I'm planning a trip to Oregon this summer and we are not really intersted in spending a ton of money to just pitch a tent and camp out. We'll be driving through and visiting Portland and exploring the coast. So I was hoping maybe some locals could give me the names of some nice places to just camp out where we aren't gonna get fined or chased off. Any help is appreciated we've never been there before so we're kind of blindly adventuring.
Thanks

Almost all the BLM land in eastern Oregon has free camping. Sometimes BLM campgrounds have pit toilets, but mostly you have to bring a shovel and water to make a patch of BLM land a campsite.
I don't know of any free campsites west of the Cascades, except for bicyclists.

Going to the Oregon Coast this weekend for some camping. Anyone recommend some good camp spots - beach accessible? Will be camping with boyfriend, dog and child. Thanks!
Answer
There are some great campsites in Seaside. That is a great place to go camping, as there is a boardwalk there with games and rides. We went camping there about 3 years ago and had the time of our lives. Unfortunately, I do not recall the name of the campground, but I found it on Recreation.gov. It was within a mile or two of the ocean. Definitely the place to go in the Northern coast area. Skip Lincoln City-it's over hyped and the only thing that is there is the outlets malls.
Newport would be another great place to go but I have only stayed in a hotel there. It's my favorite place to go on the coast, but is about 3 hrs south of Seaside. You can access the beach, there's the Oregon Coast Aquarium, The Hatfield Marine Science Aquarium, Nye Beach, The Bay front area that has the Wax Works Museum, The Undersea Gardens, and Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
I have never been there, but there is a OHV riding area by Tillamook, known as Sand Lake. This is probably your best bet for beach camping. Very few campgrounds are located right on the beach in Oregon, but the ones that are, are usually private, members only places or at the Dunes Recreation Area in Lane and Douglas County.
Good Luck and have fun.
