Lupe, I live in Northern California and just a few of the places that I have gone to and enjoyed;
The Oregon Coast, Brookings Oregon, Harris Beach is great and near town. There is also a RV park right next to the Harbor (Harbor RV Park I think), beach access is easy, park right near the beach, watch the boats coming and going, etc. The best Clam Chowder I have ever had was at the Hungry Clam, down by the docks.
Just up the coast is Bandon. They have great golf and several good beaches and you might take in the lighthouse. There is usually parking near the Old Town for fun shopping and the Fish Place right on the Harbor in Old Town Bandon is one of our favorites.
Just up the coast a ways is Coos Bay. We take our sand toys and play on the dunes and the beach. It is a "Big Boy Toy Heaven" out there.
The drive up Highway 101 is worth the views even if you don't stop in any of the towns.
Tillamook Oregon, again good beaches, tour the Cheese and Ice Cream place and the Air Museum is good if you like that kind of thing.
And there is lots to see in between
If you prefer a warmer climate;
Death Valley is amazing. No matter how long you are there, it is not long enough. There is so much to see and do. At night, I like to take my Jeep out until I cannot see anyone or any lights, set up my camp chair, watch stars and listen to the sounds of the night. Coyotes nearby, can really startle you if you are not prepared, but that is another story. We usually stay around Stovepipe Wells, there is a National Park Service Campground that offers a more basic place to stay or there is a "Ranch" there with nice accommodations, good food, pool, horseback rides, etc. Our last visit we went to the nearby Native American Reservation for Indian Tacos. I would drive the 400 miles just for the Tacos and the conversations over Tacos in the Reservation. Again, there is so much to see.
I enjoy Boondocking around Quartzsite, my wife, not so much. In January there is a big tent-RV & Outdoor Show, lots of Rock Hounds selling their treasures, an endless supply of swap meet places and some really good deals can be found along with some really good food. We generally avoid the Southwest during summer, as my wife does not handle the heat very well. Wintertime, Yuma Arizona is filled with Snowbirds, many of them in RVs also. lots to see and do around there. I love to take my Jeep out into the Desert and the Military Proving Grounds near there. There are lots of Military Aircraft in the air, which are quite interesting.
Sedona, AZ and the surrounding area is fantastic. The Native American Cliff Dwellings are amazing, there is lots of info on Google. Montezuma's Castle and Well is an easy walk and amazing to see. We really enjoyed our stay at the Distant Drums RV Park and Casino. The park was great, lots of good and interesting people, and a Casino nearby with food and entertainment.
The Grand Canyon; our last trip we stayed in Williams, AZ. They have a great RV Park, shuttles to take you around, good food, an indoor pool and lots to see along Route 66 that goes right though the middle of town. We rode the train from Williams to the Grand Canyon and loved it. There is a Old West Show, "Train Robberies", live music, great views and a relaxing ride to the Canyon. They leave you at the Canyon for a couple of hours and then take you back to Williams.
Anyway, I could go on and on, but I hope to hear about some of what you find and experience along your journey. JH
