I'll be in the state late next month (& May) and would like to do some camping and hiking. Where are some places/hikes you could suggest? Non-touristy would be best, but I won't be doing any mountaineering. Car/tent camping or shorter backpacking trips would be ideal. Thanks in advance!
 
There are many different types of hiking in Oregon.

There are the mountainous Western Oregon hikes, Rocky Beach hikes and High desert hiking.

Of the Mountainous variety, the hikes near Multnomah falls provide excellent scenery and good forest to hike through.

If you want a short hike while in Portland try hiking Forest Park or Tryon Creek. They are both quite scenic and are in the city.

A good Oregon Coast hike is Cape Lookout. You hike along the edge and middle of a 1 and a half mile long cape. If you are afraid of heights, this might not be the best for you as there are many steep drop offs.

For the best Eastern Oregon hiking I suggest you travel to Smith Rock. You get to follow the Crooked River and see the high desert climate.

These are just one of many good places to hike.
