That last few times I've visited Rockport I parked at the dayuse area, and walked the trails. My impression is that the old campground loops are baracaded off, but that my memory may be faulty. I've looked at the other campgrounds in the area (the county and the state one further west), but haven't used them. There's another county campground on the other side of the river.
I found out this past summer that South Whidbey Island State Park has the same problem - falling old growth.
My first experience in the area was in the 1980s, and living in Chicago. After a week camping in BC, we drove south on WA9 to 20, and spent the night at a camp ground on Baker Lake. All I had go one were the little tent symbols on the AAA state atlas.
The next day we crossed the Cascades (with a stop at rock garden behind the power house as Nehalem), and made it Sherman Pass for the next night. Then another day to Glacier NP.
