Lost Campers SLC absolutely rocked! I had one of their minivans for a five day excursion during Utah's Spike 150 celebration of the 1869 completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. The Dodge Grand Caravan (named Scottie) was the perfect tool for the job! Comfortable bed, sufficient kitchen, and it drove 1000% better than any regular rental RV ever would – which was great up on the windy plateaus of Utah and Wyoming. And the staff... goodness personified. Give these people your business if you ever need a lightweight rig for an outdoor adventure!

Had a fab week exploring Northern and Central CA in our Lost Campers van, Jules. Van was kitted out with everything we needed and no hidden fees like other hire companies. Bed was super comfy and easy to assemble. All in all, our experience was great and I couldn’t recommend them more!!

We had a great trip wandering around California. A few bits of equipment would have made a difference for us but overall we're were very happy. Great service from the staff at both Los Angeles and San Francisco. This a great way to travel in the USA. Load the Campendium app onto your phone to find the best and cheapest ways to camp. Some parks are as expensive as staying in a motel.

We have rented camper vans from Lost Campers on several occasions. What we love is that they are easy to drive mini vans that can be parked in any camping spot. They are basic, simple to use and everything you need for a camping trip for two; and the price is right 😀 Because we live close to San Francisco, we supplement with some of our own bedding and kitchen equipment, especially coffee making stuff as that isn't provided with the van. Great team at the office to deal with. We will definitely be back. Maybe next time we'll do a one way to LA and get the Coast Starlight train back.

Absolutely LOVE this company! My husband and I used their van to travel up and down the coast of California and it was amazing! So convenient, affordable and comfortable. The people who rented to us were very helpful and flexible. We were made to feel safe and accommodated while renting through them. Excited to rent again!

The people in the company were helpful and accessible. Our van was very well outfitted and the mattress was incredibly comfortable. Lost Campers added so much to our adventure in Utah. Thanks!read more

Great budget campervan! Cheapest one I found in Utah by far. I basically used it as a place to sleep rather than dealing with setting up tents and finding tent sites at night. The little sink in the back was handy for brushing my teeth but I didn’t use it more than that.read more

We took the van for 5 days and drove to Teton and Yellowstone National parks, and Antelope Island (which is a gem) driving just under 1000 miles return trip. We were really pleased about how smooth the whole Lost Camper hire and return process was, and how friendly and helpful Aspen and Drew were. The Dodge van was kitted out with everything we needed including sink, fresh water and waste containers , tables, bedding (and comfortable bed) chairs, gas cooker, crockery, etc. An added bonus was that we also picked up some essential things that previous campers had returned unused such as maps, bear spray (thankfully re-returned unused!) and laundry soap, etc. A great experience. The only thing that could be improved was information on the LC website about bringing towels. Highly recommended for people wanting an adventure..read more

Great experience with "Esther" which was our van/home/transport for our week in Utah. No problems at all with the van, or the roof top tent. Lost Campers made everything easy and gave great confidence in what we'd be depending on throughout our trip. Highly recommend!read more

We had six adults ans rented "Lila" and "Darrin" for a week in SLC and had a blast. We visited numerous state parks, national monuments, and national parks and we we're comfortable the entire trip. The beds were easy to make and comfortable. The kitchens served us well. It was comforting to know we had everything we needed with us at all times and could camp anywhere. I highly recommend this company and this way of travel.read more

Great place to rent! Super affordable and always customer friendly - both through email and in person. After renting twice, I can confirm that is the place to be for renting your RV. The vehicles are great for camping in the US, driving and sleeping is always a charm.read more

Lost Campers made our spring break trip terrific! Well, and the great California weather, ocean and beach time. I just love traveling with your housing and the ability to have an open itinerary. The bed inside the van and the Tepui tent on top were both very comfie. The set up is pretty slick, everything you need including the kitchen sink! I liked that the van was plain (not painted with crazy scenes and colors as some companies do) we could blend in easily.
The staff was very friendly, helpful and kind and seemed genuinely interested in our trip and helping us have the best time. Highly recommend!read more

I had a great 5 day adventure in my little minivan “Oliver.” I loved that the van didn’t scream out that I was a rental. It somehow seemed safer as a single woman traveling alone. The customer service was exceptional...they really laid out the landscape and gave me great advice of how to navigate vanlife. Highly recommend!read more

We absolutely loved this company! It was our first time traveling in this kind of van, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The vans are comfortable, safe, warm at night (even in the cold desert) and have great amenities. A huge plus is how discreet the vans look - great for parking in cities, with super tinted windows, not advertising that all your stuff is inside. :) We would definitely recommend this company to anyone wanting to travel with more freedom and ease around the West Coast.read more

I can't say enough about how much we LOVED our camper van experience in CA! This was THE ideal way to drive the coastal highway! The van was very well kept, comfortable, and safe! The staff in the SF office were great! Honestly ZERO bad things to say! Looking to do this in UT next!read more

Recently returned from my second Utah adventure with Lost Campers and it definitely won't be our last. I can't say enough good things about this company. Aspen and Stacia were great to work with - informative, helpful, and downright friendly. The vans are comfortable, easy to drive and well-stocked. No need to bring linens or cook sets - just a quick trip to buy food and we were on our way. Being self sufficient allowed us to get off the beaten path and enjoy amazing and free camping on BLM and Forest lands. What a treat! We will be back for sure.read more

Lost Campers came through within less than 24hrs with a more than ideal sleeping situation for both Coachella and Lightning in a Bottle. I will never festival again without their assistance! 🙌 Not to mention the most chill staff and swift + smooth return experience.
I highly recommend!read more
