camping/cycling Oregon coast; cycling Mt. Vernon WA

My DH and I are about to embark on a 2 week ramble through northern California up to Washington. We are staying with friends much of the time, but plan to camp on the Oregon coast early next week- approximately midway between San Francisco and Olympia. Any recommendations on a good place to camp with an option to take a 20-40 mile ride before getting back in to the car?

Also, we will be based in Mt. Vernon, WA for 4 days- anyone have suggestions for rides in that general area?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

welcome to the northwest!
:)
there are lots of country roads between mount Vernon and La Conner that you will find very pleasant to ride on. During Tulip season, they are a major bike happening!

Check out the map library at the Seattle bike touring club. There are many lovely routes.
