Oregon Coast Campout

We had a great time camping out along the Oregon Coast. First stop was Cannon Beach that has a very nice long flat beach and the best thing was the water was only about two inches deep for like 200 yards into the ocean. It was great for the kids, wife and dog to splash around.

This trip also gave us the chance to try out the new Westy Tent I bought. It's nice because it attaches to the bus and gives us an extra room to store gear, or sleep, or even change clothes. It's tall so you can stand inside and not have to slouch around.

And we also got to explore around. The campsite was really nice over at Nehalem Bay State Park, though not as private as we're used to. The weather was nice and cool and we got lots of sun. We ate some hot dogs one night, and then some bbq chicken the next night with fresh corn on the grill. The girls loved it and didn't want to leave.

Here's one more shot of a town we explored called Garibaldi. I liked this shot of the pickle.

All in all, two nights, a great trip. And no issues with the bus at all. It handled the coast range with aplomb doing 45 on the steepest grades and 60 on the flat roads. We can't wait to go back and explore some more.

We love living in the Northwest with our two VW buses. One is green and named the "Party Pickle." It's our camper. The other is brown and is named "Charlie Brown." It's a transporter. My wife is a great co-pilot and my two girls are seven and nine years old. Our dog, Chippy, loves chasing raquet balls. Hope to see you out there in the slow lane.
