In summer, a timed-use permit is often required for the busiest stretch of the gorge around Multnomah Falls — check the current season’s rules. Oregon State Parks campgrounds, hugely popular on the coast, are reserved online. Dispersed camping is possible in Mount Hood national forest; overnighting in a vehicle on Portland streets is banned.

Observed range: €45–90 per day depending on season, model and platform. Van-Comparator compares the real prices published at the time of your search.

Is it easy to drive and park in Portland?

A gentle city for big vehicles: many but wide bridges, flat neighbourhoods, campgrounds twenty minutes from downtown. The Columbia Gorge runs along the I-84; the old Historic Highway, narrow and waterfall-lined, is best savoured in a short van outside weekends. On Mount Hood, chains can be required from November.
