Since you are now in Newport, be sure and visit the Oregon State Marine research center, and also the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Both really neat places, and both down on the bay.
As you head south, you could overnight at the Mill Casino in North Bend (Coos Bay) and have dinner there as well as make a few bucks!!! They have a nice RV park there.
Also, heading south, be sure and stop at the town of Bandon. The downtown part is historic, with neat shops, and great food. Also, the location of one of the premier golf courses in the world.
Then, if you stay in Gold Beach, by all means take the jet boat trip up the Rogue River. All day trip, with lunch. Worth every moment.
Welcome to Oregon. And, it's pronounced "Ore E Gun", not "Ore Gone" like some do from back east.
