I just joined this site last week and have not been 'social'. I'm not sure if I am in the proper forum; so apologies if I shouldn't have posted here; please kindly direct me if I need to post some place else. I am exploring this lifestyle (no prior experience), and have this coming 2 weeks off. One of my desires is to travel down the Orgeon Coast. I will be coming down south from the North Coast. I will be driving in a car.
I figure my stops would be Tillamook, Lincoln/Newport, Coos Bay, Gold Beach, Brookings. Would that sound reasonable?
Would it be 'safe' to car camp in Tillamook Gen Hospital, or are there other places around Tillamook? Nelda also mentioned dispersed camping in Coast range mountains, how do I find the direction to get there? I'm thinking I can camp in the casino area in Newport. But not certain about the other areas as it goes further south.
Are there also other BLM sites as I travel south?
Would welcome any advise or words or wisdom, or foolish of me to try this on my own.
Thanks!
