Explore Culver, Oregon in an RVshare RV Rental

Culver, Oregon, which has a population of about 1,500 people, was founded in the late 1800s and incorporated in 1946. The city was named by its original postmaster and founder, Orace Collver. In 1911, when the railroad was built, the entire town was uprooted and moved, sometimes a piece at a time, to be closer to the trains. Many townspeople used the old lumber and building materials from their houses to make new ones.

Today, Culver is a picturesque spot located near several state parks and national forests. Most of its residents are farmers, and the temperate weather throughout the summer provides an ideal climate for growing things like potatoes, garlic, mint, and alfalfa. Culver is located in the high desert, so although the town does see about 6 inches of snow every year, most days are clear and dry.

Although it's a relatively small town, Culver attracts thousands of visitors every year who come to explore the local landscape, take in the beautiful scenery, and use the town as a jumping-off point for hiking, biking, camping, fishing, sailing, and, of course, RVing. Visitors can also enjoy lunch, dinner, or coffee at one of the town's four restaurants. A local crawdad festival takes place every August.
