Park Model RV Options (50–150 Miles from Portland)
Expanding our radius, there are several parks and communities further out – from the Oregon Coast, Willamette Valley, up to ~150 miles – that are known to host Park Model RVs or tiny houses. Some of these are specifically developed for park models or tiny homes, offering a ready-made community.

Confirmed Park Model-Friendly Parks (50–150 Mile Radius)
Hope Valley Resort (Turner, OR) – A dedicated tiny home village located just outside Salem (about 55 miles from Portland). This is not a typical RV park but rather a park model tiny home community. Homes are owner-occupied on leased sites – you purchase a park model home and lease the lot. They have beautifully landscaped plots and a high-end, minimalist vibe (no nightly rentals, no traditional RVs). If you’re ready to “go stationary” with your tiny RV, Hope Valley offers new park model homes for sale on-site. It’s essentially a long-term placement by design! Contact: (503) 371-0555 for sales/leasing info.

Devil’s Lake RV Park (Lincoln City, OR) – A welcoming coastal RV park (~85 miles from Portland) that explicitly embraces tiny homes. In fact, they advertise that they have “tiny homes on site for rent and for sale” for extended stays. The park has 90 sites (from standard RV spaces up to 80′ pull-thrus) and full hookups. Park Model RVs are allowed for long-term placement; you could also rent one of their on-site park model cottages if you want to try tiny living before buying. Address: 4041 NE West Devils Lake Rd, Lincoln City, OR 97367. Phone: (541) 994-3400. With the beach, casino, and shops of Lincoln City nearby, this is a fantastic spot for coastal tiny living. Monthly rates are available (around $606+electric for RV sites as of last check) – ask about their monthly tiny home rental rates if interested.
Tiny Tranquility Park (Waldport, OR) – One of the Pacific Northwest’s most unique developments: a park designed exclusively for tiny homes on wheels and vintage trailers. Located on the central Oregon Coast (about 130 miles from Portland), Tiny Tranquility offers long-term site rentals where you bring your own tiny house/Park Model and lease a site. They also have several nightly rental units for vacationers, but the core of the park is a community of full-time tiny dwellers. Amenities include a clubhouse, gardens, greenhouse, dog park, and even ocean beach access nearby. Address: 4399 SW Eriksen Ave, Waldport, OR 97394. Contact: (541) 351-8079 or via their website. Expect a waitlist, as this park is very popular. If you can snag a spot, you’ll be among like-minded tiny home enthusiasts in a stunning coastal setting.
Wandering Spirit RV Park (Grand Ronde, OR) – Tucked in the forest about 60 miles SW of Portland (near Spirit Mountain Casino), Wandering Spirit is an RV campground that also offers Park Model cabin rentals. They have a few fully furnished park model units that you can rent daily, weekly, or monthly – which tells you that park models are part of the community. Standard RV sites (including long-term) are available too, with full hookups and a peaceful creekside location. Address: 39900 Highway 22, Grand Ronde, OR 97347. Phone: (503) 879-5700. If you have your own Park Model RV, the park management may allow you to set it up long-term, since they clearly are familiar with park models. (They even advertise themselves as Wandering Spirit RV Park & Park Model Sales in some listings!) Give them a call – the vibe is friendly and rustic, great for nature lovers.
Premier RV Resort – Eugene (Coburg, OR) – (Honorable mention) About 110 miles south of Portland, this upscale RV resort in Coburg is a long-term traveler’s dream (pool, hot tub, dog parks, etc.). They don’t explicitly list Park Models, but they do allow extended stays and have had custom “cottages” on-site. If your journey takes you toward Eugene and you need a spot for a Park Model, Premier is worth checking. Phone: (541) 686-3152. (Be mindful of their 10-year RV age rule; exceptions are made for well-maintained units.)

Silver Spur RV Park & Resort (Silverton, OR) – A 5-star RV resort in the Willamette Valley wine country (~50 miles from PDX). It offers daily, weekly, and monthly rates, with resort amenities like a pool and clubhouse.

Monthly rates start around $720 for standard sites. Address: 12622 Silverton Rd NE, Silverton, OR 97381. Phone: (503) 873-2020. Given their long-term focus (most sites are occupied by monthlies), a Park Model RV should be acceptable. Call to confirm dimensions and any approval process.
Phoenix RV Park (Salem, OR) – A highly regarded RV park in Salem (about 47 miles away) known for being “long term only” – they cater to full-timers and month-to-month residents. The park is fenced, beautifully maintained (Good Sam 9/10*/10 rating), and all 107 sites are full hookup with 30/50 amp. They have no issue with Park Models as long as the unit is in good shape (their community already has many extended-stay rigs). Address: 4130 Silverton Rd NE, Salem, OR 97305. Phone: (503) 581-2497. Management here is friendly but firm on rules (e.g., they enforce cleanliness and quietness), which is a plus if you want a peaceful spot for your tiny home.
Oak Harbor RV Village (Sutherlin, OR) – (Beyond 150 miles? roughly 160 mi South) – This one’s just outside our 150-mile range, but worth a note for southern Willamette Valley travelers. It’s a tiny home village/RV park hybrid on a private lake that has allowed park model tiny homes. If you happen to be looking farther south, keep it on your radar.
Others to Consider: Yakima River RV Park (Ellensburg, WA) – if headed north beyond 150 miles, some WA parks like this allow park models; Bend/Sisters Garden RV Resort (Sisters, OR) – a gorgeous park (about 160 miles from Portland) where park models are present as rentals; any Thousand Trails or Encore resort – many TT/Encore parks in Oregon (Seaside, Whalers Rest, South Jetty, etc.) have annual lease sites where you can place a park model or leave an RV year-round, though membership may be required for access.
