You're going to love this trip! Just be sure to pull away from the coast to an easier cruise at the scary places (between SF and Mendocino) and enjoy the ride.
We towed our 25' Safari from our home on the CA mid coast last year at the end of May, and found many Oregon state park campgrounds virtually deserted. As soon as the summer school holiday hits, everything changes!
Our tow was easy, fun, and the only gasps were for the scenery.
From Santa Cruz, we headed out to 101 and took that to Benbow. From there we went out to the coast on a beautiful drive to Brookings OR, where we stayed at Harris Beach SP (Sites A18+A22 especially scenic.) From there we went to a lush site at Sunset Bay SP in Coos Bay, and spent a couple more nights at Jesse Honeyman SP in Florence. Amazing place with huge dunes and some great hikes and kayaking.
Then on to Beverly Beach SP in Newport. (Equally fabulous, but a very rainy stay. Be prepared...) Loved all the wild rhododendrons and azalea along the roadsides, and the chance to have fresh seafood everyday.
You'll love it. It's truly a comfortable tow although as Caddygrn says, you may be in for more traffic than we had.
Happy trails!
