Gas/Diesel in No. Calif / Oregon Coast US-101

I will be traveling from Willits, Ca. to Astoria, Or. on Hwy US-101

I have a 35' Class A and a tow car. uses Gas
Caravaning with a 24' Class C and a tow car.. uses Diesel

Looking for gastations along that route so we don't have to unhook.
driving about 200-250 miles in between.

Would appreciate any help/experience you have.

Tks,
Dy
Northern Calif.
  • I did that very route in April in a 34' Monaco Knight (diesel) and a Suburban toad. The Safeway in Willits is very easy to get into and out of. There are many gas stations on the right side of the road that will fill your bill. The 76 station in Reedsport, Ore., just south of the junction with Hwy 38 is also very easy to pull in and out. The road from Lincoln City to Astoria is curvy and narrow and there was some construction in April.
  • In Florence Oregon you'll have a Fred Meyer that has Diesel, and pretty good access. It's located on the north side of town. Other stores in Warrenton (South of Astoria) and in Tillamook & Coos Bay, I haven't been to Coos Bay but the other two are are accessible. The store in Newport does not have fuel.
  • I fill at the Fred Meyer station in Florence and I am 42 ft plus a Ford explorer toad. Located on the West side of 101 in Florence.
  • Can't help for you entire route, but in Bandon and North Bend, you'll find "76" stations with pumps parallel to highway 101; both have gas and diesel.
