Advice Needed for West Coast Trip

My wife and I (mid 60's, no kids) are planning a trip from San Diego to Vancouver from about May 15 to Sept 15th. We have a 26' TT (overall length). We plan to stay mostly on the coastal highway but will go inland for anything worthwhile.

I realize this is the the busiest season, but this is when we can go. Looking for any advice re places to camp (RV parks, dry camping, state/county/unique ideas), along with any ideas on places to avoid, etc., with an eye to beating the crowds, when possible.

Also, any suggestions on things to do and see. We plan to spend a few days in LA and SF, not usual RV destinations, so any tips for these areas would be especially useful.

Thanks!
  • Reserve now for the Oregon coast - you might already be too late for their great state parks on the coast
  • The first thing you need to know is that Highway 1 is closed in Big Sur and will likely remain that way for the next year. The bridge was damaged in the storms and was demo'd last week.
