Great experience using van to camp in state parks in California. Relatively easy to set up the bed in the backset and surprisingly comfortable. Would recommend the van with a sink in the trunk. It was a game-changer in being able to make some meals and clean up dishes/cutlery and washing hands.

I absolutely love this company! I've hired vans on two separate occasions, once for Burning Man and once for a Yosemite trip. The vans are good and we had no issues, value is amazing and the owner is super friendly and helpful! I got stuck at their offices when my uber didn't show up and I was going to miss my flight but the owner drove me to the airport for free!! what a guy

Wir hatten eine wunderschönen Urlaub in den USA mit unserem Camper Harold. Die Organisation mit Lost Campers lief problemlos, schnell und freundlich ab. Trotz einem Fehler meinerseits bei der Buchung konnte das Datum nachträglich angepasst und auf das richtige Datum umgebucht werden. Vielen Dank dafür ❤️.Der Camper war perfekt für unseren Roadtrip. Wir konnten damit sowohl durch die Stadt fahren, (Achtung mit Dachzelt passt er eventuell nicht in jede Tiefgarage!) als auch damit auf den Campingplätzen stehen. Das Bett im hinteren Teil des Autos auch für meine Begleitung (1,88m) ausreichend lang, sehr gemütlich und schnell aufgebaut. So waren wir schnell abfahrtbereit und auch auf den Campingplätzen schnell wieder mobil. Das Dachzelt dauert etwas länger im Aufbau. Dafür hat man dort noch mehr Platz und es schläft sich sehr angenehm vor allem wenn es draußen wärmer ist, da besser gelüftet werden kann.Ich würde die Camper für 2 Personen empfehlen da es sonst auch mit Gepäck eng wird. Aber Schlafplätze für bis zu 4 Personen sind mit Dachzelt kein Problem.Die Küchenzeile im Kofferraum bietet alles was man so braucht. Der Propanherd war einfach zu benutzen und das Geschirr, Pfannen und Co ausreichend. Lediglich der Kühlschrank war für uns sehr schwer zu bedienen. Wir haben auch nach 1 Monat nicht heraus gefunden wie genau er funktioniert. Eventuell kaputt?Das Waschbecken verfügt über einen 5 Gallon Frisch und einen 5 Gallon Abwassertank. Der Wasserhahn war aber sehr unpraktisch zu bedienen so das wir den Frischwassertank nicht wirklich genutzt haben. Als Möglichkeit zum Zähne putzen, Hände waschen oder Geschirr spülen war das Waschbecken aber super wenn man eine zweite Person zur Hilfe hat die mit dem Frischwasser behilflich ist.Unterwegs ging der Motor des Fahrerfensters kaputt worauf hin es sich nichtmehr schließen ließ. Die Werkstatt, die uns dabei halfen das Fenster provisorisch zu schließen, benötigte leider 6h unserer Zeit. Sehr schade aber kann passieren. Die Werkstattkosten haben wir anschließend wieder zurückerstattet bekommen. Die Kommunikation per Telefon mit Lost Campers gut funktioniert. Unser Camper (Harold) war sonst in einem guten Allgemeinzustand. Man sollte aber gerade bei Fahrten in heißen Gebieten darauf achten, dass der Motor nicht zu heiß wird.Fazit:Wir würden sofort wieder mit Lost Campers buchen. Es lief unkompliziert und einfach ab. Das Auto war toll und einfach perfekt für den Roadtrip. Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub und werden Harold vermissen.

