Discover Vernonia RV rentals for memorable road trips

Settled in 1874 by the Parker, Cherrington, and Var Blaricom families, the head of Cherrington family suggested naming the settlement after his daughter, Vernona who he had left behind in Ohio. The U.S. Postal Service somehow made an error and inserted an “i” into the name: Vernonia. The families were drawn to Oregon by the promises of riches and bountiful farming lands.

The Great Outdoors

A common reason to book an RV in Vernonia, OR, is for its close access to several wilderness areas, such as the Clatsop State Forest and its more famous cousin, Tillamook State Forest. Vernonia has its own pockets of wilderness, too. The Banks-Vernonia Trail, laid over an old railroad track, runs for 23 miles from Banks to Vernonia. The dense fir woods form a canopy over the trail and times, it can feel like an underground tunnel. The trail carves its way through deep woods, open meadows, and over old-timey trestle bridges. It passes by several trailheads for several parks, as well.

RV Parks

Most of the roads in this part of the state are quite narrow and lack any place to safely pull over at nighttime. When you make arrangements to rent an RV, be sure to figure out where you can sleep overnight. Fortunately, there are several private and public campgrounds in the area.

Exploring the City

Because Vernonia is rural, it’s easy to think that there’s nothing to do in the town. Anything but! Walk into the pioneer past at the Vernonia Pioneer Museum. The museum has on display photographs and folk art dating back to the late 1900s, including photographs of the original families who founded Vernonia. There are also clothes, tools, and other artifacts in the exhibitions. Check online for the hours.

This van was super fun! It got us through our hot springs road trip with no issues. In fact, it made us want to get a van of our own. We got about 18 mpg which was better than I expected. Bed may be a little short for anyone taller than 5”9 but it worked for us. Would rent again!

We had an amazing experience renting Randolph’s van on Outdoorsy—easy five stars. We took our family of five through Zion, Bryce, and Great Basin National Parks, and the van made the whole trip effortless and fun. It drove great, everything worked perfectly, and it was such a game changer to just pull into camp and be set up instantly without dealing with tents and all the usual hassle—especially with kids.

My wife and I rented Robert’s van for a weeklong roadtrip up the Oregon coast, and our experience couldn’t have been any better! Robert and his wife were very friendly and took the time to thoroughly go over every aspect of how to operate the van and all of its features - which was useful to me as a first time camper van user. The van itself is truly wonderful. The van is 21ft but does not feel very large to drive at all. The van has a backup camera and blind spot detection as well which was nice.
