This small charming town is the perfect size and fit for those that would like to book an RV in Clark County and see the gorgeous Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Vancouver is close to Seattle, Portland, and a whole host of National Parks and Forests that will make you fall in love with this incredible area.

To the southwest, you can visit pleasant Tillamook and adjacent Tillamook National Forest, in the state of Oregon, another fabulous motorhome rental state.
