There are so many things to do in the Willamette Valley with easy access to biking, hiking, or the spectacular Oregon Coast can be visited on a day trip. The RV Park is close to McMinnville, a charming town with many tasting rooms, shops, and great restaurants.

All of these optional events are ala carte and require separate payment at a later date.
