Getting Outdoors

Encompassing a vast 23,000 acres, there is plenty of room for recreational activities when you rent a camper near Petenwell Lake. Although a small proportion of the lake’s shoreline is taken up by private property, the majority of it is home to miles of undeveloped forest that blankets the lake with a rugged charm. With fifteen boat launch ramps spread across the lake’s extensive shoreline, it is easy enough to get out and about on the waters. Those motorhome camping with their own boat can enjoy a day of kayaking, canoeing or even water skiing! Don’t forget to sail down to the very southern end of the lake to cast an eye over Petenwell Rock, which is one of the best places to see a pair of nesting bald eagles.

The Travato is in great condition and Andrew had it spotless and ready to go when we arrived. The large refrigerator and cold a/c were both appreciated. A great option for two people traveling to several different places.

This is the second time renting from Dominic.
The camper was amazing as usually! My daughter loves the bunk beds. He is fast to respond to messages and very professional during delivery/pick up. Thanks again for another great trip!
