First Trip Through US in Washington and OREGON

Hi I will be taking an RV trip with a family that is from China .
They want to see the USA and we are taking a 14 day trip in an RV.
I have travelled often through the western states but spent most of my time sight seeing in California not Washington and Oregon.
They have children and I would like them to see the beaches on the ocean and the Redwoods. Also the children would like waterslides.
I know there is a lot more to see. What do the people on this site think are do not miss places? also an campgrounds that would be nice to stay at. We will be travelling first two weeks in august are we too late to book sites? Thanks for taking the time to help me out ...

    The OR Coast is spectacular - we will be back there again later this summer / fall. Also Columbia Gorge and Crater Lake. Coast in WA is a waste of time.

    Amusement Parks? You can do them all kinds of places in the world! Drive hours away to go to an amusement park and spend hours there - waste a day. If they like waterslides they must like water - what better / different than the beaches of OR.

    So much beauty to see of all kinds. And, of course, ice cream at Tillamook Cheese Factory.

    Places to stay will be tough to get without reservations. I make mine a year in advance for OR Coast so I can stay where I want and not get leftovers. Will you find places in August. You might but do not count on it.

    Enjoy!
