Recent RV rental reviews in Minnewaska State Park Preserve

Richard M.

September, 2025

Nick and Carol were fantastic from start to finish. They proactively contacted and coordinated with the campsite owners ahead of time, so when we arrived the RV was already site-ready—zero hassle and set-up was a breeze. Communication was timely and friendly. The RV itself was spotless, comfortable, and very nice—exactly as described (actually better). If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Highly recommend renting from Nick and Carol!
