The Great Outdoors
When you first set out to check out the city in your camper rental from Peterborough, make Jackson Park one of your first stops. Located near the heart of the city, this huge expanse of green space offers an oasis where you can escape the busy downtown area. A network of trails winds its way through the park and is popular with cyclists, joggers, and those out for a relaxing morning stroll. And if you're looking to explore a little further afield, the Great Trail (also called the Trans Canada Trail) passes right through the park.

After you book an RV in Ontario, you'll need to find somewhere to park your rig during your stay. Happily, as Peterborough is a reasonably large city, there are several RV parks and campgrounds to choose from.

There are plenty of great attractions to explore in the area, but the first destination you should head for in your RV rental in Peterborough is Riverview Park & Zoo. Found just to the north of downtown, this popular attraction is home to 48 different species, including everything from two-toed sloths to wallabies. But it's not just about the animals, with this 55-acre park also home to a miniature train ride, a splash pad, and a frisbee golf course.

We had an amazing trip and it was great to be able to have "Sunny" which allowed for the flexibility to stop at many different places along the way. The trailer was exactly what we needed, especially with the kitchen in the back, this saved us a lot of money and allowed us to make all our meals on the go. Eva was very responsive and answered all our questions very quickly. The pick up and drop off was seamless and Eva was sure to take the time and explain all the details of the trail. I would definitely recommend this little trailer to anyone and Eva was a great host!! Also, the little bunkbed for our puppy was perfect!

This is SUCH A CUTE VAN! We loved it and it was a huge part of our two week holiday in Ontario. It was super clean when we received it and it’s overall really well maintained throughout the years. The look and feel of it is so charming!
It had absolutely everything we needed for camping including the chairs, head torches, lighters etc. Even ketchup and mustard for hotdogs! We honestly only needed to bring our clothes and buy some food.
The size of the van is perfect for two people and we could easily park in any normal car parking spot.
It was enough storage for our essential stuff and we had a choice of making the bed two singles or one queen bed. We chose to have two singles for a bit more easily accessible storage.
Barry and Sue were wonderful hosts and they showed us around the van in a lot of depth as it was the first time in an RV for us and answered all our questions. They kindly offered to hold onto our two huge suitcases while we were travelling so that life in a van is more spacious for us and it was a huge help. In addition to that, they offered to drop us off at the bus stop when we were leaving for the airport. So kind and helpful!
I highly recommend renting this van and I would love to come back for another holiday, please!
