Oregon Tour Planned in May of 2018

[John_S2]

My DW and I are planning on camping (27'airstream trailer) with our daughter and son in law in OR along the coast next May, 2018.

We have never been there before and would appreciate and and all suggestions and tips, etc.... Don't want to miss anything if we can avoid it.

We love being by the water and beautiful campsites.. Like to have electric but not essential.

Is the following preliminary timeling a good one? What would you suggest?

Drive North from SLO, CA
May 2 Bothe Napa State Park
May 3 Jedediah Smith Park

May 4th – 10th 7nights Oregon coast (look at possible booking on weekend nights, flexible on weekdays?

May 11-13 Portland 3 nights (weekend)

May 14th Willamette

May 15th Bend, OR

May 16th Crater Lake, OR

May 19-20 Ashland OR

TIA, for all tips and ideas, John S

May 21 sacramento, CA

May 22nd Drive to SLO, CA

As a lifetime Oregonian and a 30 year camper I have to tell you your plan sucks a big one. You need two weeks just on the coast. You absolutely need to travel north to south on the coast. Central Oregon, at least two weeks just for starters. There is just too much to see and do, a day or two is simply not enouh.
May is not the best time on the coast. You will experience lots of cool damp weather. Central Oregon will be sunny but cold. Remember, in the valley summer does not oficially start until July 5th. If you want to really plan something out, send me a PM outlining what you like to do and see. Will be glad to give you some ideas.
