To enjoy the best of the valley, begin your journey with a night at the All Inclusive Lavish Bed & Breakfast at Sweet Springs Family Farm in Cottage Grove. This family-managed bed and breakfast has a wonderful country feel.

Things to do:
  • Take the Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway for a two-wheeled tour of the area's historic covered bridges.
  • Explore the area's Hollywood history with visits to filming sites. 
  • Visit the area's many waterfalls.
  • Follow the South Willamette Valley Food Trail through wine country to your second RV stop.

Once you have explored Cottage Grove, head north to Junction City's Bish's RV Park. This spot is the perfect basecamp for tasting your way through the South Willamette Valley Food Trail and which includes noteworthy stops like the Creswell Bakery, Camas Country Mill, MarcheWalnut Ridge Winery and Alesong Brewing & Blending. Each stop is unique and so delicious! Fill your picnic basket with take out and buy a bottle of wine to enjoy at a lovely wayside stop or call ahead and make a reservation for onsite tasting and dining. 

 

The Cascade Loop

Hiking & Hot Springs

During the warm months when most of the snow has melted off the Cascades, the Aufderheide Scenic Byway connects Highway 126 (Mckenzie River Hwy) and Highway 58. For a loop that gives you the best of nature, begin your journey by gaining some elevation from Eugene to Oakridge. In Oakridge, you can stay at either Casey's Riverside RV Park or the Arbor Inn Oakridge RV Park

Things to do:

From Westfir/Oakridge, travel the Aufderheide Scenic Byway north to the McKenzie River Highway. There is plenty of natural beauty along the way so give yourself time to explore. Once on the other side, you can find a nice place to park your rig along the river near luxurious hot springs at Belknap Hot Springs in the McKenzie River corridor. Belknap offers beautiful gardens to wander and two large pools filled with the healing mineral-rich waters.

The Coastal Loop

Adventure & Discovery

The Oregon Coast is full of stunning views and charming towns, but we think our little stretch of coastline might be the best. This loop begins in Eugene where you can stock up before heading in the direction of the Pacific. Spend the night at either Eugene Kamping World or Premier RV Resorts. For a more natural setting, Richardson Park beside Fern Ridge Lake and Armitage Park on the McKenzie River are both excellent options.

Things to do:

When the toys are fueled up and the fridge is full, head toward Florence for a world of adventure. In Florence, Heceta Beach RV Park and Jessie Honeyman State Park are both great places to stay for RVers. You'll be close to the beach and not far from Historic Old Town Florence where the best seafood is waiting for you.
