Discover Tillamook State Forest RV rentals for memorable road trips

After a series of devastating forest fires in the 1930s, the temperate rainforest in the Oregon area that would later become Tillamook State Forest was nearly irreversibly damaged. Thanks to the massive efforts of the Oregon Department of Forestry and thousands of volunteers, over 72 million tree seedlings were planted. Up until 2019, this effort was the world’s largest reforestation project. Tillamook State Forest was officially established in 1973 to grant it extra protections from logging and mining enterprises. As a temperate rainforest, the region receives over 100 inches of rainfall annually, which makes it one of the wettest areas in the United States.

Getting Outdoors

With over 364,000 acres to explore, outdoor adventurers have a choice between a wide range of hiking destinations, like summits that climb up above soft clouds, deep, misty valleys, dewy mountain meadows, and lakes. The trails total around 100 miles. The forest is relatively young, only a few decades old. Though the branches overhead reach out to one another, sunlight blaze through easily, nourishing the plants below. As a result of the abundant, warm sunlight, the forest floor is blanked by a riot of greenery. Shrubs, ferns, small forest plants, and lush, soft moss. Only the constant pounding of people’s feet and an occasional deer joining the trek keep the trails clear of moss and other underfoot plants.

Rented this camper van from Jacob, and honestly, it was perfect. The custom interior is amazing super cozy, stylish, and full of thoughtful touches that made the trip so much better. You can tell a lot of love went into designing this van!

Had epic time in this beautiful camper van on my trip down to the Redwoods! Honestly, it was the perfect way to do it. The van itself was spotless, like, super clean. I was seriously impressed. The sink was a lifesaver too, could leave the water running for ages without it running out, which was super helpful while cooking and washing up. The bed was so cozy, I slept like a baby every night. And the whole van just smelled fresh and welcoming the whole time.

Vista was amazing and Paul was an excellent host. I was very comfortable in the van on the Oregon Coast in January! The van was well equipped with everything I needed. The van was easy to drive even on very windy roads. Can’t wait to take it out again.
