It's been waaay too long since I've been camping...but it's still a lttle too warm for me in the Great Basin -- at basin-elevations, anyway.
So: I'm tentatively planning to spend a few days camped on the Oregon coast ; week after next, the week of Sept 10.
Can anyone recommend favorite campgrounds, central coast (say, Beverly Beach) and on south, maybe as far as the CA border?
I'm only interested in campgrounds at most a short walk from the ocean, so I think that limits my choices to Oregon State Parks. Or are there USFS or BLM campable spots next to, walking-distance-from, the ocean?
I should mention that I'll be driving my car and sleeping in a tent on this trip -- no camper, no truck-with-high-clearance.
I've camped at Cape Blanco S.P. twice in the past couple of years, so I'm familiar with that nice spot...but it's been many years since I've camped anywhere else on the OR coast.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
