We’ve rented camper vans internationally and this was by far our best experience. You’re not going to find a better option in the Willamette Valley. Plus, the owners, Martin and Tilisa, are genuinely the nicest humans. This van comes with all the extras; bed sheets, towels, camping chairs and games. The van was IMMACULATE - well cared for and sparkly clean. Martin gave us a thorough rundown of the van (as well as a picture-guide), and made sure we were well informed before setting off on our 6 day adventure.

Our experience with Wanda the Wandervan was...well....wanderful! My wife, our dog and I borrowed Wanda the Wandervan for 4 days and 3 nights on a trip to Olympic National Park in late September. Our adventure started with a great tour of the van from our hosts Bob and Ann. They showed us all the great features and ensured we were comfortable using them - and we did use them with confidence and true sense of adventure. The hosts were truely a joy to work with before, during and after the trip. We camped each of the nights in a different location so we were always on the go and Wanda totally kept pace. We were particularly thrilled with the pop-top bed - made us feel like a kids sleeping in a tree house. Wanda is very easy to drive. Even though we were in a National Park with a bunch of other vehicles, we never had any issues maneuvering or parking. We have already recommended Wanda to other family and friends in Portland. Don't hesitate - book Wanda (unless it is during a time we want to use her again....)

The RV was very comfortable, well stocked and in great condition! Terri was extremely helpful and a great communicator. We had the best time and look forward to renting with Terri again!
