Discover Nelson RV rentals for memorable road trips

Nelson, British Columbia became an overnight sensation in 1986 when actor/director Steve Martin produced the feature film Roxanne in Nelson, with the local fire hall being the primary set. Nelson is a quaint town nestled in the Selkirk Mountains on the western arm of Kootenay Lake. Nelson is commonly referred to as the Queen City and has numerous restored heritage buildings still in use from the silver rush days. While Vancouver is about seven and a half hours away by car, it's only an hour away by plane, and Nelson sits only 35 minutes from the Castlegar Airport.

Jarrett was the most accomodating host you could ever ask for. If you had not a single thing for camping, this trailer would have you set up! We needed something with power and warm water because we were getting married while camping and we were so comfortable! Highly highly recommend. We will definitely be retuen customers!

Francois was an excellent host. He is quite experienced in renting campers. Francois included many extra camping amenities without charge. We’re newbie at this camping trailer thing. He was available by text during the whole trip to answer questions. We found out that the pop up camper is not for us but we would 100% rent from Francois again. He shared with us that he rents other types of campers.

Jarrett was awesome as a host. Very attentive and accommodating. This unit is amazing. It has everything you will need from carpets for outside to chairs to kids toys and a fully equipped kitchen. We just had to bring clothes essentially. I would highly recommend this truck and this host.
