Marlene trip to California

Aloha Nick and Emma,

Thank you for your email and for the discount!
I will definitely travel with you again if I come back to the "City by the Bay"! And I will tell my friends about you if they have the chance to go to California.

Traveling with Mr Blue was fantastic.
I got a clean van and I had no engine trouble at all, so keep on maintaining your vehicules like this, there's nothing to complain about.
I really appreciated the fact that there's no signs on the van, it's discreet, it's perfect. The dark tinted windows are great!! And the matress was amazingly comfortable!
I also think that all the equipment for hire available is very complete. (My GPS navigator was more than helpful!!)
The fact that you don't charge a underage driver fee is a huge difference compared to other car rentals!!! Your rates are very interesting and with all the equipment you offer, that probably makes you the best deal!


Here are some photos of Mr Blue and me!

I really enjoyed a lot of places in California, but if I would have to classify them, I'd say that L.A is at the bottom of the scale, and Yosemite National Park, Big Sur and Lake Tahoe on the very top!! (of course, I prefer the Nature...)

Thanks again for this wonderful time!


Cheers

Marylène

Leanne and Bruce's version of our awning in the beautiful Redwoods

Campground advice from one of our fantastic renters

Hi Lost Campers and Potential Lost Campers....isn't it time for you to Get Lost and explore this wonderful part of the world? We are offering really awesome rates over the winter months...check out our website for more details! The days have just been glorious and the nights a little cool, but nothing that a fluffy blanket and cosy van can't fix. We hope to see you soon.

Check out these notes that Leanne and Bruce from Hawaii just sent us. Great campground advice if you are travelling north of San Francisco:


Aloha
We really enjoyed using your services. Not just the camper but the no
hassle, easy vibe, and the outfitting of the camper. We only wish we could
find this sort of thing everywhere we go. I don't see us coming into the bay
area for several years but who knows?
The picture of the awning set up incorrectly is in Van Duzen County park. We
set this up for the 1st time, in the dark in the rain in 15 minutes. The one
at Sunset is at Gold Beach in Prairie Creek redwoods. We found the awning
useful as a laundry line for under garments that need to be washed on a long
trip.
The only real worthwhile info I can give is alternatives to the State Park
system in the North Redwoods. With charges of $35+ @ night we looked
elsewhere and were pleasantly surprised.
In the Humboldt Redwood area we found a decent RV park with camp spots on
the river. It has laundry, showers and is very secure and private (not like
an RV parking lot). It is the only place in Myers flat, turn left after the
store. $25 @ night
Our favorite place is Van Duzen County park, 12 miles east on Hwy 36 from
101 at Fortuna. It is on the Van Duzen river west of Grizzly State Park. and
not on any map we could find. It has a very pristine setting in massive
redwoods. This park is much wilder and primitive than it's State park
neighbors yet has a host and is safe. We changed our plans and spent 4
nights there. We found 3 days worth of hiking there and at the nearby
Grizzly State park. (They filmed the Ewoks segment of Star Wars at the
Chatham grove there). $15 @ night
There is an RV/camping park in Klamath called camp Klamath, above Prairie
Creek that was the best of what is in Klamath. It has more private sites,
and is on the Klamath beach road past the Flint ridge trail cut off.
Continue on the dirt road after the pavement ends. $25 @ night
Another County park on 101 North of Patrick's Point is Big lagoon County
park. This was on the map and has great walking on the spit. We found our
best Agate of the trip there. They have Ocean front sites, a host and nice
wash rooms. $15 @ night.
Outside of Crescent city, 5 miles from Jedediah Smith Redwoods on 101 at Elk
Crossing is the Florence Keller County Park. Another gem with huge redwoods,
very private. Located in a residential neighborhood, although you would
never know it. There are a lot of little trails developed throughout the
forest, a very quaint environment. Campground host and safe. $15 @ night
Not to be missed is Gold Beach Bluffs State campground. 7 miles of dirt road
from Prairie creek with great trail access to the redwoods, oceanfront
camping and beach rock hunting.
Cheers!
Leanne and Bruce

The fog has cleared and just in time.

WINTER SPECIAL!
We've gone mad Winter Special!
Rentals in Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb, start from $29.99 per day, plus tax.
Weather is fantastic on the west coast in these months!
(Excludes certain holidays. Book and deposit now for these amazing rates.)

Pretty much says it all.

We are right in the thick of summer and Burning Man is right around the corner.

It has been a wild ride for Lost Campers. We have dozens of renters come and go and all have reported that Calfiornia is quite clearly the best travel destination in the U.S.A. But the extra bold have reported that Utah and Montana are up there as well. Did I mention Canada too?

Okay the West Coast is where its at. Here is a photo of one of our happy customers. We have no idea where he is however we do know he was on the road for three weeks and he went everywhere. Does that help?

Get travelling,

Nick
