All right, a road trip! Glad they let you into the USA in spite of
having cat food...

Depending on your time factors, I might suggest a ferry ride to the
west side of Puget Sound then follow 101 around past Port Angeles
(there is a city campground, or was in PA if you are interested).
Follow 101 past Forks (watch for vampires...) and down to the
Columbia river. At that point you can head east towards the Columbia
gorge area. FWIW Ft Stevens (Oregon state park) is not a bad place to
stay. Oregon has no sales tax and nice state park campgrounds.

I wave at all the Vanagons I see <g>.
