I just finished up three nights in Shenandoah National Park in Vander's Cascade Camper Medium Van.
Justin was excellent with the logistics of picking it up and going over everything. He took his time and was very patient, friendly and organized. I have never rented a van like this and have not camped since I was a teenager, many years ago.
This van is a RAM Promaster Low Roof 118" wheelbase. It has a very comfortable sofa that sleeps one person as is, or two people pulled out, kitchen with sink and induction cooktop, two 5-gallon freshwater jugs and a 5-gallon grey jug, and very good storage. It also has a composting toilet that we extremely easy to use and empty at the end of the trip.
I had a Starlink Mini, so I was able to keep in touch with work and family, and it worked out very well.
It was a terrific experience and allowed me to really experience the park, take hikes and do photography. I highly recommend Vander Outdoors.

If you need a rental van this is DEFINITELY the place to go through!! Justin was SO informative and helpful throughout the whole process, and was extremely flexible with our drop off time at the end since we had a flight to catch and we were cutting it super close. My bestfriend and I rented the Appalachia for a music festival and it was nothing short of perfect. There was PLENTY of space for the 2 of us, the stove and toilet were the cherry on top, plus it had heat to keep us warm at night. Will absolutely be using vander again next time we come back thanks so much for everything!

We are stoked to hear that you enjoyed the Appalachia at Seven Stars! It is a really great setup for festivals, with all of the basics covered in a compact and self-contained package. We hope to see again next year for pt 2!

I had such a fantastic experience renting a sleeper van from this company! The communication was absolutely stellar — they were so patient, accommodating, and knowledgeable every step of the way. As a first-time sleeper van renter, I felt completely at ease thanks to their clear guidance and thorough walk-through of every amenity. They even worked around our hectic schedule to make sure we had the best experience possible.
The van itself was thoughtfully equipped — it truly felt like they had considered every little detail to make the trip comfortable and fun. The customer care was absolutely incredible all around. The van added so much positivity to our camping experience. I highly recommend!

Vander was an excellent choice for my family's first RV camping experience. The DMV Cruiser had everything we needed for our trip, was clean and ready to go when we picked it up, and Justin made picking up and returning the van smooth and easy. Would highly recommend Vander to anyone looking for a camper van rental and I fully intend to use them again for our next camping road trip.

We had a great time taking the van camping at the beach! It came with everything so we had to pack much less than tent camping. All went well with pickup and drop off.
Response from the owner 11 months ago
It is great to hear that your beach trip went well with Blues Traveler! We enjoy tent camping as well, but sometimes it is nice to be able to pull in and pull out without all of the setup and tear down. Hope to see you again soon!

We rented with Vander Outdoors for a trip to Shenandoah National Park and it was great! The features were handy (water access, red lighting, fans, bedding, etc.), clean, and easy to use. Justin did a great job of explaining everything in the car prior to handing it off to us. He was super communicative as well and met at us at a convenient location for pick up/drop off. Would definitely rent from this company again!

We had the honor of meeting Justin in person, and we can confidently say he is a true professional when it comes to business operations and promoting his services. It’s truly exciting to see a company on the East Coast that can meet even the highest expectations for camper van rentals. Moreover, we know firsthand that the rates are very affordable, and the units are always exceptionally clean. Highly recommended!

We reserved a Vander Nomad ("Vanpire!") for five days and four nights for a trip around Virginia, from Shenandoah and Blue Ridge to the Northern Neck. There was great communication with Justin prior to the rental and answered all of our pre-trip questions.We met Justin at the appointed time and he gave us a thorough walk-through of the vehicle and equipment. It was all very simple and direct and if ever confused there are videos you can access. Our trip was fantastic and the van was easy to drive, well-stocked with equipment needed and the platform bed was comfortable, including an internal fan and external air exchange for fresh air. Justin provided some nice amenities, such as olive oil, kitchen equipment, utensils, etc. Altogether it was a great experience and something we will do again.

We (2 adults + medium sized dog) rented a Vander Cascade campervan for an incredible 2 week roundtrip from DC to OKC in summer 2023. Justin provided so many great tips and answered all of our questions thoroughly, including good ideas for safe travel with our dog. The Cascade van was thoughtfully outfitted, and we were glad we took advantage of some additional add-ons given the length of our trip (cargo box, awning, and camping shower). This was our first experience with a camper van, and we look forward to future trips with Vander!

We loved our trip with Vander! Made exploring a breeze, and the van came loaded with everything we needed. Justin was great to work with and provided an amazing demo at the beginning. Definitely use the rooftop sleeper if you get the chance!
Reservation Process
Still not sure whether these campervans will be right for me... Can I come by and check one out in person?
You bet! In-person demonstrations cost $50 per van, which can be credited to any reservation within 12 months.
