Aberdeen, WA to Portland, OR-What to See-Where to Stay

We will hit the area between Aberdeen and Portland tomorrow and would like recommendations on best routes and what to see. We would also like recommendations for campgrounds. Thanks

  • best route depends on where you are headed. The coast is nice, if headed South head out to 101
  • Any of the Washington state parks along the coast.

    WA105 takes you to beaches around Westport.

    US101 south follows Willapa Bay, a major oyster farming area. The other side of Willapa bay is Long Beach, a long dune beach resort area. Cape Disapointment is one of the most popular state parks, and includes of Lewis & Clark history.

    Astoria and FT Stevens is on the other side of the Columbia.