Highly recommended!We had a wonderful time with the Moab Dodge Caravan from Lost Campers. Everything was perfect and straightforward. Pick up and drop off was easy, the van was clean and just perfect the way it is built. It had everything you need for a camping trip. Even the mattress was very comfortable for a good night's sleep. The communication was great and very friendly. All in all highly recommended! We will be happy to "get lost" again 🙂

Nous avons eu un excellent service de l’équipe et ce tout au long de notre voyage. Ils ont été là et rassurants. Nous avions la caravane avec glacière électrique , lavabo et cuisinière. Tout est fourni. Cela a rendu notre expérience facile et agréable. Le matelas est confortable, la caravane possède des moustiquaires pour les fenêtres et des rideaux. J’ai fait plusieurs voyage de ce style et Lost Camper est une très belle compagnie. N’oubliez pas de vous ouvrir un compte FastTrask car le véhicule n’en possède pas et il n’y a personne sur les autoroutes ou ponts payants afin de payer cash. Il n’y a aucune façon de payer par la suite tant que nous n’avons pas l’avis et pour chaque avis reçu par Lost camper, ceux-ci demandent 25$.

We had a great time road tripping with "Barry" who didn't fail us once during our 12 day streak around California, good lad!It took us a night or two to figure out a system to get the curtains to be of much use...but nobody goes road tripping for a sleep in do they! The bed itself was super comfie and the convenience of the cooler was great....just remember to plug it in before heading to the grocery shop!We had flown in from the UK and spent a few days in San Fran getting over jet lag etc so the online contract signing the night before we were due to pick up to aid a contactless pick up was a bit of a surprise and thankfully we had access to the internet.To come away from the trip and immediately be thinking about our next van life destination is a pretty good barometer of how it went i'd say.

The camper was reliable, clean and came equipped with everything we needed when staying at campsites but was compact and comfortable so it did equally well on long drives and when visiting cities. We particularly loved that everything was included in the price (no hidden fees) and that the camper didn’t have branding all over it.The camper was easy to drive, there was plenty of storage, Lost Campers helped us out with multiple car seats and GPS and converting the camper for sleeping was simple with the help of the provided instructions.Lost Campers were so good to deal with! I asked a bazillion questions before booking and each was answered quickly and with friendly, personalised responses. Pick up and drop off instructions, instructional videos, and a helpful guide in the the car itself were incredibly thorough and provided all the help we needed. The team even went above and beyond when my son left his iPad in the car, organising to send it to us! What a difference dealing with a family run business makes!I would definitely recommend Lost Campers if you are looking for a well priced, reliable camper complete with everything you need and exceptional service!

Rented a campervan a while back. Amazing service, very reasonable rates, car, mattress and tent were clean and well kept. Very efficient pick up and drop off arrangements. Very recommmended.

Staff on site was friendly and helpful, the van was perfect for our trip and was comfortable to drive and sleep in. Everything supplied was excellent and there was an included instructional binder that answered every question we had. 10/10 would recommend and would easily decide to rent from again. They made our Coachella experience not only possible, but comfortable and affordable.

We had the most amazing weekend with our van! Drove from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon in the Moab series and made some of the best memories on this trip.We did a ton of research on different rental companies and Lost Campers had them all beat. So affordable and even allowed us to bring our doggo! Two adults and one Labrador Retriever in a van was a little tight, but we loved every second of it!I was nervous to do something like this during a pandemic, but upon arrival, the van was very clean and the lot worked perfect for a social distancing situation. Got our key from the lock box and Byron came downstairs to greet us (wearing a mask which I appreciated). He gave us some tips for the van and was very personable. Very accommodating with blankets and snow chains. After hours drop off was simple and easy too!If you plan accordingly and follow their rules, then you'll have a wonderful time. So glad we got to support this small business.We are already thinking about our next trip! Thank you to your incredible staff!

We had a lovely time travelling California in the van. It kept us warm even in the early November weather. The sleeping set up was basic but comfortable and worked well for us for a two week trip. The van itself took us right round the state with no issues or difficulties. Definitely recommended!

We rented a van for 8 days. Great price/quality. Everything is written down to help you prepare. Easy to drive the Sierra model. They are easy to reach by mail and respond quickly. Just what we needed.Don't forget to check the tolls modalities in the Bay area before you leave to avoid surprises, and do get a propane bottle as soon as you get your van. 🙂

Great value and very responsive staff that answered all my dumb questions without hesitation. Van was super clean and complete with loads of instructions that came in super helpful, especially when off the grid and no ability to google anything, having the booklet was priceless. Cooler (which runs on a separate battery) kept all our perishables just right and allowed for us to cook great meals in the middle of now where. Cant wait to use Lost Campers again and highly recommend for all fellow travelers.

