A family business built on one simple idea: make camping easy for everyone.
Our Story
About three years ago, Jamie and I discovered Dave Ramsey. We started budgeting for the first time, getting serious about our finances, and somewhere in the middle of all that, we realized we had a camper sitting in the driveway that we'd just bought on credit. Dave would've told us to light the money on fire.
So I decided to turn it into an asset instead of a loss. I listed it on RVShare and it took off. The bookings in the first few months were incredible. While on the platform, I noticed you could list a camper you didn't personally own. After months of research and outreach, I landed my first owner willing to trust me with their camper. Then another. Then another.
In February 2025, we took everything we'd built and launched Auburn Camper Rentals: our own brand, our own platform, our own identity. It's been one of the most fun things we've ever done together, and we're just getting started.
We're based in Smiths Station, AL. We know these campgrounds, these roads, and these communities. We're not a chain. We're your neighbors.
Meet Jamie
Jamie is a registered nurse, a loving wife, and a proud mother, and somehow she also finds time to keep Auburn Camper Rentals running smoothly behind the scenes.
She coordinates our delivery schedules, manages driver logistics, and makes sure every camper that leaves our lot is spotless and stocked. If a delivery is going smoothly, there's a good chance Jamie had something to do with the planning.
We built this business as a family, and it's run like one. When you book with us, you're dealing with real people who take pride in what they do.
Meet the Crew
No introduction to our family would be complete without Cooper, our Frug (a Pug/French Bulldog mix) who rides shotgun on just about every delivery run. He's the unofficial mascot of Auburn Camper Rentals and, frankly, a better ambassador than either of us.
When we say we're pet people, we mean it. We know how much it matters to bring your animals along, so dogs are welcome in our campers. Just add them when you book.
Head of Security
Gracie is our 110-pound Rottweiler, and she takes her job of supervising the fleet very seriously. You will usually find her parked in the gravel between the campers, keeping an eye on things, and she has yet to let a single trailer wander off.
Between Cooper and Gracie, we have both ends of the dog spectrum covered, so we get it: the big ones and the little ones are family too. Up to two dogs are welcome in our campers with a $50 pet fee. Just add them when you book.
What We Stand For
When you call us, you reach us. We're not a call center. We're a small team that genuinely cares about your trip going well, and we're reachable by phone throughout your rental.
We show up on time, the camper is clean, and everything works. That's the minimum standard we hold ourselves to on every single delivery. If something goes wrong, we fix it.
We live here. We hire local drivers. We work with local campgrounds. Auburn Camper Rentals is a Smiths Station success story and we intend to keep it that way as we grow.
