Justin did a great job! Prompt communication, had everything setup and ready for us, trailer was clean and had all the essentials we needed. Plates, cups, pots, utensils, spices, paper towels/toilet paper. Pillows were memory foam and very comfortable. I would rent from him again!

First of all, I highly recommend renting a camper and having someone set it up for you. All you have to do is show up! The owner was quick to communicate and very responsive. We found the camper no problem and had a great stay. Fitted sheets for the beds were provided, which was nice but we only found one blanket in the camper. We didn't bring our own, so we had to borrow from other campers. We also had a hard time adjusting the furnace temperature. It went from 0-32, so we weren't sure what to set it on. It was pretty trial and error but easily figured it out by the second night. There was no trash can, and we weren't at a typical campground, so we just had to throw our trash in grocery bags that we brought snacks in. The camper itself was very nice, new and clean. I would certainly rent again because you could not beat the convenience of set up and having everything ready when you arrive!