Have rented from them twice, and have had friends rent from them. Always great prices, vans are in great condition, prompt communication from team. Honestly I'm a little confused how they do so well while being so competitive price-wise lol.Highly recommended

Second time renting a camper van, good experience again. Staff was very responsive while on our journey via email and they're available by phone. Van's are equipped w/camping essentials (besides canopy and pop-up shower) and bed was comfortable. Accidentally left some of my belongings in the van upon return but was able to seamlessly retrieve it! Definite recommended and best rental rate!

6 star review! 5 stars isn't enough for Lost Campers. I've been a loyal customer since 2020 and typically rent vans 3-5 times a year for all my California excursions. Here's why:1. Customer service is unrivaled. From the pickup experience, roadside support, dropoff and billing, you are working with real people who want you to have the best vacation. No bots, no unanswered calls, no corporate tricks. You can make special requests and they will do everything to meet your needs.2. Your van is the perfect hotel. The interior modifications of an LC van turn a routine minivan into posh living on the road. There's a fully functioning kitchen in the rear with running water, a refrigerator, a chopping counter and a two-top stove! The bedding is super comfortable and you can sleep anywhere!3. You are not driving a giant billboard. There is no exterior branding with Lost Campers. I cringe when I see families driving through National Parks with a giant logo slapped to their rental. You've already paid, why do you also have to pay for another company's advertising?4. No engine issues. I've driven tens of thousands of miles in LC vans in 3 years in every type of weather and never once had a breakdown. LC maintains their fleet of vans like it was their own daily driver.5. Affordability. The price of an LC van rental is not only less than a bad sedan from Hertz but your housing is already included. Never rent a hotel room again.6. Huge Storage. I have NEVER been short on space on a trip. The secret compartment under the bed is so spacious for all your equipment and supplies.If you've made it this far to the end of the review I don't know what else I can say in praise of Nick and his team at Lost Campers. I don't want my vacations to be profit centers for mega corporations. I want my road trips across California to be about my experiences of Yosemite and Death Valley and Big Sur and all the incredible natural wonders out here. With Lost Campers vans I can sleep by rivers, make morning coffee in a Redwood forest, star gaze all night, and blast my favorite playlists on the highway. I'm certain this is what Lost Campers wants too!

Car was ready as planned. Very easy to deal with the company. The cars (I have rented twice) are very well maintained...good brakes, good engine, etc, even if a few small dents that are easy to overlook. Highly recommend these camper vans!

La atencion por parte del personal rapida y eficaz via email. La retirada y entrega del vehiculo con los codigos y las indicaciones muy facil y todo contactless. Sin duda la recomendamos ! Calidad precio perfecta. Gracias por hacer nuestro roadtrip perfecto!

I rented the Sierra Hotel for a week road-trip from LA to San Francisco. The price for the van is the cheapest you will find in LA, and the van was in really good shape. The van was equipped with everything we needed (small kitchen, camper stove, full water tank). Pickup and drop off were easy as both were contactless and directions were easy to follow. Reserving was easy, and the staff were really flexible to last minute changes to the booking.For the staff of Lost Campers, the only recommendation I have would be to create an infographic or more clear step by steps for the process of booking the van. The directions were really text heavy, and we had no problems following them, but I think it would have made the experience better as I was really afraid the whole time we were going to miss something important.

Wir waren sehr lange mit einem Lost Campers Van mit Dachzelt unterwegs und waren sehr glücklich. Das Dachzelt war etwas alt und mühsam, aber wir hatten nie ein Problem mit dem Auto und das wichtigste: der Service war ausserordentlich. Der Preis war sehr fair und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt bei den freundlichen Leuten, alles klappte easy. Danke für alles!

