I don't know if you've thought about particular location yet. I live in Portland, and have done a fair amount of camping in the NW, SW, and Cali. If you go to the gorge or eastern Oregon, you probably will not be happy. It will be frigid and damp at nights, and slightly less frigid and damp during the day. I would suggest somewhere along the southern coast, or maybe near ashland. Try not to die.
