About Mark Cobb

Big Paw Tours was founded 20 years ago in Colorado when two adventure-seeking best friends decided to take their hobby and turn it into a business. Their vision was to share a love of camping and adventure with other campers – both experienced travelers and novices alike. After fully exploring Colorado, we began looking westward and decided it was time to pack our bags, check the air in our tires and set a broader course to pursue the dream. From the Redwood Forest to Zion National Park and many memories in-between, it became clear that the next adventure for Big Paw Tours was in the Pacific Northwest. We set up “camp” in Portland, Oregon, where we currently operate our first-class touring and thrill-seeking fleet. With Oregon as the ultimate outdoor playground, the business has grown and matured over time. And our adventures have only begun. You never know where the road will take you in life. But one thing is for sure; family and making memories are two of the most important things in the world. The Big Paw family is passionate about family adventure, the outdoors and the open road. That’s the foundation for our commitment to your complete trip satisfaction. Having the experience and knowledge of what can make a trip pleasant (or unpleasant), Big Paw Tours is designed to ensure 100% enjoy-ability while minimizing the stress at every corner.

Mark was a great host-- got us all set up, checked in to see if things were going well, and was super easy to work with.

I solo traveled through Oregon and Washington, to explore the area and go on hikes in the Nationalparks. I had an amazing time, and the van was fantastic - very simple, but the bed is comfortable, there is a lot of storage space, equipment for cooking etc was included, and the driving is very smooth. Mark was a great host, he explained and showed me everything important in the beginning, and he is communicative and flexible. I can just recommend!

Mark was the BEST host. We were RV newbies and had a LOT of questions, especially in the first few days. Mark was super available and helpful. RV was comfortable and ran great. We had a blast!

Mark was helpful and easy to communicate with. He handled changes smoothly for us. We also loved the van! It had all the essentials we needed to camp from out of town and was comfortable for sleeping & driving 5 of us around. Will rent again on our next trip to the area. Thanks Mark!

It was our very first time renting/driving an RV and it was such a great experience! Mark was fantastic with communication and you can tell he really wants to set up his rental clients up for success. His RV was as described in photos, and we had a great orientation for the ins and outs of everything we needed to have a great camping trip. He was available for all questions and you can tell he knows the rig inside and out. We were a little nervous but turns out we just had to get used to it. We loved our trip and can't wait to do it again!
