"holstein13".....We live in California and love the Oregon Coast. There are many campgrounds big and small. A lot depends on what you want to see. We often start at Astoria, Oregon and work our way down. If you visit anytime before mid July, you'll have a good chance of hitting a fair amount of rain.
You really need to plan your trip, start and stop date and then determine how long and how far you'll want to drive each day. Just so you know, driving 200 miles down the Oregon Coast in your coach will wear you out. I wouldn't plan on doing much more than that each day.
In Astoria, there is a great campground called Fort Stevens. Directly across the street is a pretty nice KOA. There is also a boat, sitting in the middle of town (Astoria) called the Bowpicker that sells fish and chips. You'll typically wait 35-45 minutes in line to buy fish. They have two choices, large order or small order. It will be some of the best fish and chips you'll ever have. They make it from Albacore.
There is also a nice campground in Coos Bay. It's Mill Casino. Nice sites, a lot of things to do in the area and big rig friendly.
As I said, you really need to plan out your drive. The last place I'll recommend is Turtle Rock RV park in Golds Beach. It's nothing fancy, doesn't have that many sites, but will have room for you. We like it because it's near (about 2 miles) the Rogue River that has Jerry's Jet Boat rides. It's a jet boat excursion up the Rogue River with lunch and dinner runs. They pretty much sell out everyday during the summer.
