PickRV is a multi-vendor, peer-to-peer marketplace to rent RVs, campervans, towables, boats, off-road rigs, and classic touring vehicles from local owners and rental operators across all 50 US states. You search by state or vehicle type, compare honest nightly prices, and book securely through Stripe.

Does PickRV charge renters a service fee?

No. Renters pay no service fee on PickRV — the nightly price you see is the price you plan around, with the final total shown before you pay. There are no drip-pricing add-ons at checkout.

How much do owners keep on PickRV?

Owners keep 75% of every booking. There are no listing fees and no monthly minimums — owners set their own calendar, price, and pickup rules. State Pioneers, the first three hosts in each state, keep an even higher share during their first year.

Is PickRV an insurance company?

No. PickRV is a marketplace, not an insurer or insurance underwriter. Optional liability coverage is offered at checkout through a licensed third-party insurer. The provider name, policy limits, and deductible are disclosed before you purchase, and you can decline.

Do I need a special license to rent an RV?

For most motorhomes and campervans, a standard US driver's license is enough. Some states have age, endorsement, or operator-license rules for larger vehicles, boats, and off-road rigs — PickRV flags those requirements on the individual listing so you know before you book.

Which states is PickRV available in?

PickRV covers all 50 US states. Inventory grows as more owners list their rigs, so availability varies by state and dates. If your dates aren't covered near you yet, you can save a search alert and we'll email you the moment a match becomes available.

Deep dive · PickRV editorial

Everything you need to plan Bonnaroo Music + Arts Festival

Bonnaroo returns to Great Stage Park (1560 New Bushy Branch Rd) in Manchester, TN, June 11-14, 2026 - a 700-acre farm roughly 65 miles southeast of Nashville that was, more than almost any major U.S. festival, purpose-built for camping. After record-setting spring rainfall flooded the grounds and forced the 2025 festival to cancel after one day, organizers say they consulted drainage and land-management experts to harden the site, but the central planning truth is unchanged: an RV is the smartest way to do Bonnaroo. The biggest 2026 change is that every official RV pass is now a powered pass, with your choice of 30- or 50-amp service, so running AC on shore power through four humid June days is the standard, not a premium upsell. There are still no water or sewer hookups at standard RV sites - a mobile refill and pump service runs through United Site Services for a per-service fee, and the premium Area 931 includes daily water and waste. Spots are assigned by arrival order, so earlier arrivals camp closer to Centeroo. If you would rather not camp on the Farm, Manchester is ringed by real RV parks with full hookups within a short drive. There is no public transit to the venue: plan to drive your rig in, or stage in town and use the official Nashville-airport shuttle (Thursday, Friday, Monday only) or a third-party Manchester shuttle.

Best RV parks

Bonnaroo Onsite RV Camping (Great Stage Park)

dry

Bonnaroo / Great Stage Park (festival official) · 0 min - onsite at Great Stage Park, 1560 New Bushy Branch Rd

New for 2026: every RV pass is powered (30 or 50 amp). No water/sewer at site - United Site Services does paid mobile refill/pump. Spots assigned by arrival order, ~20x50 ft each.

The Broken Banjo RV Park (formerly Manchester KOA)

full

Private (Roadville) · ~10-15 min to Great Stage Park; off I-24 Exit 114 (586 Campground Rd)

Full hookups, pull-throughs, RVs up to 65 ft, dump station, showers, laundry, store, propane. Practically in Bonnaroo's backyard - a solid base if you want hookups instead of dry onsite camping.

Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park

partial

Tennessee State Parks · ~10 min to Great Stage Park (732 Stone Fort Dr, Manchester)

50 sites with water + electric (no sewer at sites - bring full water, use the year-round dump station). Pads fit up to 50 ft. Closest state-park option to the venue; book early, it is small.

Whispering Oaks Campground at Whispering Woods

full

Private · ~15-20 min to Great Stage Park (812 Sixteenth Model Rd, Manchester)

Full hookups (water / 50-amp / sewer) plus 30-amp and rough sites, dump station, pool, group sites. Group-friendly base for crews coordinating multiple rigs.

Tims Ford State Park (Fairview & Main campgrounds)

full

Tennessee State Parks · ~40 min to Great Stage Park via TN-55 (Winchester, ~26 mi)

Fairview has 82 sites with 20/30/50-amp + water and 31 sewer sites; Main has 30-amp + water with four sewer sites. Lakeside escape on Tims Ford Lake for a quieter night off the Farm.

Per-vehicle-type recommendations

Bonnaroo onsite RV spaces run about 20x50 ft and now include 30/50-amp power, so a Class C 24-32 ft or a Class A is ideal for four days of June heat - you can run AC on shore power. Bring a full fresh-water tank: there are no site water/sewer hookups, only paid United Site Services refill and pump. Arrive early; spots are assigned by arrival order, closest to Centeroo first.

trucks vans

A Class B campervan or truck camper is the nimble play: it qualifies for an RV pass as long as it exceeds 20 ft (towed campers count as RVs; box trucks and trailers are not permitted), parks easily, and slips around Manchester's two-lane roads and the I-24 Exit 114 corridor. Smaller footprint also means easier staging at a hookup park like Broken Banjo, then shuttling in on day passes.

Safety + legal — sourced

NWS Nashville (OHX)

Manchester falls under NWS Nashville's OHX forecast area. June brings frequent afternoon thunderstorms and severe-weather risk - record 2025 rainfall flooded the Farm and cancelled the festival after one day. Keep weather alerts on and know the festival's onsite shelter protocols.

Bonnaroo official (RV FAQs)

Standard RV sites have power only - no water or sewer hookups and no onsite dump. Arrive with a full fresh-water tank; use the paid United Site Services mobile refill/pump or buy the premium Area 931 for included daily water/waste.

Bonnaroo official (camping rules)

An RV is defined as any vehicle over 20 ft; oversized vehicles and towed campers count as RVs, but box trucks and trailers are not permitted on RV passes. RV spots are assigned by arrival order, so earlier arrival means a spot closer to Centeroo.

TN Highway Patrol / TDOT (I-24 corridor)

I-24 Exit 114 and the two-lane roads into Great Stage Park back up badly on arrival day. DUI enforcement is heavy on festival weekends - always have a designated sober driver for any rig moves between a hookup park and the Farm.

CDC / NWS Nashville heat guidance

Middle Tennessee June heat indices regularly push into the upper 90s. Pre-cool the rig on shore power, keep electrolytes and shade onboard, and check on group members through long sun-exposed festival days.

Transit from RV base to event

Camp on-site (no transit)

With an on-site RV pass you live inside Great Stage Park and walk to Centeroo - no driving once you're parked.
