Next step in our trip planning for the coast and inland June

I hope you guys out there can help me - I%26#39;m getting somewhat nervous that I still don%26#39;t have our 2 weeks RV trip panned out so please let me have your ideas and input. We%26#39;ll be leaving NC on June 19 and return on July 3.

So far we are considering:

Day 1 Arrive Portland in the evening

Day 2 Pick up 36%26#39; RV in Portland

Day 3 Stay in Newport??

Day 4 Stay somewhere in Southern OR at the coast

Day 5 Stay one more night at the same place

Day 6 Go down to CA to see the Redwoods

Day 7 Stay one more night at the same place

Day 8 Go inland towards the mountains

Day 9 Stay one more night at the same place

Day 10 Stay close to Crater Lake (Detroit Lake??)

Day 11 Stay one more night at the same place

Day 12 Go north towards Salem

Day 13 Stay one more night at the same place

Day 14 Portland

Day 15 Leave Portland in the evening

First of all I would love your feedback on the areas we are thinking about going - what to see and what not to miss. Is there anything we will miss that is on the not-to-be missed list for first timers in OR?

Secondly we are in a rental RV without a car so we%26#39;ll not be able to take all the small, challenging roads and we%26#39;ll not be able to drive fast either. Thus our itinerary is not too ambitious, I hope.

Once I have the areas more firm I%26#39;ll be able to reserve RV parks as it seems that we need to do that in advance.

To help you guys give advice a little about us: two adults, one 13 and one 9 year old, first time in RV, first time in OR, old timers within car vacation, into coastal towns, relaxation and family time (thus our intention to stay 2 nights in most RV parks), not into touristic places and museums.

THANKS for providing any and all advice!

Please disregard this post - I%26#39;ve posted the thread in the Oregon forum instead.

Sorry

Is this next month? You really need to check for reservations. State Parks may be full. Forest Service CGs may not but even they fill up when kids are out of school in summer. mid-June. And 36%26#39; RV needs more space.

Crater Lake and Detroit Lake are no close.

You should plan time near Bend. Our best mountains are north of Crater Lake.

I realize that I%26#39;m out late but I still hope to be able to make it a wonderful vacation for us all. State parks are not a requirement for our stays and I think I have a good resouce in the RV review site I received earlier.

Apart from the Bend area - any suggestions?

Thanks
