RV rental Mantua, UT: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

There are two RV parks in town: the Little Valley Country Store and RV Park by the reservoir, and the Box Elder Campground on the outskirts of town. The former has numerous full hookup sites, restrooms, and showers while the latter provides drinking water and flush toilets. The Box Elder Creek flows through the forested campground, which also has trails nearby ideal for hiking. Time your visit in summer when the fields burst into bright red as large poppies bloom. Leaving town, your other camping option is in Brigham City where Golden Spike RV Park has several dozen full hookup sites, restrooms, and showers. If your RV trailer rental from Mantua doesn’t need to connect to anything, consider spending a night or two at a Walmart parking lot in Perry five miles out of town. Get the store manager’s approval, and you can have a convenient parking space in a pinch.

Rent a motorhome in Mantua and experience the town’s sights and sounds during the Little Valley Days' celebration in summer. Each year, activities vary, but invariably revolve around the Mantua Reservoir, whether it's a fishing derby, a kayak race, or fireworks over the lake. Join a historical tour, catch a car show, or watch a lighted boat parade during this multi-day event. Gas, groceries, and “gourmet grub” (luscious burgers, sandwiches, and fries) are available at the Little Valley Country Store and RV Park, but to be sure, make a fuel or grocery stop at one of the several gas stations and convenience stores in Brigham City. It also has American, Mexican, and Asian fusion culinary offerings, so it’s worth the short drive. You don’t need to rough it here as there’s also a fine dining place, as well as several fast food joints, to go to. One hundred fifty years of Box Elder County's history is on display at Brigham City Museum of Art and History. The museum also houses a growing art collection of works by Utah artists like colorist David Howell Rosenbaum, painter and art professor Florence Ware, and landscape painter Russell Case. Every year, the museum also showcases one or two national traveling exhibitions, which are almost always hands-on and child-friendly. Relive railroad history and take your travel trailer rental from Mantua to the Golden Spike National Historical Park. The park marks the location where the steam locomotives Jupiter (of the Central Pacific Railroad) and No. 119 (of the Union Pacific) met on May 10, 1869, to complete the United States’ first transcontinental railroad. Witness volunteers reenact the “Driving of the Last Spike” in the summer (usually Saturdays) and even take part in this historic event, as audience members are sometimes recruited to join in. Mantua’s flax didn’t prove suitable for clothing, and the town’s "raison d'être" should have vanished in Utah’s crisp mountain air. But it didn’t. Book an RV rental in Mantua today and see why this tiny village in a mountain valley has existed far longer than originally planned. (Hint: It wasn’t called a “beautiful gown” for nothing.)
