RV Rental Boring, OR

Mount Hood National Forest alone covers over 200,000 acres of land, and there are oodles of other state and federal parks that add to that tally. Why bother getting a hotel room? A Boring camper rental instead will get you closer to nature and all the bounties that the majestic Cascade mountain range has. With high slopes and heavy winter snows that results in gushing streams, it’s no surprise that there are hundreds of waterfalls dotting the state. The Multnomah Falls, Bridal Veil Fall, and Horsetail Fall are possibly the most famous of them all, likely because they’re so easy to locate. Indeed, Multnomah Falls can be seen right off the Columbia River Highway. Heads-up, the parking lots can be a tight squeeze, but there are nearby parking lots within walking distance. And of course, these falls also have several miles of hiking trails for adventurers and landscape photographers to explore.

Although Mount Hood National Forest receives over four million visitors annually, the 1,000-plus miles of maintained multi-use trails gives adventurers plenty of elbow room and opportunities for solitude. Hike, bike, horseback ride, and more. In winters, cross-country skiing, backcountry skiing, and snowboarding are all popular activities. A small ski resort, Mt. Hood Meadows, has 11 lifts, though most slopes are rated intermediate to advanced. In early summers, compete with the birds and pick wild blackberries and blueberries. Bring your RV travel trailer from Boring, as there are several campgrounds, some of which have hookups, or at the very minimum, dump stations.

Even in rural Boring, parking overnight is verboten. There are several campgrounds and RV parks within 15 miles’ radius, though. When you book an RV in Boring, OR, be sure to find a site that will meet your needs.

The Clackamas River RV Park in Estacada is nestled in a curve of the Clackamas River, just west of the North Fork Reservoir. Step out a luxury RV rental in mornings and catch a string of fish for breakfast. In addition to full hookups for your RV, the facility also offers a gated security system, free WiFi, and restrooms.

A babbling brook runs past the Portland Fairview RV Park, providing a pleasant ambient background sound. Just a few minutes from a couple small lakes and the mighty Columbia River, this Fairview park is also conveniently close to Portland.

Oxbow Regional Park, just off the Sandy River, is a state-run campground near Gresham. The site is smaller than most, and while RVs are welcome, only a few lots have hookups. The river historically has salmon spawnings and is a popular kayaking and tubing river. Dogs are not allowed, so be sure to make arrangements for Fido.

Because Boring is relatively rural, it’s easy to think that there isn’t much to do around here. A Boring motorhome rental makes it easy to explore the countryside and find all the little out-of-way quaint towns, farms, and local businesses. There are several “u-pick” farms, and roadside produce stands in the area. There’s nothing like a basketful of freshly harvested berries, still warm from the sun.

Portland’s motto is: “Keep Portland Weird.” Indeed, Portland residents have embraced their quirky, off-beat selves, and it makes for an interesting vibe in the town. Artisans, crafters, and other idiosyncratic businesses flourish in the town. Stroll the downtown neighborhood where food trucks dish up an eclectic fare, and hole-in-wall shops display their unconventional products.

Swing by the Portland Saturday Market where hundreds of vendors congregate to display and sell their wares. Stop at Powell’s Books on Pearl Street, which is one of the city’s most famous landmarks. Thriving in spite of the Internet age, it hosts over 500 author events annually, writer’s workshops, and even game sessions. All animals at the Oregon Zoo are rescued from private owners and facilities and given a second chance at life. The habitats are designed to be as open as possible to not only give visitors a unique glimpse into the animals’ daily lives but also to help the animals have a healthy environment that resembles their native homelands.

A Boring RV rental opens up a world of possibilities. Ignore the rain and make an adventure of a lifetime as you explore this vast area with family and friends.
