Top 7 RV Adventures in the Northwest
We composed the Top 7 RV Adventures which includes a rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula, marine life on the Oregon Coast, outdoor activities near the Cascade Mountains and more! Adventure up with RVs Northwest by visiting one of our Top 7 RV Adventures in the Inland Northwest.
Visit a Rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula
Looking for a tropical or exotic stay in paradise? The thick and lush vegetation leave no question that this is one of the most unique and calming places near the Inland Northwest. One of our favorite destinations is the Hoh Rainforest on the west side of the Olympic National Park. What makes this park so special is that its unique ecosystem has remained untouched for thousands of years and it is now the most carefully preserved rain forest in the northern hemisphere. The park is huge giving plenty of options for RV Parks or outdoor areas to set up camp!
Explore the Oregon Coast at Oswald State Park
The Oregon Coast known for its imposing cliffs and sandy beaches but many of the local gems are often forgotten. Scuba Diving near the Oregon Coast provides endless marine life – the sight is much better than an indoor aquarium. Hiking on Oregon Coast forests, beaches and lookouts provide endless possibilities for finding the best spots.
Oswald State Park is the perfect location to admire the coast’s pristine views by traveling along the trails which lead to beaches, lookouts, and forests. RV sites are endless along the Oregon Coast, so traveling is easy. If you explore the Oswald State Park then Nehalem Shores RV Park is popular or the RV Resort at Cannon Beach is close too.
Discover the Cascade Mountain Ranges at Artist Point
Located in the upper Northwest corner of Washington, Artist Point is the perfect place to experience the beauty of the cascade mountain range. Compared to other mountain hiking experiences, Artist point boasts easy accessibility meaning the area is great for family or those looking to enjoy their experience from the ease of their RV.
The destination attracts many visitors but those looking for a more rustic or solitary experience away from people only must travel about five minutes down any of the hundreds of trails to do so. Artist Point is covered in snow during all but the summer seasons which, despite the short window of time to visit, contributes to beautiful scenery. Rocky outcrops, wild blueberries, tiny streams, and summer snow sledding are all made possible by the high altitude and it is all an experience you do not want to miss.
Lost Lake at Willamette National Forest
If you are looking for something unique but a bit further away from civilization, consider a trip to Lost Lake at Willamette National Forest. During the winter season this lake fills up and spring arrives it thaws into a lush seasonal meadow. Conveniently, the lake has nearby campgrounds with 14 spots for setup, toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables.
Things to Do in Weird and Wacky Portland
Portland is not exactly a nature experience, but this city is certainly a good reminder of what makes us human. While we are sure you will get quite the experience just by walking down the streets. For your adventure we composed the top things to do in Portland, OR.
Visit the Creepy and Halloween-Like Museum: Freakybuttrue Peculiarium
The Freakybuttrue Peculiarium and Museum is now more than 50 years old. At the museum you can experience an alien abduction experience, a zombie apocalypse, or being buried alive! This is the perfect place to visit near the Halloween holiday.
Experience the Fictional Wonders of The Zymoglyphic Museum
“The Zymoglyphic Museum is the world's only institution devoted to the study and display of art, artifacts, and natural history of the Zymoglyphic region.” This museum was created by Jim Stewart and is more of an art style for people who love weird creatures. Stewart’s style is a cross between sculpting and taxidermy – allowing for a unique “steampunk” look. It is almost like you are viewing a wicked creature you read about in J.R.R. Tolkien book.
Adventure in Cathedral Park for Outdoor Scenery and Cathedral Architecture
For a break from some of the weirdness, check out Cathedral Park which features a bridge passing right through that mimics many architectural themes present in cathedrals. We suggest looking into Columbia River RV Park due to its high ratings but there are also many other options in the Portland, OR area.
