RV parking for patients by reservation
Restricted from public use
RV spaces are provided, as available, for OHSU patients and their family members free of charge. Spaces are limited in size and number. OHSU's RV lot is strictly limited to people with prior approved reservations and a direct association with an OHSU inpatient. A patient appointment and reservation confirmation are required. Unauthorized vehicles or vehicles that impede authorized access will be ticketed and removed to ensure access for patient reservations. To make a reservation, please email commute@ohsu.edu.
To qualify for OHSU RV parking: A patient or relative of a patient in an active treatment program at OHSU must occupy the RV. Patients and their families will be accommodated on a space available basis.
If we are unable to accommodate your vehicle: A variety of RV accommodations are located in the Portland Metro Region. Patient passenger vehicles that fit in normal size parking spaces are welcome at no charge and at all hours in patient parking areas only. Please contact the clinic associated with your healthcare appointments for additional resources.
Please review the eligibility requirements below to ensure we can accommodate your needs. We recognize the difficulty in planning ahead for some hospital visits, but as a courtesy to other patients, please notify us as soon as possible if your reservation must change, be cancelled or extended.
