About Carol Jones

Hello, My name is Carol and I was born in the English Lake District. As a child I really loved going out in my dads van (Betsy) exploring, hiking and having a lot of fun. My parents had a caravan that we would go to on weekends and it was brilliant! We enjoyed fire pits, banana boats and games. I loved those times and continued doing the same here in Canada. I have been in Canada 34 years and my children are grown. I am Nana to a beautiful 4 year old girl and she has loved helping me with Betsy! We have already slept in her a few times. My wish is that everyone can experience the outdoors and nature (a little more comfortably than a tent.) There is so much to see and explore in this great province and country of ours. Happy camping to you all and I look forward hearing of your adventures in Betsy! Thank you Carol

We finished Betsy’s 2023 season in the fall. Betsy is comfortable, safe and well maintained, we have driven nearly 3600km without mechanical problems. Betsy is fully equipped and Carol seems to have thought of everything, heater, solar panel for fridge cooler, coffee maker and cell phone charger, fleece sheet for the cool weather of early fall, double folding chair and Comfy blankets to snuggle up in the evening fire, indoor sink and handy portable toilet. Renting this Vanlife gave us incredible freedom because it was easy to maneuver and park. It's been a long time since we slept so much and so well...Thanks to Carol for her desire to ensure that everything was in place for us to have a good stay...mission accomplished. She is a very friendly and available host. We highly recommend!' - Jean and Chantal

We had the most amazing trip to the Rockies and Betsy was the driver of our experience.
Carol is very easy to communicate with, and she accommodated us in every way she could.
Betsy might be old, but she is very easy to drive.

Carol was very nice and the campervan had everything I needed and everything I didn't know I needed for my two weeks on the road.

Amazing van and owner! Easy communication to get the van and drop it off. The van works really well and is completely equiped for a great experience. We went to banff and jasper with it. It was our first time renting a van and it was the best experience !

Carol is an extremely helpful and caring owner. I had one small mechanical issue and she was ready to go above and beyond to keep my trip going - thankfully the issue was quickly resolved and I only lost one evening of travel. Betsy is an older vehicle but does everything you need her to. With the provided bedding, fuzzy sweater, and propane heater this coastal, no-snow girl had no problems in nights of -4C. I had a lovely trip around Banff and Lake Louise area, going places bus tours wouldn’t and able to move at my own pace. A wonderful trip thanks to Betsy and Carol!

Betsy took us all the amazing places we wanted to go! Carol was fast and so helpful when communicating. Before, during and after the trip she made sure we had everything we needed. We mentioned that we liked hot chocolate and she surprised us with a collapsible, electric kettle, and a container of hot chocolate for the journey. It was so sweet!! We were able to cook all our meals with everything Betsy was equipped with. The Snuggie’s were awesome for the unexpected chilly mountain air. This was our first time renting as I had just turned 25, but it was such a positive experience. If you are thinking about renting Betsy from Carol, do it! You won’t regret it. Thank you so much Carol for all your help, we loved every minute of our trip around Alberta.

Fantastic experience and perfect for a few days exploring Banff. Carol was wonderfully helpful and provided everything we needed: chairs, cooking utensils, spices, hatchet, binoculars, bear spray, EVERYTHING.

This has been an amazing experience. From the first moment Carol was very attentive providing us with information and directions. The van is equipped with everything you need to camp, and the campgrounds also have all the services, so there were many things that we did not need to use. we spent almost 2 weeks from banff to jasper via kootenay. in bed you fit lying down if you are not very tall and it is very comfortable. we did miss a frying pan but it wasn't completely necessary either, the key sometimes jams a little bit in the locks but it ends up working. to check out Kelvin took care of everything, making transportation to the airport easy for us. Thank you very much for everything, we loved the experience.

Betsy was a great van! We spent 3 nights in Banff and Lake Louise. She drives great and is small but powerful. Would definitely rent again. Loved cooking on the back door for picnics on the road. Bed is for people under 6 feet tall.
