Can anyone recommend any camping spots off the beaten path in Oregon (not state parks), to get out and explore this coming weekend?
Oregon Camping?

BLM is open range. I like to pick a spot on the map and see how close I can get.

Dispersed camping is allowed in most of the Mt. Hood National Forest, but given its proximity to Portland, it can be crowded. And, we're expecting nice weather this weekend; given our horrible winter and non-existent spring, I'm betting a lot of people will be heading out.
Either way, head out HWY 26, grab a map from the ZigZag Ranger station and hit some FS roads, you should be able to find something...
Alternatively, take 224 out of Estacada, up the Clackamas River.
Sorry I don't have specific coordinates, I don't usually map my routes obsessively. I intend to start so I can offer better advice...

I wanted to take the family there, but all the sites for South Jetty Dunes are gone!

I stayed at South Jetty on Sunday. I had my pick of every site, the place was empty.
Check out Terwilliger hot springs, about 35 mins east of Eugene. Great camping spots, and a great 4x4 trail. The trail runs the opposite side of the lake where the main road and hot spring is.

Highly recommend. I've been to a lot of places in the NW, and this is one of my favorites. A few more photos

that looks like a great camping area! Are the 4x4 trails any good? I love great 4 wheel drive trails and camping along the way is a great plus. if anyone else has any other areas around Oregon please share. Much appreciated.
