Valley River Center Mall – Eugene Oregon
A few seasons ago, while on our annual trek south to the 🏁 NASCAR Races, in our recreational vehicle, we decided on a different route to our final destination; 🏜 Phoenix International Raceway. 🏜
After reviewing and receiving information from the {Good Sam Club} camping forum, we decided to follow the recommendations of others and park overnight at the …
🏬 Valley River Center Mall 🏬
Superb 🚌 RV Parking and 🛍 Shopping at Valley River Center Mall, in Eugene, Oregon. Traveling from our home in …
it’s always nice to stop in the {State of Oregon} to do some 🛍 shopping.
Oregon does not presently have a general sales or use/transaction tax. So by stopping here, we were able to check this boondocking spot out at that time, as well as do some shopping, the next morning.
Excellent Overnight Secure Parking
After getting directions prior to our departure from home, I set the {GPS} and eventually, made our way to this shopping mall, in the City of Eugene. This was after our first overnight stop at the beautiful … 🏨 Tulalip Casino Resort Hotel 🏨 in Washington State.
This is an outstanding resort, offering complimentary overnight parking for; 🚌 self-contained recreational vehicles. Upon our arrival in the early evening, I easily spotted two other 🚌 RV’s, that were parked in the northwest corner lot.
This is where others on the forum, had instructed where to go and park. Not 10 minutes passed and a Valley River Center Mall 👮 Security Staff member drove up and introduced himself. We filled out a simple 📝 registration form with emergency contact information, should we need assistance throughout the night.
The security guard was very friendly and advised that we could stay overnight, for 2 nights and that they are on duty; 24 hours a day. What a pleasant surprise this was, making us very happy that we chose to stay here, and do our shopping at their Mall, the next morning!
The Valley River Mall
The Valley River Center Mall is the one of the largest shopping centers between; Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California. Shoppers will be pleased to discover over one hundred and thirty national and local brand stores located here.
There’s also a variety of restaurants to choose from, as well. A few of the more popular and recognizable stores include;
- ✔ Macy’s;
- ✔ JCPenney;
- ✔ Banana Republic;
- ✔ American Eagle Outfitters;
- ✔ Sports Authority;
- ✔ Foot Locker;
and much more!
As well and also attached to the Mall, you will find; 🎦 Regal Cinemas. If you arrive early, you can enjoy an evening at the movies if you so desire!
Willamette River Trail
If you travel with 🐕 pets as we do, you will also be pleasantly surprised, to discover an excellent 🚶 walking and 🚲 biking trail which is located, right alongside your parking spot. The trail is next to the Willamette River, where we enjoyed a nice evening stroll, after our days drive.
It’s also right next to the 🏨 Willamette River Inn, located adjacent to the Mall.
The next morning we walked the length of the trail along the river, before the stores opened. A great place to begin our tax free 🛍 shopping spree!
If you find your way to the City of Eugene in the State of Oregon, whether by RV or car, and wish to do some shopping, then I definitely recommend a stop at this Mall.
Below, I have listed the official website to the 🏬 Valley River Mall.
🗺 Be sure to check out the {Google Map} box at the bottom of this post for its exact location. 🗺
It appears the Mall no longer allows overnight RV parking according to latest updates, I’ve seen online. One individual on the forum called the {VRC Manager’s Office}, to see if RV parking, was still allowed. He was told at that time, they have now stopped allowing overnight RV parking.
Be sure to check with the Malls security to confirm this, when you arrive.
If you do have an update, please send me an 📧 email from my {Contact Page} here and I will update this post for others to see.
Even if you can’t park overnight, it’s still a great spot to take a break, stretch your legs on the trail and do some shopping.
