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.

Awesome camper and very accommodating host. The camper was clean and well kept. It comfortably slept 4 adults and 1 kid but would comfortably sleep more. It also has bike racks and a kayak rack! It hauled easily behind a smaller truck but didn't lack in size. The host was super easy going and accommodating. He took the time to make sure I knew how everything worked before driving off with it. Overall an amazing and easy experience.

Jarrett was an amazing host! He was really accommodating and very responsive to questions throughout our stay. The trailer was stocked with everything you could think of, which made camping with little kids so much easier:) The beds were also super comfortable. We are already planning our next trip with Kootenay Dream! Thanks Jarrett!
