Experience the Sites and Scenery

It is no secret to people living in the northeastern United States that upstate New York is a place of great natural beauty. The area in which Rochester now resides was once home to the Seneca Nation, a band of indigenous peoples that were stewards of the land for millennia. Rochester has hot summers and cold, snowy winters, and there is no wrong time to visit this area. Even the autumn provides you with heavenly scenery with the coming of the fall foliage every October.

City Attractions

Explore the city in your Rochester camper rental, although you could never see all the amazing things it has to offer unless you chose to move there, for the ultimate extended stay. Rochester has long been known as a cultural hub, with countless museums and cultural institutions. The Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester holds a massive collection of over 12,000 works of art, from contemporary photographs to classic antiquities. Winslow Homer and Claude Monet are just a few artists featured in the magnificent collection. The George Eastman Museum is another place to go for your fix of culture in Rochester.

We wanted to try it. This was my wife's and my first time traveling in an RV and we had a great week camping and exploring near the finger lakes. The camper van was in great shape and the host walked us thru essential operations. It was easy to drive, park and maneuver and we could easily disconnect and drive to wineries, water falls, and state parks. We learned some things such as this model wasn't for us. For example, I slept a couple nights in the pop-up tent on the roof which as very comfortable and I loved being able to look out the screen and see the harvest moon during our trip. But I'm getting too old to climb up and down a ladder a night to make my 2 to 3 trips to the head. That's nothing on the host and the renting taught us so much about what we'd want to look for in a camper van. If you're thinking about buying or renting one long-term, a short-term rental is definitely they way to go and Emily's is an excellent choice to try.
