#FREE BOONDOCKING AROUND FLORENCE OREGON FREE#

While it wasn’t below freezing much, the wind chill was significant. We have a heater to prevent this from happening, but we hadn’t set it up yet. When we woke up our freshwater inlet pipes were frozen since they were exposed to cold temps in the wet bay. Even then, I couldn’t sleep because the wind was so loud all night and I was freaking out that it was going to knock us over even though Penguin assured me that wasn’t going to happen. We realized quickly we would need to bring in all our pop-out slides making it a little tight. This is not typical since our motorhome self-levels so that gives you an idea of the slope of this parking lot.Īnother downside was the freezing temperatures and high winds that started in the evening and went all night long. Our front tires and jacks were on blocks but not the back tires or jacks. The view of Mount Hood was spectacular, but one downside was that the parking lot was on a significant slope so lots of leveling blocks were needed. It was the end of October so no permit was required.

This parking lot is a free boondocking spot, except that a Sno Park permit is required from November 1 - April 30. Our plan was to stay two nights in the White River West Sno-Park parking lot near Mount Hood so we could explore the area. We left Portland and started our journey to Bend.
