We've traveled the Oregon coast many times and our 40' motorhome fits in quite a few state parks. Using public parks are always our first choice - national parks, state parks, forest service, COE, county and city parks. We had no problems with our 40'. I would suggest getting a RV that is comfortable for you and one you can live in for a long period of time. Big holding tanks are a big plus especially with children.
We have never HAD to stay at private RV parks because of our size.
Look at particular state parks on their reservation site and you'll be able to get an idea of what size RV will fit in the park. The site will give the length of the parking space. Tents are very doable but if you take long trips it becomes a chore sometimes, especially in rainy areas such as the Oregon coast. You'll always be packing it away wet. For a weekend it would be great.
