Are you planning on cycling down the Pacific Coast? Be sure to check out this video to learn about some of the best camping spots along the entire coast! These spots have awesome hiker/biker spots for bike tourists that you do NOT want to miss out on. Washington, Oregon, and California all have some camping gems!!!
Yachats! Oregonian here - You got it right. :) One of my favorite places. Great video - very helpful!
Yes!!!!!!! I loved it there!!!
I don't know what I like better - cycling or camping, But great when you can combine both! Thanks for this video highlighting the camping side of the bicycle route.
I totally agree- it’s hard to choose between the two!
Very grateful for your videos and info! Love your smile and cheery disposition! Targeting WA and OR this summer for bike packing and touring now 😎👍
Thank you so much!!! Can’t beat WA and OR!!!
Fort Worden State Park is where most of "An Officer and a Gentleman" was filmed.
Thanks for the info and keep up the good work.
Ohhh I did not know that! Too cool!!
Harris Beach was nice but I found it hard to get sleep due to the neighboring lumberyard, whose loud machinery operated 24 hours a day. At least that's the way it was about 7 years ago.
Ohhh interesting!! I don’t remember that….but you’ve got me wondering if I forgot. There was definitely a place that had trains coming by all night. I’m wondering if that was it. 😬
This is some great information . Have you thought about the GDMBR and or sections of it ?
I have, actually! I would definitely probably need a different bike. I’ve got my Surly and an Ibis Mojo 4….neither one I think are what I need. I’d probably need to do more of a bike packing setup for that. It definitely interests me.

Hi Aspen, thank you very much for the interesting content about bike packing and your bike tours. I have a question about the Pacific Cost 101 Trail. Approximately how long do you need to allow for the route and what budget do you need? I would also like to do a tour like this one day. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Switzerland
We rode the route at a more leisurely pace and mostly rode 35-40 mile days, with the occasional 60 mile day. That pace put us finishing in 50 days. Many people ride the route in about a month or so, which puts you at riding bigger days (obviously). I am used to riding 70-80 miles a day on tour, but I really enjoyed taking my time on this route.
As far as budget goes, I couldn’t tell you how much I spent. We mostly cooked at camp and occasionally stopped at a restaurant for a meal. The hiker/biker spots usually ran us around $8 a person (totally forgot to mention that in my video). If we had to book a full sized campsite, it was typically around $30. There were about 6 or 7 times we had to book a hotel due to weather. Hotels along the coast are usually $200-300, so pretty pricey.
If I had to just throw out a number, I’d say $8 for camping, $15 for dinner if you eat out, maybe $10 for lunch and snacks…so $30 a day on average….but there were many days I spent less.
Thanks for the question!! :)
