GRASS VALLEY RV PARK, OREGON
A LIFE OF ADVENTURE
Meet Israel
Owner, Grass Valley RV Park | Fellow Traveler
Growing up in Oregon, I’ve had the opportunity to explore many unique places and experience the breathtaking landscapes this beautiful state has to offer.
As a passionate fisherman, I spent decades exploring rivers and lakes, often hiking deep into remote areas in search of the perfect spot to cast a line.
In 2017, I successfully completed the Pacific Crest Trail, a five-month journey that introduced me to adventurous people from all walks of life and a wide variety of unique lifestyles. Along the way, I learned that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.
I was also inspired by the generosity of the trail angels I met, individuals who offered snacks, drinks, encouragement, and a place to freshen up after days spent in the mountains.
I have a deep passion for adventure and enjoy traveling to new places, including Alaska, Canada, and destinations throughout the lower 48 states.
Meeting fellow travelers on the road is an experience like no other. I enjoy hearing their stories, learning about their journeys, and discovering the incredible places they’ve explored.
The traveling community is made up of people from all walks of life, including cyclists, RVers, overlanders, motorcyclists, and solo nomadic travelers. My passion for travel continues to grow, and I will always be inspired by the travelers I meet from all corners of the world.
I look forward to welcoming you to our park!

Over the years, Grass Valley has remained a place where neighbors know one another, travelers are warmly welcomed, and the pace of life encourages visitors to slow down and appreciate the beauty of rural Oregon.
