Escape Campervan Rentals - Portland

Hit the Road in a Camper Van — One-Way Trips Available from Portland

Oregon is tailor-made for camper van travel. The Oregon Coast stretches for hundreds of miles of dramatic cliffs, sea stacks, sand dunes, and tide pools. The Cascades rise to the east, with volcanic peaks, crater lakes, and old-growth forests filling in the landscape in between. Portland sits right in the middle of it all — a short hop from the airport to the open road.

Pick up your van near Portland International Airport and go. The Oregon Coast is less than two hours west. Crater Lake is four hours south. Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge are both within an hour. The Willamette Valley wine country is right outside the city. For longer trips, one-way rentals are available — pick up in Portland and drop off in Seattle, San Francisco, Denver, or any other location across the U.S.

The compact minivan-based fleet handles winding coastal roads and mountain passes well, fits in standard campsite spots, and makes stealth camping possible in a way that a full-size RV never could.
