Covered in dense lush forests and with some spectacular views, Oregon is a Pacific Northwest paradise. There are so many unique deals packed into the Oregon borders that it can be difficult to choose where to go, so I’m offering my top five parks, terrain, and RV sites for Beaver State.
Port Orford RV Village: Port Orford
This little gem of an RV park is located in the westernmost incorporated city of the lower 48 states. You will have rich amenities and features at Port Orford RV Village, all sites have full utility hookups, cable TV, Wi-Fi access and a personal patio and picnic table. You’ll get bright and clean laundry facilities, toilets and showers to rinse off with the salt spray. Other amenities and features include complimentary coffee every morning, a rec room, propane refills, and even a fish cleaning station for the day’s catch.
The Port Orford area is a quiet town amongst several fun places to see. Your number one destination is Cape Blanco State Park, a coastal park with hiking trails, beaches, horse trails, wetlands, and the Cabo Blanco Lighthouse, built in 1870. Other popular destinations around the area include the Prehistoric Gardens, Rogue River Boat Ride, Paradise Point Beach, the Coast Guard Museum and many others.
Seven Feathers RV Resort: Canyonville
Seven Feathers RV Resort is a quiet RV park located in southern Oregon but very close to the action at Seven Feathers Casino Resort. It’s hard to imagine that an RVer could ask for more. A valet guides you to your RV site, all sites are equipped with full service hookups, free cable TV, and wireless internet access. There are laundry facilities and family-style bathrooms and showers. There are so many other facilities that it’s hard to know where to start – there’s a gym, walking and biking trails, a media center, and group-use areas just to name a few.
You can bring the courtesy to the Seven Feathers Casino for your date with Lady Luck. Play board games, enjoy live entertainment, dine at an excellent restaurant, or let all stress and worry melt away in the spa and sauna. As with most high-end casinos, there are concierge services, golf courses, and even winery tours.
Phoenix RV Park: Salem
The Salem area has almost something for everyone and Phoenix RV Park is a great place to start your Salem adventure. This park has all the facilities and services you could ask for. There are pull back and pull sites available with 30/50 amp hookups, water, sewer and you can also pay for direct propane hookups. The sites have cable television, personal patio areas and are guarded by private security. You can even have someone come out to wash and detail your RV as you explore Salem.
There are several other facilities available in Phoenix, including ADA approved toilets and showers.
The Salem area has a lot to offer the RVer. Try the Enchanted Forest theme park or the Riverfront Carousel for family fun. Silver Falls State Park offers some outdoor adventures, while the many historic bridges or the Evergreen Aviation Museum offer amateur historians plenty to visit. If you left the kids at home, try the Spirit Mountain Casino or visit one of the Willamette Valley wineries.
Mazama Village Campground: Crater Lake
Mazama Village is the closest you can get to Crater Lake without doing primitive camping. While the amenities aren’t five-star, they definitely will with their proximity to Crater Lake. You’ll find electric RV sites in Mazama with several water hookups and dump stations located throughout the park. Mazama offers picnic tables, fire pits, laundry facilities, restrooms, and showers and completes its facilities with a camp store, gas station, and restaurant.
Mazami Village is just seven miles from the edge of spectacular Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Forest, one of this writer’s favorite national parks. This fifth oldest national park is the site of an ancient volcano whose own destruction today leaves us a serene blue lake. Visitors can hike through ancient forests or wildflower meadows, take a scenic drive along the edge, participate in ranger-led tours, or simply drink in the surroundings, this sight never goes out of style.
Cannon Beach RV Resort: Cannon Beach
This highly rated RV park is a great way to experience the beautiful North Oregon Coast. Cannon Beach RV Resort is home to more than 100 complete sites with full utility hookups, as well as cable TV and wireless internet access on its concrete deck. You can expect clean restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities, as well as an indoor pool and spa, picnic tables, brick fire pits, camping tent, group pavilions, and more.
Staying at Cannon Beach can offer you one of the best views you’ll find on the Pacific coast. Nearby Ecola State Park is a collection of beaches and trails that run from Cannon Beach to Seaside Oregon, and its beauty was even recorded by the famous American traveler William Clark of Lewis and Clark, who called it: “The greatest and most pleasant prospects that my eyes have ever seen. Cannon Beach is also home to great restaurants and unique art galleries that you will only find in Oregon.
Oregon is a gem in the Northwest, and its beautiful landscaping and RV parks appeal to all RVers.
