I'm driving from Seattle to SF to catch the Americas Cup finals in September. I've made the marathon drive from here to there before and just don't feel like it this time around. So I'm looking for recommendations on a good camp spot about half way between along the I-5 Corridor.

I'll be driving my Jeep (JKUR) and will be sleeping in a tent. So a little out of the way is not a bad thing, but not looking to go 4lo to get to the site.

Have any recommendations?

I was just up in the portland area, there is a campground on the oregon coast called Beverly beach that I stayed at. Pretty cheap, hot showers, clean bathrooms, and a great view of the coast

A few years back I did a trip to Oregon and camped at Honeymoon memorial state park. It was great, sand dunes right off the campground. It was a blast

May want to try Whiskeytown Lake just outside of Redding. That area can get pretty hot so check the weather

Stanton park is right right off I-5 in Canyonville. It has a nice campground on the river and has showers. Also about 1 1/2 hours north is armitage park in Eugene. Good camp sites by the river and about a mile from my place.

If you want to try something a bit different, there is a place on the 5 south of dunsmuir that has actual train cabooses that have been turned into hotel rooms. Very nice rooms too.

And you have to stop at exit #86 in Oregon ( I-5) and eat at Heaven on earth. They have THE best food

Yup, they were thinking when they built that place, gotta walk right thru the bakery to get to the dining area.. It's brutal !
