Getting into a spot in a Oregon State Park on the coast with a 40 ft 5'er is also going to be a bit of a challenge.

With our 40' motorhome and Jeep we've stayed at these state parks Beverly Beach, Bullards Beach, Cape Blanco, Carl Washburne, Fort Stevens and Harris Beach.

Washburne & Cape Blanco don't even accept reservations. We loved Cape Blanco - awesome beach and definitely not crowded! Even though the others accept reservations we didn't have one. We traveled mid-week and pulled in early when folks just left.

Getting spot in Oregon State Park on the coast during summer is getting harder and harder - especially for multi day stay. Best chance is to wait until school is back in session. You should be able to find a spot in Sept without reservation so long as your not trying to stay on a weekend.

Getting into a spot in a Oregon State Park on the coast with a 40 ft 5'er is also going to be a bit of a challenge. When we had our pickup camper and the price was $17 we stayed at the Oregon State Parks a lot. We have driven through some of the same parks and picturing having our 42 ft 5'er behind us. The trees are close and if there is a tow vehicle part way in the road, we would not be able to go through without them moving.

Winchester Bay RV resort is a nice park.
So is Turtle Rock.
in Newport there is the Port of Newport’s South Beach Marina & RV Park . It's a lot of pavement, but the location is great.
Astoria, Oregon is a very interesting town. Lots of history. Fort Stevens State Park is an exception to the too small for bigger rigs rule. In Astoria; go to the Columbia River Maritime Museum
.
That's enough for now. KEN

Ashland area
Emigrant-Lake

Try to stay off I-5 as much as you can in Oregon to see the real Oregon. 97 going north and 101 going south would be better scenery.
If you go up to Crater Lake from Ashland; DO NOT take 66 with the 5'er. Highway 62 would be less of a grade.
In Prospect, Oregon is an rv park. It's close to the south entrance to Crater Lake NP. Leave the RV in Prospect or Diamond Lake.

I stayed at Emigrant Lake for a couple of days in October. Great views from most of the sites. An interesting reservation system - all reservations can only be made for two weeks in advance. This allows first come on any empty site, and, depending on when it is booked, up to 2 weeks stay available. Some photos of the campground on this and the next few pages.

Also full hookups are $30 and res fee of 8-10

Reservation are as follows -
Reservations may be made online/phone 15 days to 9 months (calendar days) in advance of the first night's stay

September is still very busy mid week on the coast! Yes, your chances are a little better, but only a little.

I will backup what Donn0128 states about Oregon SP filling up early and late into the Fall. We were at South Beach SP and seems we had the “Campground Full” sign out for all of August and September. Plan ahead and make reservations.
I just did a quick count of Oregon Coastal SP RV sites and found almost 800 FHU and almost 1,200 electrical sites, in 15 parks.

Yep they are full already for next May we only got into one for a week and we will be on the coast the whole month of May

Hello All. This forum provided us great information for our Utah trip this year which we returned last August.
Next year we want to go North to Oregon, Washington and Canada.
-First stop will be in Ashland, Oregon area (visit family)
- Then head North to Redmond, Washington (visit family)
- Then on to Canada.( to where we don't know yet)
Then on way back we will probably head South on I5 then to the Oregon Coast.
We will travel in August and September. Any and all RV Park recommendations would be appreciated.
We are traveling with a 40' 5th wheel. If I need to provide additional information I can, just let me know. I will print out all responses. Thank you in advance.

A couple responses.
Not sure if we'll go as far East as Banff. That looks to be 600 miles and a few days travel.
Also, it will be at least month or month and half vacation.

Use the Good Sam RV Parks internet App. Type in each city you plan to stay in. You will be given all the RV Parks + info on each in the city and surrounding areas. I typically will travel 4 hrs. then look for a RV Park to stay. 3 to 4 hrs. is the most I like to travel each day. Make your reservations well in advance of your trip, especially on the Oregon coast.
