Camping Ideas
I recently flew up to Portland, OR where my brother in law picked me up. We went to the Oregon Coast, then to Hood River where he is originally from, then through northern Idaho. Then to Montana where we got on Highway 89 which took us through Yellowstone, Grand Tetons and Bryce Canyon National Park. If you are planning a camping trip I can recommend the Oregon Coast, northern Idaho and Bryce Canyon National Park.
I traveled through these areas which I really liked but didn't camp at them. Here are some photos from the trip of these areas: https://www.f150forum.com/g/album/37818841

That's a LONG trip. Sounds great.
Camping ideas will vary by region, right? I've camped in and around Oregon but not in at least a decade. However, in the pacific northwest the Olympic Peninsula is beautiful. But if I had a few hours to drive from Portland, I'd pull a trailer (or take a tent) up to Anacortes, WA and catch a ferry over to San Juan island with a couple of kayaks. What a beautiful and unique place. What a unique experience.
In ID, yes, West Yellowstone and into Yellowstone is awesome. I've done that a handful of times. And then proceeding on through to Jackson and the gateway it provides into the Grand Tetons.
In northern UT, there's the Wasatch and Uinta national forest areas. There's plenty to see there. But what really puts camping in Utah on the map is east-central and southern Utah: Arches NP, and Canyonlands NP (Moab area); Capitol Reef NP and Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monuments; Bryce Canyon NP, and Zion NP.
Utah has Arches, Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, and Canyonlands national parks. Additionally it has many national monuments, state parks, and national forests. Plenty of places to explore.
