Do you deliver anywhere in New England?
No, not just anywhere. I prefer to setup only at approved campground sites and do not allow the camper to be moved once setup. There are some places I will consider such as fairgrounds, some festivals, and other events. My preferred distance of travel is within 69 miles of Milford, NH which keeps my travel time under 2 hours one-way and the cost you pay for delivery to a minimum. Trips beyond my preferred distance may still be available and can be quoted on a case-by-case basis. About the furthest I will typically go is North Conway, NH or North Waterford, ME.
See this list of my favorite campgrounds.
What are your rates and fees?
For the 2026 season these are my base rental rates:
2018 32' Coachmen $135/night or $850.50/week
2022 25' Coachmen $125/night or $787.50/week
The delivery/setup fee for the entire booking is based on one-way mileage from Milford, NH at $2.10/mi, with a minimum fee of $150. Some bookings may conflict with other bookings' delivery or pickup times, and to accommodate this there may be an additional cost added to the delivery fee.
Bookings over holidays are 5% more than the base rental rate. Return renters get a 5% discount.
If your campsite is not a full hookup site and does not include septic, I charge a $40 dumping fee.
I have a truck, can I tow your camper instead of paying for delivery?
For safety and insurance reasons, no. Even if you’ve been towing big rigs all your life and have the most powerful, coolest truck ever, no.
What time is checkin and checkout?
It depends on the campground, but most don’t allow checking in before 2pm and checkout is usually 11am. I will work with you to establish a convenient checkout time for the camper but I typically need about 1 hour to break down the camper. I ask you please have the camper cleaned out and all personal belongings out of the camper by the contract checkout time.
Do you allow pets?
Yes! I do not allow cats mainly because I have one and I know that cats can be a$$holes. But dogs are awesome and more than welcome as long as you take responsibility for them and any damages they do (chewing, ripping, tearing screens, stains, smells, over cooking bacon).
Check with campgrounds before bringing your dog to make sure you have all documents needed. Pets can cause damage to furniture, flooring, doors, and windows. Only the pet owner knows how their pet will behave unattended so I suggest you minimize the time you leave your pet in the camper while you are not there. Crates are a good way of ensuring that your pet doesn’t get into trouble and can be setup inside the camper.
Any stains, smells, rips, tears, or other damage done by your pet is the renter’s responsibility. I may charge up to a $250 cleaning fee if there is a difficult-to-clean mess, odors from pets or humans, or glitter left behind in the camper.
What do you supply?
I try to supply enough of these items that would support 4 people.
- kitchenware (cups, mugs, plates, utensils, pots, skillets)
- single brew coffee maker (grounds/k-pods) & k-pods
- toilet paper
- paper towels
- sponges and cleaning supplies
- grill w/propane
- smores stuff
For an extra fee:
- kayaks
- easy-up
- generator
What should I bring?
- bedding (pillows, sheets, blankets, sleeping bags)
- towels
- toiletries
- food and beverages to stock the fridge
Both campers have an indoor fridge/freezer as well as an outdoor fridge, so there is plenty of room to keep food and drinks cold.
Both campers have a queen sized main bed and then bunks which are approx double sized. I recommend bringing sleeping bags/blankets to sleep on.
What should I do before I check out?
On the last day of your stay please do the following before checkout. Also remember I need time to break down the camper and get it off the site before the campground checkout time. So doing these things before I arrive is key.
- remove all your personal belongings and double check cabinets and bins to make sure you're not forgetting something
- remove all food and items from the fridge and pantry (unopened beers or leftover rum is acceptable)
- please make sure all dishes, cups, pots, silverware that were used are clean, dried, and put away where you found them
- if you used the grill make sure the surface is cleaned. The Blackstone is best cleaned by heating it up and pouring some water on the surface to push the grease in the tray. Then wipe down with clean paper towel
- pease sweep the floors to clean up all dirt, sand, leaves, and fur. Vacuum if you brought a fuzzy creature with you. Vacuum can be found under the dinette bench.
- wipe down the counter tops and surfaces in the bathroom using the all purpose cleaner and/or Lysol wipes
- make sure the the roof vents are fully closed! If left open and rain enters before pickup you will be charged an extra cleaning fee
Broom, paper towels, general purpose cleaner, and Clorox wipes can be found in the campers for cleaning up. If there are any pet messes PLEASE clean it and let me know as stain and odor remover applied quickly enough can prevent damage and help avoid an additional cleaning fee.
The campers have NEVER been smoked in. If I detect a smoke odor in the camper you will be charged a minimum $500 cleaning fee. Cushions, mattresses, and other upholstery may also need to be replaced which the renter would also be liable for the cost of replacement.
And no GLITTER!
Can I rent your campers on Outdoorsy?
Yes. I’ve been on Outdoorsy since 2019 and rent to many people through there still. But I’m weird and like to save you and me money. You’ll save on average 20% going direct through me instead of using the 3rd party platforms because they charge service fees and insurance which you don’t need. You can find the listings for my campers here:
How do we book a trip directly with you?
Send me a request with the dates you want to go and where and some details such as the type of site and which camper. I’ll send you a quote/rental contract by email. I request $50 as a non-refundable deposit to hold the booking. Sending the deposit is acceptance of the rental contact/agreement. Payments by Venmo (@shanehooker653) or PayPal (@shanehooker1) are preferred or by personal check. I request you pay 50% of the balance at least 2 weeks prior to your rental start in order to keep the booking. The full remaining balance is due prior to delivery.
Do you book the camp site too?
Typically I don’t. Most of my renters already have their camp site at the campground secured. But if you are flexible and would like me to book a site based on dates and my recommendation I’m happy to do it for you. I would just add the cost of the site based on the campground fees onto your bill.
What is your cancellation policy?
You can cancel for any reason 14 days or more before your rental start and receive 100% of the amount you have paid, less the non-refundable $50 deposit. After that it depends on the time of cancellation.
| Time Period | Refund |
|---|---|
| $50 non-refundable deposit | $0 |
| 14 days or more before rental start | 100% amount paid (less non-refundable deposit) |
| 7-13 days before rental start | 50% amount paid (less non-refundable deposit) |
| 0-6 days before rental start | 25% amount paid (less non-refundable deposit) |
Should you decide to leave your stay early for non-emergency related reasons I cannot refund you for the days not used.
What happens if something isn’t working while I’m camping?
You can just text or call me anytime and I’ll walk you through it. But the awesome thing about campers is that they are pretty friendly and helpful people. If it’s something simple and you’re just not familiar odds are there is someone camping right near you who would be happy to help.
What places would you recommend camping at?
There are a lot of great places right nearby Milford, NH but here is a list of some of my favorite campgrounds
Why do you hate glitter?
I don’t hate glitter, I just question the intentions of anyone who brings glitter with them on a camping trip and lets their pre-K kids do arts and crafts inside a camper on a rainy day. Glitter…gets…everywhere…forever!
Are you sure you don't hate glitter?
If I find any glitter I will hunt you down!
