I cringe when someone says "May through Sept" will be booked. Now how do they know that? Yes, perhaps if you're set on a specific park and want to come in on a Friday night.
We traveled quite a few times through Calif/Oregon Coast/Washington to Port Townsend without any reservations. Seriously, it can be done. Not all sites are reservable in the state parks and there are many less fancy parks that will have sites. Get away from the beach about 10 miles and you'll have even more options.
