after a major restoration, was declared a National Historic Landmark.
