Organized river rafting trips are a good idea for novices and
experts alike. River rafting tours provide all of the equipment,
guidance, and instruction necessary. If the trip covers several
days, the rafting company may provide camping accommodations as
well. Trips are available for rafters of all skill levels, from
beginners rafting for the first time, to skilled experts looking
for the toughest rivers in the country.
River rafting tours are offered on many major rivers in the
country. Trips are available in many different lengths, varying
from an afternoon to a two week trek. River rafting trips
designed for families as well as trips that cater to experienced
rafters are available almost anywhere. While much river rafting
is done in the Southwest, it is by no means the only place for a
river rafting adventure. North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and many
other states have great rivers for rafting.
A couple of well-established river rafting outfitters are Dvorak
Expeditions, California River Rafting Excitement, and the
Nantahala Outdoor Center. All three of these companies offer
great guides, top-of-the-line equipment, and routes on some of
the best rivers.
Dvorak Enterprises was the first outfitter given a river
recreation outfitters license in 1969. Run by the world famous
Bill Dvorak out of Salida, Colorado, this company offers
exciting river rafting trips to visitors in many states
including Colorado, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah, and Texas, as well
as New Zealand and Nepal. Dvorak Enterprises is known for its
friendly, skilled, and knowledgeable guides.
California River Rafting Excitement is one of the top-rated
river rafting outfitters in the Sunshine State. This company
offers river rafting trips on five different California rivers,
has trips designed for families as well as experienced rafters,
and offers camping equipment for trips lasting several days.

river rafting adventures on several rivers in the area. The
rivers range in difficulty to accommodate rafters at any skill
level, and Nantahala offers great guides as well as a rafting
school for novices.

This year for our vacation we thought that we would try something quite different for us. We usually have our travel agent book us reservations for some resort where we can relax with luxurious accommodations and visit interesting attractions nearby. Most of the time we fly to our destination, but we have driven if it is not more than a few hours away. This year we decided that we would like to try roughing it in an RV. We have never done anything like this before, so we thought that it may be fun.
We have friends who have shared their experiences with us and it did sound very inviting to relax around an open fire and enjoy mountain, ocean, or desert views. We do not own an RV, so we decided that we would rent one for this vacation. We do not enjoy driving that much, so it seamed very appropriate that we fly to our location and pick up an RV there to use for a week or so.
We began our search on the internet for RV rentals. We typed in RV rental North Carolina and found many dealers who were willing to rent their RVs nightly, weekly, or long term. We typed in RV rental Phoenix and found very similar ads. Phoenix is a very popular place to visit and we have always wanted to go there. But after searching RV rental Texas, RV rental Montana, RV rental Orlando, and RV rental in North Dakota, we began to change our minds.
We found that very small RV units start out at $125.00 per day and go up to as much as $300.00 per day depending on the size that you choose. There is a small discount on weekly or long term rental. Additional cost not mentioned are insurance and taxes. So we began to do the math. Figuring the cost of the vehicle, the price of fuel, and then the cost of renting a campground space, you have yourself a very expensive endeavor. Just a campsite alone can cost as much as $40.00 to $60.00 a day.
We quickly decided that roughing it is very expensive. We can stay at a luxurious hotel or condominium somewhere, eat in the finest restaurants, and relax around a pool or spa all day long, or cook around a campfire, fight the flies and mosquitoes, and sleep in a camper bed for the same amount of money.
The choice really wasn’t hard to make. For those who like the out of doors, cooking your own meals, camping in the woods, and washing dishes, go for it. We just didn’t think that we could afford it.
