For $125, today's side deal gets you a three-day, two-night camper rental, with a convenience package of cooking pans, bathroom necessities, and more, from Southern Popup Rentals (up to a $275 value), located in Troutman. Choose from either the 8-foot rental, which sleeps four to six people, or the 10-foot rental, which holds six to eight people. A refundable $200 deposit, not covered by this Groupon, is required to batten down your rental-date hatches. For a longer visit with Mother Nature, campers may combine up to three Groupons per rental.

Unlike tent camping, Southern Popup Rentals' rolling campers offer guests the comforts of home, such as a sink with running water (with a hookup), a gas grill, air conditioning (with plug-in), interior lighting, and a refrigerator. Also included in this deal is a convenience package, containing essentials such as toilet paper, hand soap, cooking pans, a portable potty, a coffee maker, paper plates, paper towels, and more. For guests new to the world of upscale tenting, the friendly experts at Southern Popup Rentals can help answer any questions about your camper, including set-up, care, and what to feed it. When picking up the camper, guests should allow an hour and a half before hookup to review camper setup and safety with a Southern Popup Rentals employee. Check the calendar for available dates, and then enjoy the great outdoors from the comforts of the oft-ignored indoors.

You must be at least 25 years old to rent a camper. You must also provide a copy of your driver's license and insurance card. Review the FAQs for additional requirements. Rentals subject to availability. In order to hook up the camper to a vehicle, a 2-inch ball trailer hitch is required.
