Explore the Tualatin Area

Bring your own rinse water if possible -- not all stations provide potable water for tank cleaning. Several locations offer fresh water fill-ups, but it's smart to top off your tank before dumping to ensure proper flushing. Pack extra hose length since some stations position the dump point farther from the RV parking area than you might expect.
Fuel up at the 76 station on Boones Ferry Road or the Shell on Tualatin-Sherwood Road -- both can accommodate RVs with proper maneuvering. For propane, Ferrellgas on Southwest 65th Avenue offers bottle exchanges and tank fills.
