RV Rental Tillamook, OR

Tillamook Bay is an amazingly scenic place to spend time outdoors when you book a motorhome rental. Tillamook Bay is a small inlet of the Pacific Ocean which gathers water from five rivers in northern Oregon. Six miles long and two miles wide, the Tillamook Bay is protected from the open ocean by shoals and a sandbar known as the Bayocean Peninsula. Because the stone breakwater at Tillamook Bay’s mouth is less than a quarter-mile wide, during bad weather, waves can get up to 33 feet high at the harbor entrance.

Tillamook State Forest is absolutely stunning. Encompassing 364,000 acres, craggy mountains emerge fearlessly above clear rivers where salmon and steelhead journey back to their birthplace to spawn. Majestic elk wander through lush forests as squirrels dart through shrubs and across treetops. Explore Tillamook State Forest on foot, horseback, or mountain bike. At the end of the day, there are eight developed campgrounds that offer a variety of features, so rent an RV, and come on down. Also, be sure to visit the Tillamook Forest Center to learn more about the place.

You can also experience Tillamook in a rather unconventional way with Oregon Coast Railriders. Enjoy the unique adventure of pedaling a four-person, pedal-powered railroad bicycle on an inactive section of the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad. While pedaling, you will encounter a wide variety of landscapes including grassy tidal estuaries, forests, meadows, dairy farms, and waterfronts all painted against stunning mountains. The trip starts in Bay City and goes to Tillamook and back for a total of 12 miles roundtrip.
