What are the funnest, best and cheapest camp sites along the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California?

I’m looking for campsites along the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California that are in good locations and that are not too expensive. I’ll be going during the summer so I’de also need to know if reservations are required.
I’de love campsites that have beach access, that are full of fun people (mostly teenagers and young adults) to meet and that are near fun places to visit. Please let me know about any experiences, both good and bad, you have had. Thanks!

Go inland just a bit and camp at Crater Lake National Park. My wife and I spent about a week there in 2003 and really enjoyed it. Camp fires at that altitude just seem unusual, but nice.
