Take more time and drive less per day! You will enjoy the trip much better!
I would stay away from many high usage area during the week ends.
Well thanks for that advice, I've never thought of that before :S
However, on this 3 week road trip there are just SOME days that require driving long distances, or else it would turn into a 4 week road trip, and we simply don't have the time for that. :(
Olympic is the first of several Nat'l Parks (US and Canada) we will be visiting and we will be arriving at the end of our 2nd day of driving from NorCal (almost 800 miles). Sure there are many great spots along the Oregon coast (including my brother's house) where we could stop and spend days exploring/relaxing, but been there-done that.
This trip basically STARTS in Olympic park, and we" plan" to stay for 4-5 days. Therefore I would 'prefer' to stay in a CG that takes advance reservations so I drive with the peace of mind knowing I've got a spot when I get there :W Hence the appeal of Kalaloch...not to mention it's beauty.
