There isn’t very much dispersed camping along 101 in Washington and Oregon. I can’t speak of NoCal because I have only gone as far as a Crescent City/Eurika.

You also realize that Eugene is about an hour away from the coast right?

I dont think I explained this well enough. Here is what I have set out so far on Gaia. The area from Eugene to Mexicalli is where I needed help to ensure that I am doing things right. I planned the route by staying as close to the PCT as possible driving down. Figured there would be more camping opportunities there. As well as staying off as many paved roads as possible.

Unless you have reason to go to Eugene, I'd stay along the coast and turn left after Big Sur. Lots of State and National parks, great views. You could turn left at Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd, camp along the old coast Rd if N-F is open.
