Discover Appleton RV rentals for memorable road trips

Appleton is a city in and the county seat of Outagamie County. The first settlement in the area where Appleton now resides was the White Heron Inn, built in 1835 by Hippolyte Grignon. His intention was to raise his family running the inn and a trading post where he could barter with local Indians for pelts and furs. The area around his inn was settled in 1847 and incorporated as the village of Appleton in 1853. The city is home to Lawrence University (originally the Lawrence Institute) that was founded in 1847 and named after its financial backer, Amos A. Lawrence. The city was named after Lawrence's father-in-law, Samuel Appleton, who donated money to fund the construction of Appleton's first library (even though he never visited Wisconsin). Today, Appleton is a popular destination for hosting regional events such as Memorial Day and Christmas celebrations, and the Mile of Music Festival.

Went well. Couple issues. The arm rest on seats metal poking through rips. Taped up. Passenger window closer bracket came off upon opening, put back on best i could. Same with bedroom window on rear side. Fog lights did not work. Outside Water-hose was missing rubber washer so leaked. Otherwise good experience.

Scott and Megan were exceptional hosts who made our camping experience truly unforgettable! Their communication was prompt and helpful, responding quickly to all our questions before and during the trip. At pick-up, they took the time to thoroughly explain everything we needed to know about the camper, ensuring we felt confident and prepared. The camper itself was spotless and equipped with all the essentials—pots, pans, linens, bath towels, soap, camping chairs, a fire grill, and so much more—saving us valuable packing space and hassle. Thanks to their thoughtful preparation and warm hospitality, our camping trip was seamless, stress-free, and filled with joy. We can’t wait to rent from them again! Highly recommend these amazing hosts! :)
