From Salem to the Coast

Depending on how far north of Salem you are starting from, you could cross the Willamette River on the Wheatland ferry, and come out at Amity.

From there, you could follow the Reach the Beach route:

which has only about 5 miles of riding on Hwy 18 before getting off at Valley Junction.

That’s a fairly low use road except maybe on some weekends when people are towing their dune buggies over to the dunes near Sand Lake.

There’s a non-state campground a mile or 2 north of Pacific City (edit: Pacific City RV & Camping Resort), then for going south on 101, you could stay at the state campground in Lincoln City, or farther south at Beverly Beach north of Newport, or South Beach, just south of Newport. Pretty much always 'hiker/biker space' at those campgrounds.

Farther south…just check out the Oregon State Parks site for campgrounds.
