Oregon coast is wonderful with lots of opportunities. Our family will be camping in the area next month at Tillicum Beach. Area you are seeking info is really between Florence and Newport.
Camping
Washborne State Park - one of the few on the coast that is first come basis.
Beachside State Park - right on the beach, closed in winter due to high tides and storms.
Tillicum Beach is USFS park, but very nice.
Sea Perch is private park right on beach
Cape Perpetua is USFS and right below visitor center on small steam
Rock Creek is USFS beside small creek
Waldport has KOA
Things to do in area
Florence has nice waterfront on Siuslaw River. Sand dunes galore.
Don't miss little Darlongtonia State Park on north end of Florence with insect eating plants.
Sea Lion Caves - large sea cave with lots of sea lions
Cape Perpetua - visitor center, tide pools, hiking trails
Yachats has beaches and new state park on small river east of town.
Newport has waterfront, aquarium, Nye Beach area, deep sea fishing charters, Hatfield Marine Science Center
Places to eat
Florence - Mo's for chowder (not the best on the coast but everyone has their favorite)
Yachats - Blue Whale, Adobe (my favorite), and some others
Enjoy the coast.
