Discover South Lake Tahoe RV rentals for memorable road trips
On U.S. Route 50 between Carson City and Reno in Nevada, and Sacramento, California, is the terrific little mountain town of South Lake Tahoe. This charming town high up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is an ideal place to rent an RV for many different reasons, no matter the season. In the summertime, the clear, shimmering Lake Tahoe is a popular destination for vacationers where the ice-cold waters welcome swimmers to cool off.

My family and had an absolute fantastic time at the lake. This is largely due to the awesome experience with the camper owners. The camper was fully equipped with all our camping needs, and they are absolutely the best people to work with. We will definitely book again!

Shelly and Robert were both communicative, accommodating and transparent before, during and after our rental. Their trailer was delivered, set up and retrieved without delay and as promised. The rental arrived fully equipped for our 3-day stay. Our needs were modest and their unit met those needs with room to spare. To be clear, our motivations for renting through Outdoorsy was to research trailer types and our own camping style prior to purchasing our own rv/trailer. Both the platform and Shelly and Robert's offerings helped my wife and I refine our conversation and search in advance of doing just that. We recommend the experience to everyone particularly if you're dealing with the quality of hosts that they represent.
