Looks like I will be getting the first run of 2015 wolf creek 850's and pretty pumped on picking it up in early may. I am getting it fully loaded. I am told the pricing is going up for all 2015 models and all slots for the run in may are already sold out! The Wolf creek line and arctic fox line are doing quite well. I will be driving from san diego to apache camping center in Portland to pick it up. We plan on camping and hanging out in the area for awhile and am curious if anyone has any recommendations for remote camping spots. We are wanting to explore the coast and forests and we have never been to Oregon and Washington. We are planning on approx 2 weeks. Thanks for any suggestions :)

Thanks for any suggestions :)When we lived in WA, we used to love going to Tillamook and visiting the chees factory and getting samples. There is a huge state campground near there that is fun! Also just neither if there is a little town of Canon beach that has a beautiful beach and some real nice private camp grounds, and just north if there is a great day trip visit to Seaside.Further south, are the Oregon dunes.Good luck, Garry in Kodiak, AK

Remote on the coast can be difficult at best. I think your best bet would be any of the state parks along the coast. Plus neatest bay rv park just west of Tillamook, salmon harbor at Winchester Bay, south of reedsport and the county park right on the ocean in Brookings.As an option you might want to head east into central oregon. 97 is a beautiful drive or head across the desert from alpine and catch 95 down. Goose Lake state park is a great place to hang for a day or two

As noted above, don't consider this remote (although there was only 1 other camper in the park while we were there) but we spent the first night here after picking up our new AF996 in La Grande. Very quiet, nice setting and 20 minutes from La Grande. (Hint, if you camp in the last space at the north end of the park, you'll have a nice secluded spot with trees all around.) Red Bridge Park

If you have dirt bikes I love eastern WA in early May. There are so many open forestry roads and single track. The Mad River area north of Entiat has a ton of free camping as does the Blewett Pass area. The weather over there in May is usually about 80 and sunny where Seattle might be 65 and rain.On the coast we like the Grays Harbor/Long Beach area, but I am not sure if there are many free campsites. You can drive on the beach there but pretty sure you can't overnight on the beach.

Keep in mind that some major roads are closed until June and many backroads can be closed as well. You could take in some fishing areas and hike into some lakes as well. Check out fishing sites for those locations.

Nolan,
Since you're going to be up there, the Olympic Peninsula Loop is a must. Mt. St. Helens and the area around Mt. Hood are terrific, too. The drive along the Columbia River gorge is also pretty breathtaking.
