Campervan Rental Info
The Van
Unless you are long-term travelers and living in your van, large, high-top campervans are typically more than you need. And, let’s face it— driving and parking a big rig can be daunting. As wanderers ourselves, with extensive camping, road trip and van-life experience, We have determined that the Cascade Camper best meets the needs of most short-term adventure seekers.
We think you’ll love it too!

Dream Big…Pack Light…Go Far…
A Note on Packing:
The Van has a fair amount of storage space for it’s size. That said, it is a small space and you will be most comfortable if you pack light. Ideally, you will leave your bulky luggage at home or in your car and utilize the built-in storage cubbies and crates.
Our Van is Small and simple.
Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
The perfect road trip calls for a zippy, reliable vehicle that can take you from the city to the mountains to the sea with ease.
Imagine spending your days hiking through the forest, or maybe an afternoon spent beach combing, returning in the evening to your campsite where your little van has all you need for a comfortable meal and a good nights sleep. In the morning you are up and on the road in a flash. Pull into a tight supermarket parking lot to resupply with ease. Then, on to the next adventure!
