I toured the Oregon Coast with my Vanagon 2 years ago; from the 
California border to Astoria.� It's ALL very nice in summer.� Careful of
 some campgrounds near marshes...blood-thirsty mosquitoes (if in doubt, 
ask the ranger at the pay booth before you check in).� The first 
campground we stayed at when entering Oregon was Harris Beach, right on 
the ocean:�

 It would be worth it to pay extra for a reservation and get sites A24 
or A25....ocean views, privacy, hot showers.� There was one couple on 
their honeymoon there!� (....decorated car, etc.)� The entire campground is nice, but those ocean view sites are really good.� Even blackberry vines...oh yeah, an ice-cream truck came through the campground around 8 pm...not everybody's idea of a good thing but we liked it (fresh berries on a half-melted ice-cream sandwich on a balmy summer night!)

In general, was very impressed with Oregon State Parks and 
campgrounds....and there are� a LOT of them along that coastline.� 
Perfect in August.

Me and my girlfriend will be cruising Oregon, along the coast, the weekend
of August 13. I've surfed the web researching available camping of all
sorts. Lots of good information there, but it would be foolish to not
exploit the wisdom of the list. Any information is welcome, along with any
advice. If you have a location that is dear to you, it can be shared
privately. I've camped along this coastline before, but did not have the
five days I have now.
Thanks,
Miguel
