West Coast Campsite Availability

[Adiabatman]

We're contemplating a trip from the DC to southern CA and then up the Pacific Coast to OR. We generally travel without reservations and I'm not too concerned about heading west. But I am worried that it might be difficult finding sites along the PCH in June. Any advice? Thanks.

Your "no" reservations plan will result in the following possibilities:
1. severely limit/alter your RV park choices
2. add a level of anxiety or frustration during your travel as you wonder about your next day's reservations.
3. June will be the HIGH season for other tourists and local people who will impact your traveling and sight seeing activities.
The Calif. and Oregon coasts are high tourist attractions any time of the year but especially during the summer months. Reservations do not limit your RV travels or choices. Reservations are only plans to deviate from--You can cancell or change reservations!!!!

Dont know about PCH as that is a California highway designation. But along US101 in Oregon you will want reservations unless your willing to stop no later that 2PM and hope for a one night only. The good sites fill up with reservarions months in advance.

We did it but didn't get on the PCH until Eureka. We had no problems finding a place to stop. We called ahead an hour or two before we planned to stop and found a spot on the first call except once when we had to call a second place. We drove all the way up to the Olympic Peninsula.