Great value for money! We had a wonderful 8 night trip across 3 California National Parks in our Van. Would definitely use them again.

We rented this van over a time period of 3,5 weeks. The booking, signing of the documents and pickup was very easy and fast. The campervan ran without any problems throughout our trip (about 3000 miles). Would recommend this small company to anyone in doubt 🙂

We rented a van named Matty Matt for 10 days and drove though California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada to see some national parks. This van made the trip so much easier, to have your home with you as you travel was super convenient. It was more spacious than we expected and the bed was comfortable for the most part. The fridge and dual battery were very convenient and we had everything we needed for our trip which prevented us from having to buy stuff that we couldn't transport back with us as we flew into LA. The bedding smelled fresh and clean and there was ample storage.Here are some of the cons. The pillows were super thin and after a few days they really bothered my neck. Not sure if all the pillows are this way, but consider bringing a pillow you know is comfortable if you have neck problems like me. The fridge kept coming unplugged. This wasn't too much of an issue for the food we had because some of the places we stayed in were cold and we'd catch it before it got to warm in the cooler. The AC did work, but if we were sitting idle, it would not blow cold. It only seemed to blow cold as we were driving.Overall, I would definitely recommend Lost Campers and use it again if I ever go on a trip like this again. I also appreciate how they worked with me with pickup as I had missed a flight and arrived hours later than expected and we had some difficulties figuring out how to sign all of the documents. Pick up and drop off after hours was easy.

Une agence de location de vans un peu excentrée à Los Angeles, mais la qualité mérite le trajet. L'équipe est à l'écoute, réactive et très comprehensive. Les vans sont bien équipés, discrets et tiennent les nombreux km parcourus. On y a dormi comme des bébés. Nous avons vécu l'un des plus beaux roadtrips de notre vie et c'est notamment grâce à notre super van.(Location juillet/août 2022)

Had an awesome experience thanks to Lost Campers! Rented the van for 14 days and traveled almost 4000 miles in over 7 different states and 8 national parks. The car is very spacious and the beds are way more comfy that what we expected so it was easy to sleep in it with a friend and still have enough personal space. Since the car looks just like a regular car it's really easy to park up anywhere and camp there.Lots of storage space under the bed compartment for canned food etc. The water jerrycans can easily be removed so it makes the changing of water really accessible as well. For such a budget-friendly camper van we also really appreciated the included chairs, tables, gas stove and tableware.The car is a bit old so you might need additional stuff like a jack cable to plug in some music (the cable sometimes need adjusting to avoid getting disconnected) and adapters to charge phones in the lighter plug but the car ran very well and was more than enough for a roadtrip. The staff was also super friendly and helpful when we needed anything! Thank you again for everything and looking forward to travel with your camper vans again!

Great experience! My wife and I made a 3700 mile roadtrip through CA, UT, AZ, NV, in 25 days, starting in SF, and visited about 10 National Parks. The campervan had only minor problems (connection of cooler wasn´t always OK, and some small issues that had to do with our pour knowledge of US cars). Lost Campers helped us all right. The campervan is a bit old and a bit thursty, but in our opinion still very good. We bought some additional campingstuff (Walmart) and a small tent ($30). Most nights we slept in this tent, using the perfect bedding from the van. We recommend Lost Campers!

I usually don't write reviews but this is a great place to rent from. Highly recommend the version with the cooler, has to be topped up with ice every one in a while but works well.No issues with the vehicle itself, they are well maintained despite their battle scars.I personally wouldn't rent the dodge caravan version if you are more than 2 people as it will be pretty tight, but your mileage may vary.

Solo female traveler - couldn't have asked for a better experience. Yes it's budget but it's functional, drives well and the essentials were all there for a comfortable trip. It worked perfectly because it really doesn't look like a camper so I felt super safe to park up anywhere. Wonderful fast communication with the office too and clear instructions. Definitely will use again when I come back to the states. Thank you!

