Top Camping Trailer Rental Picks for Your Next Adventure

We know from experience that tent camping doesn’t offer the same amenities and comfort as a trailer or RV. But that’s pretty common sense. That’s why we suggest looking into a camping trailer rental when you don’t want to pitch a tent but really need some distance from the crowds.

When you want extra comfort but still want the ruggedness it takes to get into the wilderness, there are camping trailers made for almost any adventure. Whether you’re taking a few days away with your significant other or bringing the whole family, you can make a weekend or week away in a camping trailer rental just a truly outdoorsy experience.

(Pssstt…be sure to take a look at my post about trailer setup mistakes to avoid before you head out on your excursion!)

You can take a look at our top picks below, or you can just head to Outdoorsy.com on your own and search for the perfect camping trailer for your getaway dreams.

So why exactly would you consider renting a camping trailer instead of choosing a “typical” getaway? Let’s talk about that.

Why Rent a Camping Trailer?

Renting a camping trailer not only allows you to sleep comfortably but also brings more amenities and adventure to every trip. Camping trailers are made to take on rougher terrain and often have an adventurer’s taste in decor (minimal, yet efficient). This allows you to bring what you need and nothing else, avoiding the mess that comes with overpacking in large trailers for extended vacations. Trust us, we know all about that.

Here’s why we love camping trailers:

• Most are small but mighty: They offer just what you need to be comfortable after a long day of hiking or mountain biking.
• Many are off-road capable: Unlike most trailers, camping trailers can take on forest roads pretty easily compared to most other RVs and trailers who have to strap everything down and cross their fingers hoping to steer clear of washboard roads.
• They fit any adventure: Whether you want to camp solo or bring friends and family, camping trailer rentals are perfect for any adventure. Whether you’re spending most of your time at camp or getting lost in the backcountry, you can go just about anywhere with anyone without spending an arm and a leg to get there.

Alright, alright. I know you’re dying to see what camping trailer rentals we’ve found for you so here they are. There are numerous trailer rentals out there that are just as worthy, but these 6 rentals caught our eye. Let’s see why!

Top Camping Trailer Rental Picks for Your Next Adventure

Some of the best camping trailer rentals online right now are:

The Hiker Trailer

If you’re passing through Colorado or making a trip to nearby states, you’ll find that this tiny 5×8 trailer packs more in than meets the eye. In this lightweight trailer, you’ll have plenty of room to store gear inside and out. In the back, you have shelves and storage space for any clothes or gear you may need. On top, there’s a roof rack for extra gear if you’re really trying to get out and adventure.

Now let’s talk a little bit about the specs and what you need to know before you rent The Hiker:

• It only sleeps 2 people which makes for a great weekend getaway for Mom and Dad or even a couples vacation. The bed is an extra-large full-size mattress so be prepared to get cozy with one another!
• It can be easily towed by almost any vehicle. All it requires is a Class II hitch to hit the road with this trailer. You’ll also need a 4-pole light connection to connect your tail lights.
• This rig comes with a 35kWh solar battery and 50-watt solar charger to keep your devices charged and ready for a day out and about.

Here are a few more things we love about this camper trailer setup that make it worth renting:

Outdoor camping kitchen

From pots and pans to a propane stove, this camper trailer rental comes with everything you need to have a fun weekend away in the woods.

Utility box

The utility box has everything you need to stay safe on the roads in case of a flat tire or any other roadside assistance needs. The propane canister and camp stove stow away here also.

Comfy & cozy interior

Though this trailer is small, it feels roomy as the mattress can fold up to act as a couch when the bed is not needed. You’ll also have 12v and USB power to charge up your phones and other devices, too. Just like a home away from home!

It’s pet friendly 

You can bring your furry friends aboard to explore and adventure with you at no extra charge.

The Winnie Drop

The Winnie Drop is a great camping trailer rental in the Wyoming and Montana area. This 2018 Winnebago is perfect for a trip to the Tetons or Yellowstone National Park. A little bigger than The Hiker trailer listed above, this camper trailer has all the amenities you need while also allowing you to get outside and enjoy a nice dinner with family or friends. This trailer comes loaded with everything you need to make a Midwest road trip even better.

Let’s dive into the specs to get a better idea of what this camper trailer rental offers:

• This 18-foot trailer sleeps 4 people inside with two bunk beds and one dinette-to-queen-size-bed.
• A kitchen slide allows you to make food inside the trailer. An outdoor kitchen with an awning provides ample room for BBQ style hangouts, too.
• If you want power, you’ll have to find a 30amp hookup nearby to run the A/C, fridge, and TV. If you’re visiting Montana and Wyoming in the spring or fall, you may not need the A/C at all! No generator is included in this listing but feel free to bring one along.
• The dry weight of this rig is 2,800 lbs and it has a GVW (gross vehicle weight) of 3,500 lbs. This trailer is fairly light and can be pulled by most SUVs and trucks.
• To get her on the road, you’ll have access to electric trailer brakes and an equalizing hitch if you so choose. You’ll need a 7-pin trailer plug adapter to hook up the trailer to your vehicle.
