Recent RV rental reviews in Lake Herman State Park

Ralph J.

October, 2025

This was way above my expectations for being a first time renter of a camper. Paul went out of his way to make sure I got things right and understood how to set it up. I pulled the camper over 3000 miles from South Dakota to North Carolina and back without any problems at all. I look forward to doing business with Paul and his wife again. There are not enough words to show my gratitude for all that he did for us. He made sure that I knew what I was doing to make it a very good first time clamping/glamping. For anyone renting from Paul you will not be disappointed at all. The camper was very nice and well stocked for everything we needed and very comfortable.

Had to work out some minor electrical issues, Paul was very accessible by phone to contact if needed. Paul was very explanatory when picking up the camper. When renting a camper always ask your host anything you can think of s as nd if you never operated a camper make sure your host knows this.
