Discover Deer Island RV rentals for memorable road trips

A classic small town with only a few hundred residents, this town is almost a literal one-street town. Looking at a map, one might be hard pressed to see that present-day Deer Island is indeed an island. Over the past two hundred years, men have reworked or destroyed streams and creeks that branched out from the Columbia River and rejoined it, effectively making it a part of the mainland.

The Great Outdoor

There’s no need to venture far in an RV rental to find adventure. The Columbia River, minutes away, is home to some of the country’s finest whitewater rapids. The rapids range from Class II to IV, and in late spring and early summer, the influx of snowmelt can increase the difficulty to as high as V. If the rapids are rated VI, which is extremely rare, usually occurring after a winter of unusually heavy snowfall, only experts should attempt them. Rafting guide groups are well trained and will do their utmost to ensure that all adventurers are safe, and equally important, have a blast.

RV Parks

Don’t forget to figure out where you’ll park a rental RV overnight while you hit the sack. Deer Island is right off the Historic Columbia Highway, which gets a lot of traffic. There aren’t any pullover sites. Fortunately, public and private campgrounds are plentiful. Bayport RV Park and Campground is a few minutes away, near Scappoose. The campground is adjacent to the Scappoose Bay Marine Park, which is a benefit for boat owners. The facility also has kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for rent. All sites have 30 amps, and the sites with 50 amps are limited.

Exploring the City

Having a reliable motorhome rental from Deer Island is practically a must when visiting. It’ll allow you to easily explore the local sights, landmarks, and historical sites. The Caples House Museum in Columbia City, OR, was built in 1870 and is one of the oldest still-standing homes in the area. Situated on top of a hill, the museum has a magnificent view of the Columbia River. It’s easy to see why the original owners chose to build there. The museum, which consists of the original home and a few outbuildings, has been restored to its original condition. Antique furniture, clothes, tools, and various knickknacks used by the Caples family are on display, allowing the visitors a glimpse into the pioneer past.

Incredibly well stocked, well organized, and very thoughtful host. The rig is well designed, spacious, and easy to drive. They have it decked out so well you could fly in to PDX with a backpack full of clothes and not want for anything taking this anywhere (well, you would need to get food I suppose) and have a great time. Highly recommended!!

We recently rented this RV for a 2-week trip and had an incredible experience. From the moment it was delivered, it was clear that the vehicle was very well-maintained. The interior was clean and fresh, making it feel like we were the first people to use it.
We were especially impressed by the performance and fuel efficiency. Over the course of our 2-week, 3200 mile journey, the RV handled beautifully and delivered fantastic gas mileage, which was a huge relief and a major cost saver. All systems worked great.
The owner was also a pleasure to work with. He was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process, from booking to drop-off. We truly appreciated their attention to detail and care for their vehicles. We will definitely be repeat customers.
