best tent camping on the oregon coast image
Rene H
I'm looking for campsites along the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California that are in good locations and that are not too expensive. I'll be going during the summer so I'de also need to know if reservations are required.
I'de love campsites that have beach access, that are full of fun people (mostly teenagers and young adults) to meet and that are near fun places to visit. Please let me know about any experiences, both good and bad, you have had. Thanks!

I live in Washington. Last fall my sister and I drove down the Oregon coast. In Oregon, many of the State Parks have yurts. They are tents built on platforms and are very cool. They are cheap, around 17-25 dollars a night. Go to Oregon State Parks.com and you will find all the parks along the coastal region.
I have travelled along the Pacific Coast from Washington to San Diego, Ca. Highway 1 goes right next to the ocean and is so beautiful. There are many good campsites. Have fun.

Is the Outer Banks in North Carolina a crowded touristy place?

I am planning a vacation to the East Coast and wanted to camp/ horseback ride on the beaches. Is the outer banks crowded in August? Is it a good place to be camping at? Is there any other advice you can give me or possibly other beaches to camp on along the east coast?
Answer
You won't find a less crowded beach anywhere on the east coast than Hatteras Island of the Outer Banks. You can camp at Oregon Inlet Campground and Frisco Campground operated by the National Park Service (NPS). They are in the National Seashore right on the beach. There are small towns along the Island with private campgrounds, but for the true Outer Banks experience go with the NPS. Other advice, yeah, tie down your tent real good the wind can blow pretty hard down there, even in August. But it will be worth it just for the experience. Heck, the Outer Banks is a place you have to make a special effort to get to, it's way out of the way from anywhere. lol Take the free ferry over to Ocracoke Island while you're there. It's relaxing and hey, it's where Blackbeard used to hang out. Climb the Hatteras lighthouse too. Check out the Chicamacomico lifesaving station in Rodanthe. Don't miss the 'Serandipity'. The 'Nights In Rodanthe' house. Have fun.