I can definitely recommend Lost Campers for your Trip! We had a super pleasant experience with the team, their service was just lovely! The camper itself was also great too, we felt safe doing thousands of miles with the car, and the bed was super cozy. We had an all-round great time, and if we ever do a trip with a camper again we will definitely go back to Lost Campers!
Katharina Brinkmann
1687269380
definitely recommend this one! everything went smoothly and all of the guys were so friendly! even after we had some problems with our first car, they directly switched cars and we got another one which was even better! the service was super nice and we had one of the best months of our lifes in that lovely van. If we ever come back to LA, its already clear to rent there again. Also the spontaneous shuttle to the airport was the icing on the cake and proved once again how good this company and people are! 🙂

We hired a camper for 17 days for our USA trip. The van was a great setup and had everything we needed. Also at a great price. The staff at Lost Campers were very responsive and great to deal with. We would defiantly hire though lost for our next USA trip!

Thank you Lost Campers, we had the perfect vacation! We flew from Indiana to the Los Angeles Airport, took a very short Uber to Lost Campers to pick up our van and then drove down the scenic Coast Hwy to the San Clemente State Beach campgrounds to car camp. We stopped at Trader Joes and picked up fresh stir fry veggies along with a stir fry shrimp package, hot cocoa, and other food items for easy delicious meals. The van was equipped with everything else we needed. I was so happy to find a marshmallow skewer to use to toast my bread for avocado toast. The campgrounds were clean and safe. Don't miss this opportunity to visit America's most beautiful beaches with the luxury of a thoughtfully prepared van to travel in, sleep in, and an outdoor kitchen to cook with. I rented a surf board from Stewarts Surfboards for $25 and a wetsuit for $10 for half a day. What a deal!!Nick quickly answered my emails with every question I had. We will definitely be back. Thank you again!

We had a great experience with Lost Campers. The van was clean, with no mechanical issues. The bed and bedding were warm and comfortable. It came with the basics of we needed for a week of cooking at the campground. After booking, I had to reach out to change our days/times and they were very easy to work with and replied promptly. It is a great value for a great price! I hope to rent from Lost Campers again!

A very good option for the rental of unassuming confy little van. Bella, dodge caravan, was our car for 10 weeks and it was no new and flashy, but functional and comfortable. We took extra sleeping bags and it was plenty warm during the winter. Sink, stove and the table with some dishes and cutlery was a nice addition. For minimalistic two people it was a week balanced option. Good communication with the company, would recommend and will probably use in the future as well!

I cannot say enough good things about this company and the people who run it! We picked up our van, "Beefy", from the San Fransisco location and headed south. I saw some of the most beautiful night skies of my life in the rooftop tent and cooked breakfast next to the sea.After 9 days of traveling, we had to drop the van off the night before a 7am flight out of LAX so we opted to just crash at the airport instead of a rushed chaotic morning. Right as we were about to leave the Lost Campers facility, the owner himself happened to arrive and offered us a ride to the airport. At this point, it was late in the evening and an Uber was going to be hard to get and expensive. We had a lovely chat in the 25 minutes it took to get us to departures. I saw him and the life he described as just lovely. I trust anyone who shares of themselves freely, so thank you for your generosity of time and of spirit.

We rented a campervan for 5 days. Had a great time! I had a lot of questions for the staff and they were always very prompt with their replies. The van had all of the basic things we needed to camp. The bed was comfortable! I would recommend this company! The experience inspired me to want a minivan camper of my own!

Wir haben uns 2022 einen Van für Burning Man ausgeliehen. Der Preis ist natürlich schon sportlich aber im Vergleich zu allen anderen war er trotzdem noch human. Die Kommunikation, Abholung und Rückgabe hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Das Auto hatte alles wie beschrieben und wir waren für unseren Trip sehr gut ausgestattet. Auch wenn es schon ein etwas älteres Auto war fuhr es ohne Probleme und alles funktionierte. Wir waren rund um mit allem zufrieden. Können lost campers nur empfehlen und würden hier sofort wieder mieten. Vielen Dank.
