Oregon Coast

Neskowin Creek RV Resort is about 8 miles north of Lincoln City, OR. Chinook Winds Casino Resort is in Lincoln City.

Spirit Mountain Casino is about 20 miles east of Lincoln City on OR-18. The Cedar Plank Buffet is excellent. The casino has a very large RV parking lot with no RV hookups. It has pet walk areas, free dump station, and free potable water station, 2 bus shelters with call buttons for the casino shuttle, and an easy walk to the convenience store with gas, diesel, propane, breakfast/lunch diner.

If you want a really first class resort, Pacific Shores near Newport is a good choice. Really stunning views, generous sites, and excellent facilities, but you pay for them.

We just did a reverse of what your going to do. We came up 101 N. from San Francisco. We found the Oregon cost to be beautiful. We stayed at the Ocean Front RV resort by Charleston, this was a great place, just steps away from a wonderful sandy beach. The second place was Lewis and Clark in Astoria. This is a great place to use as a home base for exploring the area. It has a 9 hole golf course as part of the CG but this shouldn't be the purpose of staying here. This is a very clean, safe, well run park. We plan on returning here in the future. Good luck and safe travels.

We did exactly that last year for a couple weeks although it was September and were able to get into state parks with no booking. Stayed at Cape Lookout, Carl G Washburn and Harris Beach State Parks. Awesome trip !!

I would start in the Astoria area for your first home base. If you are unable to stay at Ft Stevens SP, there are commercial places available. The next home base might be Newport. If you can get into any of the state parks, you are not going to be disappointed. South Beach or Beverly Beach are nice. While I might stay in the Reedsport area (Winchester Bay is highly recommended)you might find more to do in the Coos Bay/Charleston area. The last area would be Brookings, my favorite is Harris Beach which books out immediately. This is a beautiful area and also close to the redwoods near Crescent City. Have fun. Love to join you with my dog, the Oregon coast is a favorite of mine. My late wife and I would go there every summer for years.
