Oregon Coast camping

We spent a recent weekend travelling down the Oregon Coast with some friends. Up until last week, the weather in Vancouver had been sweltering, so we were quite happy to be driving in an air-conditioned car and to go somewhere where the temperatures were a bit cooler. After crossing the border, we spent the night in a hotel in Olympia. The next day, we drove down to Waldport where we were camping. Unfortunately, our campsite was a big disappointment - too cramped and with no privacy. It felt rather like camping in someone's front drive :) The next day we moved to a much nicer campsite just up the road and were a lot happier then. The weather was mixed, and it had a tendency to drizzle gently on us every evening, but we had lots of good food and campfires, and even got in some beach time. The sand down on the Oregon Coast is fantastic; it rivalled Hawaii in quality I think, especially in the Oregon Dunes area. Other places we really liked were Astoria and Cannon Beach.

I've uploaded some pictures of our trip to Flickr. I hope to get hold of more photos at some point from our friends' camera too.
