RV Rental Kansas

Top Three RV Rental Locations in Kansas

Known as both the Sunflower State and the Wheat State, Kansas offers plenty of options for campers. You can stay in its biggest city of Wichita in southern Kansas or head to Overland Park in the extended Kansas City metro area. The next biggest city outside of the KC suburbs is Topeka, the state's capital. 

If you're planning a trip and creating your budget, you'll want to look at the cost of Kansas RV rentals. Travel trailers are among the most popular options for travelers. You can snag a newer model or one that is only a couple of years old and has lots of interior space for around $150 or less per night.

If you need more room or don't have a vehicle that can tow a travel trailer, consider a Class A motorhome. Jayco and models from other brands can sleep as many as eight guests; this means you can keep an eye on your kids from the driver's seat. Most Class A rentals in Kansas are available for $200 to $250 per night. There are also some pop-up campers that you can rent for a weekend or a full week. Generally costing $100 or less per night, these models conveniently have beds on each end. Kansas pop-up campers are easy to set up, too.

Kansas RV Rentals by City

Home to roughly 400,000 people, Wichita is a popular destination for tourists. Downtown has hosted the Wichita River Festival every year since 1972 and also has a flea market where you can shop for bargains. You may also want to grab tickets to see the Wichita Thunder minor league hockey team play in Intrust Bank Arena.

Overland Park is the second-most populated city in Kansas and the Kansas City metro area. This booming suburb is known for its beautiful sunflowers (many of which grow wild) and big-city attractions such as the Overland Park Convention Center. Families love the Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead that has a camp where you can mine for gold near a wagon that offers daily hayrides and a petting zoo filled with animals.

While Kansas City, MO, is the largest city in the KC metro area, there's another Kansas City just over the border in Kansas. Known as KCK, Kansas City is easy to reach via the I-35, which runs north and south, and I-70, which runs east to west. The Kansas Speedway is just outside the city and serves as a popular track on the NASCAR circuit. It hosts two NASCAR races every year.

You'll find Olathe nestled on the southwest corner of the KC metro area. Since it's somewhat separate from the urban center, Olathe has a charming look and feel that appeals to many visitors. Shawnee Mission Park lets you get away from the crowds and find the perfect fishing hole. Olathe also boasts historic sites such as the Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop Farm.
