Discover Salem RV rentals for memorable road trips

Salem is a small city in Utah County, in the state of Utah, and also a suburb of Salt Lake City. It was originally settled in 1851. Early Native Americans called the area “Summer Spring” but the settlers named it “Pond Town”. It was later renamed Salem in honor of Lyman Curtis, who was the prophet Joseph Smith's bodyguard. Curtis first arrived in Salt Lake Valley in 1847 and is credited with developing water irrigation canals from Spanish Fork Canyon to several sites in the valley, including the site where Salem now resides. He also constructed a lumber yard, and for his efforts and accomplishments, the town was named after his birthplace, New Salem, Massachusetts.

The Great Outdoors

Spanish Fort Peak is a popular hiking destination, with serene valleys and forests leading up to the peak, where panoramic views look in all directions. The higher areas are quite steep, but there is the opportunity to view the wildlife that lives in the area. Be sure to pack water and food; proper hiking shoes are recommended, as loose rocks could result in twisted ankles. Park your Salem travel trailer rental nearby and all the comforts of home will be waiting for you after you are done.

RV Parks

Most of the RV resorts in the area have restrooms and showers, laundry facilities, and camp stores. The sites within each campground mostly have big rig and pull through access, and Wi-Fi. Rent a motorhome in Salem and your vehicle will be perfectly suited for Utah conditions.

Exploring The City

Salem is very much a family-oriented city, and nothing says “family” louder than miniature golf (if only other sports could learn how to make everyone look this good). Salem has a good selection of bowling alleys, another family-oriented sport. Those with kids in tow will want to check out the local fairgrounds (there are several) within a short distance of Salem; these attractions offer a blend of history and culture along with midway rides and the oh-so-important cotton candy booths. Artistic types will rejoice that Salem has an arts scene with painting and photography venues; visitors can browse the local art or pick up supplies and get their own creativity on. Shoppers will want to visit Sandy, Utah, which is a good location for window shopping, cafes and splurging on those designer clothes that are too nice to leave behind.

Very helpful video and chats prior and during the trip. I felt confident I could reach out to Christian and get an honest answer. He provided solid recommendations and I am gratedul i booked with him. I had a scare i might have been too rough with a handle but he reassurmed and really put me at ease.
The propane/stove and heater worked great and the bed was nice. He even added in camping chairs which is a noce plus when you want to keep the van warm but sit outside and stare at the milky way!
Would definitely book again. He has unlimited miles per day, which is more rare and you will grow to love the van as much as he does!
Best,
Samantha
