Discover Applegate Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips

Applegate Lake lies in southern Oregon, close to the state border with California. Surrounded by the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, Applegate Lake is an oasis within picturesque woodland. This being said, it is not too far from the Oregon towns of Medford and Ashland, with the Californian town of Happy Camp also a short drive away. This man-made lake was created in 1980 by the damming of the Applegate River, it was originally built for irrigation and flood defenses but today offers exceptional recreational opportunities. These opportunities, combined with its closeness to many of Oregon's towns, create the perfect place to take an RV rental. Access to the woods and lake with a rental RV is made even easier with Interstate 5 joining the Applegate Road.

Our family of five had a great time in Cody's RV! We camped with full hookup and also dry camped for a few days. The RV was fairly easy to handle and Cody gave us a nice tutorial and was very responsive to our questions. This RV is not brand new, but it gets the job done!

We originally had another RV booked and it got cancelled two days prior to our trip.. Jonathan waa kind enough to expedite getting his ready for us to take off in time. I messaged him in a panic that we wouldn't make our family reunion. He was so nice and got us on our way with no issues. We drove OR to AZ, without problems. Bed was so comfy. RV was clean and perfect for what we needed. This made the long drive a breeze with a 14 month old. Definitely would recommend!!!
