Does Oregon's no-sales-tax rule really matter for RVers?

Pleasantly, yes — wine cases, cheese hauls, and gear restocks all ring up exactly at sticker price. Combined with host purchases you were making anyway, Oregon is where the membership's economics feel best at the register.

Is Harvest Hosts worth it for Oregon RV trips?

Strongly — coastal and wine-country campgrounds run $45–80/night and summer books early, so the $99/year Classic membership pays for itself in about two nights. One 101-plus-Willamette loop covers it with the cheese thrown in.

Oregon RV Camping Guide

The Oregon Coast

Oregon's public coastline stretches for approximately 363 miles, with beach towns, sea stacks, lighthouses, working harbors, and forested state parks along the way. Cannon Beach, Newport, Florence, Coos Bay, and Brookings all make useful anchors for a coastal trip, while smaller communities provide seafood markets, galleries, and quieter viewpoints. US-101 is scenic but often narrow and curving — RV travelers should allow more time than the mileage suggests, use designated pullouts, and check for construction or weather-related closures. Never turn your back on the ocean, climb on unstable driftwood, or approach seals and other wildlife.

Portland, Mount Hood, and the Columbia River Gorge

Portland gives travelers access to food carts, museums, gardens, and neighborhoods, while the nearby Columbia River Gorge offers waterfalls, hiking trails, and dramatic river views. Popular areas can become extremely busy, especially on summer weekends. Some Gorge attractions, trailheads, or scenic areas may require timed-use permits, parking reservations, or seasonal restrictions, so check current rules before arriving and don't assume a large RV will fit at every waterfall or trailhead.

The Willamette Valley

Pinot noir made this valley famous, and vineyard stays put members inside the postcard — tasting rooms among the oaks between Portland and Eugene, hazelnut orchards filling the flats. Harvest (September–October) is the valley at maximum charm.

Southern Oregon

The Rogue Valley's warm-climate wineries around Medford and Ashland stage a region that deserves more than a pass-through — Crater Lake's impossible blue sits ninety minutes up the hill, and Shakespeare plays nightly in season. California begins over the Siskiyou Summit.

Eastern Oregon and the High Desert

The Painted Hills, Wallowa alps, and ranch country east of the Cascades hold Oregon's wide-open secret — golden light, empty two-lanes, and hosts where the night sky is the amenity. Services spread out; plan fuel accordingly.

When is the best time to RV camp in Oregon?

Late spring through early fall offers the broadest access, but the best season depends on the region. Summer is generally driest west of the Cascades, while the coast can remain cool and windy. Eastern and Central Oregon may be hot during the day and much colder overnight. Late summer and early fall can bring wildfire smoke or closures anywhere in the state, so check weather, air quality, and road conditions throughout the trip rather than relying only on the forecast from your starting point.

Can I take my RV to Crater Lake?

Yes — the park's main roads handle RVs, though the full Rim Drive is narrow in stretches and typically fully open only from around July into October after the winter snowpack melts. Many members base at a Rogue Valley host and day-trip up; check current road status before going.

Is overnight RV parking legal in Oregon?

Portland and coastal towns enforce restrictions, and popular pullouts fill fast in summer. Harvest Hosts stays skip the shuffle: an invited overnight on private property with the host's permission — a vineyard estate over a gravel turnout.

How does RV camping at Harvest Hosts work in Oregon?

Harvest Hosts is an annual membership that lets RVers stay overnight at 183 Oregon wineries, farms, creameries, and attractions with no camping fees. Members request stays through the app, arrive in a self-contained RV, and support their hosts with a purchase — a wheel of coastal cheese, a bottle of estate pinot, or deli provisions for the 101.

Oregon might be the most complete RV state in America: a public-access coastline with a farm-cheese-and-deli host that ranks among the most-booked in the entire network, a wine valley with a global reputation, and high desert painted in colors that don't look real. Travelers can follow the Oregon Coast, explore the Columbia River Gorge, spend a few days among Willamette Valley farms and wineries, or head east for quieter highways and wide-open scenery — Oregon's seven travel regions each offer a noticeably different experience, making the state especially well suited for long RV routes. Oregon has 183 Harvest Hosts locations across all of it — and no sales tax on anything you buy along the way. Member-favorite stops include Artisan Cheese & Deli Stop with Petting Farm, Historic Rogue Valley Winery, and Historic Vineyard Estate Retreat — the state's three most-booked hosts, one of which we've toured on the blog. Members can choose from 50 farm stays, 49 wineries, and 10 breweries statewide.
