Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, Oregon, Spring Creek Dispersed Camping

Written by Steve Johnson
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest seemed like the perfect place for Sash and I to set up camp for a couple of weeks, just to get away from the Summer’s heat in Tri-Cities, WA. We found an area called “Spring Creek”, located along, of course, Spring Creek Rd, a dirt path that takes further deep into...

White River West Sno-Park – Free RV Boondocking in Oregon

Written by Steve Johnson
White River West Sno-Park is one of many “Sno-Parks” in Oregon. These are effectively parking lots, or roadside parking areas, where people can park their vehicles and enjoy time playing in the snow. Sno-Parks are operated by the U.S. Forest Service and many of them are kept closed during the warmer months. However, there...

Memaloose State Park Campground, Oregon – Review

Written by Steve Johnson
Memaloose State Park Campground is located on the Columbia River Gorge, about halfway between Portland and The Dalles, along I-84. It’s perhaps one of Oregon’s busiest state campgrounds. I arrived Sunday, September 2, 2018, on a Labor Day Weekend. I was fortunate to find the last remaining campsite, for just this night, on the...

Baker Valley Rest Area – Free Overnight RV Parking

Written by Steve Johnson
Of all the rest areas we’ve stayed at in Oregon, Baker Valley Rest Area is the most quiet. For whatever reason, the 25 spaces set aside for trucks and RVs largely remained empty (except for us) the entire night we stayed here. The lot is not level. It slopes down towards the southwest. Your...

Premier RV Resort of Salem, OR

Written by Steve Johnson
Premier RV Resort of Salem, OR is one of a chain of resorts falling under the “Premier RV Resort” moniker. These RV resorts seemingly offer nicer looking grounds, though from our perspective what makes these parks nicer looking is that they’ve priced the rates higher to attract wealthier campers. Otherwise, this RV Resort still...

Beaver Marsh Rest Area, Oregon – Free Overnight RV Parking

Written by Steve Johnson
As far as rest areas go, Beaver Marsh Rest Area, along US-97, just 5 miles south of Chemult, OR, is not that spectacular. It’s looks rather old, and definitely in need of a remodeling. And, it’s not necessarily that quiet, despite being located on a US highway rather than an interstate. But with 25...

I'm a "Man in Black", one of those guys who goes around dressed in black suits, looking for people who were abducted by UFOs so that we can keep them quiet. Sash and I travel around in this trailer awaiting orders from headquarters for my next assignment. I can't show you the details of my work, but I can show you how I live.
