Situated on the banks of Thomas Creek in northwestern Oregon, the town of Scio is situated between two larger Oregon cities: Albany, and the capital city of Salem.

Scio is no exception, especially with its convenient location putting it in easy reach of some of Oregon’s many state parks and forests. With this perfect middle ground, adventurers to the Pacific Northwest should look to Scio to begin their journey.

When you book an RV in Linn County, you open yourself up to the magical playground that is the Pacific Northwest. With easy access to mountains, forests, and the occasional babbling brook, Scio offers travelers to Oregon a wonderful home base.

Discover Scio


The Great Outdoors

Just northwest of town is the Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge near Salem, Oregon. With a couple of different trails to choose from, each highlighting its own marsh or pond, you will be able to see several different habitats in the refuge. The Ankeny Refuge is a popular spot for birders, with everything from waterfowl to songbirds to even raptors. Be sure to stay quiet and keep your eye out for sandpipers, bluebirds, and even bald eagles, plus many, many more.

Just a little ways north of Scio is the Silver Falls State Park near Silverton, Oregon. At Silver Falls, visitors can enjoy hiking through the forest, along the rivers and streams, and the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Silver Falls is often considered to be one of the best state parks in Oregon, and it isn’t surprising once you see it. There is one particularly famous trail in the park: The Trail of Ten Falls. Along this roughly seven-mile loop, you will not only get to see ten different waterfalls, but you will even be able to walk behind one of them, allowing you a truly unique view of nature’s power and beauty.

If you’re looking to get a little farther away with your Scio camper rental, then head to Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve in Yachats, Oregon. More specifically, head for a drive along the protected seashore or even take a seaside cliff hike. You’ll be able to see some dramatic cliff faces as they abruptly meet the Pacific Ocean and maybe even see a tidal pool or two. You can also spend some time in the neighboring Siuslaw National Forest in Corvallis, Oregon, where you can also explore the beaches, cliffs, and nearby forests.

RV Parks

When you secure a camper rental in Scio, be sure to secure a spot or two to park it at night. You will need to find a comfortable place to recharge for more exploring. Luckily enough, there are several places in the area worth considering.

To the southwest of town is the Blue Ox RV Park. At Blue Ox, guests will have access to full hookups, restroom and shower facilities, laundry facilities, and Wi-Fi. There is an exercise room and also a heated pool.

Northeast of Scio is the Sweetbrier Train & RV Park. Here, guests have access to full hookups, restroom facilities, and laundry facilities. There is also a small train you can ride through the forest that surrounds the park.

Explore the City

When you choose to reserve an RV rental in Scio, be sure to set aside some extra time to explore the community around you. While the beauty of the Pacific Northwest is absolutely breathtaking, you’ll want to break up your days of hiking with some days exploring the nearby towns.

Just a little way from Scio you can find an equestrian center. Here, you can sign up for a horseback trail ride or for your very own horseback riding lesson. You’ll get to learn more about these powerful but majestic animals as you spend part of your day with them.

If you’re looking for a low-key nature experience, then spend some time at Peavy Arboretum. Operated and cared for by Oregon State University, the Peavy Arboretum is practically an outdoor classroom. You can hike through the forest and learn about the native species that make up the region of the Pacific Northwest.

If you’re traveling with little ones, a day trip to the Enchanted Forest may be in order. This fairytale-themed amusement park is a delight for the senses, with carefully crafted buildings and attractions to make you feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook. There are several rides to enjoy plus several different shows to see.

During your journey through the Pacific Northwest, be sure to indulge in a local favorite: salmon. Whether you’re looking for a nice grilled piece of salmon or maybe some baked with lemon, you will definitely want to enjoy a fresh catch when you rent an RV in the Pacific Northwest. When you find yourself needing to restock your motorhome rental near Scio, be sure to plan accordingly. You will have the best luck in the nearby cities of Salem and Albany.
