A camper rental for people who would rather be at the beach.

Most RV rentals run on the airport-counter model — fluorescent lighting, forty-page contracts, a queue behind you while you initial twenty-three boxes. Tidewater works differently. Pick a camper. We have it prepped, stocked, and ready in the yard. You drive out. You drive back. The whole exchange takes less than the time it takes to make a coffee.

01 / Provisioning

Stocked, not stripped

Every camper goes out with linens, towels, kitchen, gas, water, and a full pantry of essentials — coffee, salt, oil, pepper, dish soap. You bring food. We bring the rest. No surprise extras to rent at the door.

02 / Routes

Local route notes

Every booking ships with a hand-drawn route card — where to stop, where the showers actually work, which campgrounds are first-come, and which beach is worth the extra forty miles. Eleven years of notes, organised by camper.

03 / On the road

One number, any hour

If anything goes sideways on the road, you call one number and a person picks up — at three in the morning, in the rain, with a flat tyre on a beach access road. We have done it. The line forwards to whoever is on call.

One sample route, five stops.

A typical seven-day loop from the Yard, written up like a shipping manifest because that is how we file them in the office. Customers get this kind of card with every booking, marked up for the camper they took and the season they took it.

Three campers, three kinds of week.

One from each class — vintage van, compact Sprinter, full-size motorhome. The full yard book is eighteen vehicles on the Fleet page. Every camper goes out provisioned the same way, with the same insurance, the same one-number-any-hour support.
