As we headed up the coast towards Washington we had a little trouble getting reservations for the timeframes we wanted. We ended up staying 10 days in Florence, OR, then 1 night in Buxton, OR and 3 nights in Cannon Beach OR to fill up the time before our reservation in Chimacum, WA.

Cannon Beach is a cute little beach town and we wished we could have had more time there. But the real gem was the L.L. Stub Stewart State Park in Buxton, OR. It’s about 30 miles west of Portland, so not on the coast. But we were amazed at how beautiful the area and the parks campground were!!

The park is fabulous, in a forest of pine trees and rolling hills. The campground had huge sites, full hookups, and lots of trails to explore. We were only there one night so we didn’t get to do much exploring, but I did walk around the campground and one trail (Laddy didn’t go with me because of his heart condition).

It was a true campground instead of an RV Resort and there were lots of people with kids, bikes, skateboards, group campfires etc. Everyone was having a great time!
