Thank you for choosing the Joyful Jay for your next adventure! We’ve spruced up this camper for our own family travels with freshly re-finished cabinets, new laminate wood flooring, and a custom cherry map table. On each side is a bed that pulls out - one a double and one a twin size. The dinette folds down for additional sleep space. It's the perfect size: light enough to be safely towed by many mid-size SUVs or even a minivan yet large enough to comfortably sleep 2-3 adults (or 2 adults and 2-3 children). What I love most about this camper is how comfortable it is, while still retaining the "feel" of tent camping by virtue of the soft sides and ability to unzip windows for a 360-degree view. It's the perfect marriage of outdoor air with a soft landing. Almost anything you might need for your adventure is included! Everything from sheets, pillows, sleeping bags, an electric griddle top, basic cleaning supplies, dishes, cups, mugs, electric kettle, and french press, to twinkle lights, all ready to be put to use. Also available to rent for an additional fee are two inflatable stand-up paddle boards, two ultralight weight backpacking tents, a baby hiking carrier, and a sea kayak. Ask us if there's something you need - especially if you're flying in from elsewhere! We want to make your journey as easy and enjoyable as possible. What's included Fresh linen Electric cook-top and propane cook-top Plates, silverware, cups Basic cleaning supplies Recommendations If you’re gearing up for a road-trip, we’d be happy to provide past itineraries to help you plan! Road-trips: - Coastal Maine and Acadia National Park via Baltimore, DC, and NYC (12 hours) - Shenandoah National Park (3-5 hours) - Smoky National Park (5 hours) - Southeast coast through Charleston, Savannah, New Orleans - Grayson Highlands in VA with wild ponies Other things to note Pets considered. This camper does NOT have an air conditioner on-board but does have a heater. We do plan to add an air conditioner this summer. Reach out if you plan to book and will need one for your trip and can let you know if one will on board in time for your booking. Boondocking is permitted at campgrounds that just don’t have electric and water hook-ups and on a case-by-case basis otherwise. Ask us for details if you plan to boondock during your trip! The pick-up time defaults to 3 pm and drop-off time defaults to 11 am. We can often offer flexibility in pick-up or drop-off times, with an additional fee ahead of time in busy season, or as a complementary feature in the off-season. Our camper is non-smoking for the comfort of our renters and family with asthma. Any smoking will incur an additional $300 cleaning fee.
Mileage, generator-hour and insurance charges, and the cancellation policy, aren't in the listing data we receive; RVshare shows them before you pay.

Annadele made the entire experience perfect. Pickup and drop off were so easy. The camper had everything we needed for an enjoyable weekend. We look forward to our next trip!

Nothing but a strong recommendation for Daniel and this camper. The camper was ready when I arrived and Daniel went through all the steps for setting up and taking down. He covered all the amenities and provided everything needed except the tow vehicle. Had one issue during the rental with a breaker flipping due to me using too many appliances at one time. Reached out and Daniel quickly talked me through where the…

We keep finding excuses to rent the camper, and it never disappoints! It kept us cozy and warm on a cold winter weekend, and as always Annadele was a fantastic host. 10/10!

This was our 3rd time renting the Joyful Jay, and every time we enjoy it more! Pickup and drop off is easy, setting up the camper itself is a breeze, and it makes for an incredibly comfortable trip. Can't wait until we can rent it again!

If only all weekends could be as relaxing as this! Annadelle and Daniel have such a lovely and comfortable camper, we enjoyed every minute of this rental. Towing and setup are a breeze, communication is excellent and we look forward to renting Joyful Jay again.

Daniel was amazing to work with. He made sure I had a pickup process conducive to rainy weather. He was responsive when I needed him. The popup was the perfect size for our family and nicely set up. Would definitely rent again.
