7 Reasons RVing in the PNW Feels Different

There’s a moment that happens in the Pacific Northwest. You step outside, take a breath, and you’ll notice it. A mix of salt in the air and cool mountain freshness that feels grounding and familiar all at once. I was born and raised here, spent a decade away exploring the country and the world, and yet that feeling always pulled me back. Some places you visit. Others stay with you.

This episode explores RVing in the Pacific Northwest through the seven things that make it so special. From weather that shapes the land instead of disrupting it, to seasons that reward patience and flexibility, the PNW teaches a different way to travel. Forests, rivers, and coastlines create a rhythm you learn to follow, not fight. Mountains reveal themselves on their own terms, long summer daylight stretches travel days, and quieter moments invite you to slow down and stay awhile.

Along the way, we dig into the state parks, public lands, and waterways that make RV travel here so accessible and rewarding. This is a region where boondocking feels endless, campgrounds sit inside living landscapes, and outdoor recreation is always close by. If you’ve ever wondered why RVers fall hard for the Pacific Northwest, or why once you travel here it becomes the benchmark for everywhere else, this episode tells that story.
