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!

The Happier Camper was just what we needed for a last minute change. The owners were super easy to work with and even brought over a portable heater after a slight mix up. For a mom and two kids, it was a hassle free horse show thanks to the Happier Camper and family.
