The long reads
The Astoria guide
The rule treats vehicles above standard passenger thresholds as restricted in residential zones; the practical effect is that the legal basecamp is Fort Stevens State Park (Oregon State Parks, 10 mi out), which offers Full hookups on 174 sites; electric on 304 on rigs up to 55 ft at $30/night. Astoria is the oldest U.S. settlement west of the Rocky Mountains (1811) and the western terminus of the Lewis and Clark Trail.
Two adjacent public lands extend the playbook for renters whose trip plan extends beyond city limits: Fort Stevens State Park and Cape Disappointment State Park (WA across river). The two arterials worth scenic-drive time are Pacific Coast Highway (US-101) and Lewis and Clark Discovery Loop. Tank-dump access lives at Fort Stevens State Park; propane at U-Haul of Astoria on 2030 Marine Dr, Astoria, OR 97103. Aim for Mid-May through September; skip November through April.
The single most expensive mistake locals see arriving rigs make is trying to drive a Class A on the astoria-megler bridge in high-wind advisories, and it bridge wind closures at 50+ mph sustained winds, common oct-march.
When to come
Best: Mid-May through September — Columbia River mouth green season with cooling Pacific breezes.
Skip: November through April — Pacific atmospheric river events and Columbia Bar storm advisories.
