Known for its picturesque landscapes filled with mountain, lake, and forest views—many of which can be enjoyed from the road—New Hampshire is a beautiful place to spend an RV vacation.

From State Parks to secluded and glamorous campgrounds, New Hampshire has a bit of everything for anyone when it comes to places for recreational camping. The Granite State’s motto is “Live Free or Die,” so finding folks enjoying the open road is commonplace in this little Northeastern state bordered by Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts. To help you find the best camper rental, we have selected what we consider the best RV rental agencies serving New Hampshire. Here are our picks.
Outdoorsy
Outdoorsy is a peer-to-peer marketplace where RV owners can advertise and rent their vehicles to tourists needing a short-term RV rental. Vehicles come in multiple sizes and styles, from 2-person trailers to much more spacious vehicles that can sleep bigger groups. One advantage of booking an RV through a company like Outdoorsy is the possibility of a better deal than what is offered at normal rental agencies.
When we searched for RVs in New Hampshire, we found an array of options available for pick-up across the state. A 2014 Itasca Spirit is renovated and ready to host a family looking for style in a 32 ft. Class C camper. Bunk areas have their own TVs, the kitchen is fully stocked for 8 guests, the ride is loaded with extra items like hammocks, outdoor lights, and a portable grill all for runs $300 per night plus fees. For a small RV rental, a converted 2004 Toyota Sienna provides mobility to anywhere a sightseer may want to go. The conversion provides a seating area and room to sleep 2 and rents for $100 per night plus fees. Some owners will deliver for a fee and most vehicles require added insurance available in three coverage tiers.
Cruise America
Cruise America is the largest RV rental firm in the United States. Founded in 1972, Cruise America now has 132 locations, with one being in North Hampton, a one-hour drive north of Boston. Cruise America Class C RVs are custom manufactured to be safe, comfortable, and reliable for those driving to remote places. Rentals come with an orientation video, a 24/7 assistance hotline, and plenty of online resources.
In New Hampshire, Cruise America offers four sizes of RVs for rent. The large RV sleeps 7 and comes with all the self-contained features a camper would expect. These units rent for $170 per night plus tax and fees. The standard motorhome sleeps 5 and is the most popular RV in the Cruise America fleet. This economical family unit is pet friendly and rents for $140 per night plus tax and fees. Compact and Compact Plus motorhomes cost $175 per night plus tax and fees. All vehicles incur a charge of $.38 per mile distance fee. More optional add-ons available for all campers include a “zero damage” liability policy; a kitchen kit with utensils, cookware, and glassware; and a towels and linens package. Cruise America vehicles are often in high demand and availability may be limited.
