Tell me about the 101 along the coast of Oregon
Starting to plan a month long trip in September to the west coast. Tell me how the drive is from Astoria down the coast. Will be driving a 42' Winnebago and Jeep toad.

You are doing the right direction North to South, Ft Stevens is a good place to camp since it is close to the Lewis and Clark exhibits and the light house. The OR St Parks are great and there are a lot of them. Reservations are really needed if you need hookups and on weekends during the high season or like sites near the water. Most do have at least some non reserve sites and we have found getting in early afternoon generally works weekdays. Tillamook Cheese stop is cool and the Old blimp hanger if still open is worth a visit and the Spruce Goose Air Museum is not far off 101. Harris Beach St Park is good near the Ca Border and is only a couple hours drive to the Red Woods. Also a fun boat ride down the river. You won't have any problem finding things to do.
