I-5 and west in Oregon

We are interested in hearing from anyone who lives in Oregon alomg the I-5 corridor and west to the Pacific. We are looking for full service campgrounds that might not be on the radar for others looking for a place for kids. Winter weather will also be a factor in our plans. I can give more detailed information in a PM but all information will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Winter weather... so you are looking for a single cg for an extended stay during the winter months?

You should stay along the I5 corridor. Don't consider staying on the coast during the winter. Very cold. Very damp. Very windy - they can get high winds on the coast but here along I-5, it's buffered by the range of coastal mountains between I5 and the coast.

Stay away from cg's on the rivers. Rivers flood in the winter with all the rain. Don't park under big trees either... pine needles are not fun when tracked into the rig all winter long.

There is an area in the "shadow" of the Olympic NP that does not get as much rain as the rest of the NW. Check out the cg's around Squim, WA. I'm not familiar with what's up there.

I'm familiar with Woodland, WA and can give you some names of a few there but won't until you say that's an area you want. I still suggest you check out the ones near Squim, WA.

Now, if you are just looking for a week or so than I would suggest the Good Same CG in McMinnville,OR. The Evergreen Aviation Museum is there and it's a fun place to spend a couple of days at. It also has a water park...with a Boeing 747 parked on the roof. The water slides come out of the plane and down around into the pool.
