Drive your RV into the wilderness or settle down at a campsite like the Old Mill RV Resort with all the amenities you could want.

RVshare has links to a wide range of Portland area rentals, with a variety of options you'll love. If friends and family are joining you on your trip and you want to travel comfortably at all times, choose a Class A motorcoach that can accommodate up to eight people with amenities that will make everyone feel at home. Couples and small groups might enjoy traveling in a compact Class B RV, which usually carries up to four people. These RVs are easier to drive and more adaptable to areas where roads are narrow, and space is limited. Class C RVs provide more space and storage than a Class B camper van but are smaller than a Class A motorhome.
