Ashland sits on I-5 about 15 miles north of the California border, accessible from exits 14 and 19. From Medford, take I-5 south about 15 minutes. From California, I-5 climbs over the Siskiyou Pass (elevation 4,310 feet) which can require chains in winter and features steep grades that demand attention with larger rigs. Highway 66 east connects to Klamath Falls through the rural Cascade foothills. Downtown Ashland has narrow streets that can challenge larger rigs, so plan to drive your tow vehicle or take the local bus (RVTD) for downtown exploration. Fuel stations are available at the I-5 exits. A Shop 'n Kart grocery store near the freeway handles daily needs, with Medford's larger stores 15 minutes north.
