Absolutely fantastic! Our motor home broke down on the way to Tryon and could not be fixed in time to get to event. The had camper set up and waiting us when we arrived!! Great communication. Spotless and had everything we needed! Thank you! 😊

This was our first time ever renting an RV and Mike was the best! We packed everything needed for a camping trip but really didn’t need any of it. The trailer is fully provisioned plus some. Our site had no hookups. The solar powered the equipment during the day but the juice was gone come night. This is not a negative but you might consider a generator if you are boondocking and expect all equipment to work 24/7. We will rent from Mike again next year for our annual event!

We rented Steven’s RV for the weekend through Outdoorsy and had a great experience from start to finish. Steven was easy to communicate with, responsive, and made the whole process smooth and straightforward.
