We've been lucky in scoring awesome campground sites this summer - although it's not all luck. We invest a good deal of time and effort into researching and selecting the most desirable campgrounds well ahead of time, and when possible, making reservations and requesting specific sites. Many private campgrounds won't reserve specific sites but will try to find one that fits one's needs or preferences. Also, it helps to arrive early (late AM or early PM) to get the best selection of vacant sites. We prefer short, 3-4 hour, drives anyway so that works well for us.
Our current site in Netarts is a case in point: full hookup with dynamite view of Netarts Bay and better privacy than most. Looking out our huge rear window, we see a colony of harbor seals hanging out on a sand bar, pix above shows only a few; sometimes, we see well over 100.
Above pix shows the Cougar (upper right) parked beside the office/store.
Crabbing is good here, lots of little boats out in the Bay tending crab rings. I used collapsible wire cages in my crabbing days but they use mostly rings here. Depending on the type of bait you use, seals will try to steal it, wrecking the cages in the process. Crabs aren't picky eaters, don't mind having chicken instead of fish. Seals aren't into chicken, so that's what I used in my crab cages.
Below pix shows a fine catch of Dungeness crabs. The crab boiler and fish/crab cleaning tables are directly in front of the office, right beside our RV.
