I'm planning a trip to Oregon and the PNW this summer and was wondering how far in advance do I need to plan.I know my Florida parks very well and could tell you that the hardest reservation to get would be Bahia Honda in the Keys or Red Coconuts on row A in Fort Myers, but I don't have a clue what parks get crowded in Oregon and Vancouver.Can you tell me what campgrounds are the absolutely most popular and how far in advance I'd need to reserve them to get in this summer with a 45 foot motorhome?

Oregon state parks start taking reservations 9 months out. So now is the time to make them. On 101 besides any of the state parks, Netarts Bay RV, Salmon Harbor at Winchester bay, Sea N Sand and Brookings Harbor are all great for views.

Holstein13, there are lots of covered bridges to tour around Coburg, OR. Not sure if the kids would be all that interested. They have the dates that they were built and some are now only used for walking bridges. I'm glad that Oregon kept them, nice history.MM.

It seems, anything on the coast is difficult to get a reservation in. We travel as much as possible without reservations or specific stop spots. We use AllStays.com and start looking seriously around 2 PM. Like to stop, be set up and cocktail by 4:30 or 5 when we can.All the coastal places I would suggest booking a couple months out if you can.

We have already made reservations for Anderson's RV Park in Long Beach, WA for the International Kite Festival in the middle of August.If you plan on staying anywhere during a holiday weekend or for longer than a few days, I would get reservations sooner rather than later.

We have already reserved sites at a number of Oregon State Parks on the Coast....5 weeks total so far.But, we have our favorite sites and those are the ones we reserve 9 months in advance.

What's the hardest ticket to get on the Oregon Coast?
