Discover The Dalles RV rentals for memorable road trips

The Dalles is a large town on the Columbia River in northern Oregon, just over an hour's drive from Portland. Before The Dalles was a major city and the seat of Wasco County, it was a massive trading center for indigenous people for 10,000 years. This historically significant stretch of land was one of the most important regional trading hubs on the entire continent at one point in time. The interesting name of the city is said to come from the French word “dalle,” describing the flagstones or slabs of rock that create rapids in the mighty Columbia River.

RV was great and our hosts made it really easy with delivery and set up. It's billed as sleeping six and would likely do so with a family with smaller kids tho we had all adults and all guys so glad there were only 4 of us. All in all the, would definitely recommend and use again!

We really liked Michael & Jessica’s camper, very easy to tow, especially with the anti-sway bars on their hitch. It’s the perfect size for our family of 4 and it has everything we might need for a camping trip. All the amenities you want and the beds are super comfortable. We didn’t have water or electrical hookups, so the water tanks and generator were perfect for a 2-night trip. The outdoor kitchen is great, cooking outside while enjoying the weather. The A/C didn’t work, we learned that after booking, but we didn’t need it, even with 90+ degree weather on Saturday, the night was very cool and we had fans for each bed. Michael & Jessica are very nice and they try to take care of everything, definitely recommend and hopefully we’ll do it again!
