Pacific Northwest RV Camping – Redwoods, Painted Hills, Oregon Coast, Mt Hood & more

Exploring the Pacific Northwest with an RV for amazing views, hiking & boondocking adventures.

We kept our itinerary loose for this trip, but our general plan was to do an rough loop starting outside of Portland at Mount St Helens in Washington state, all the way down the Oregon coast to the Redwoods in northern California, back over to interior Oregon to Crater Lake and the Painted Hills, and ending at Mt Hood before returning our motorhome rental in Portland.

Filming Date – Summer, Mid July 2020

Day 1

  • Pick up the RV outside of Portland, Oregon
  • Head north 1.5 hours to Washington state
  • Mount St Helens Johnston Ridge Observatory
