Lovely place to camp.
Some good spots with privacy. Lots of people on bikes enjoying the trails.
Water was perfect although no real deep swim spots.
There are the falls with trails and possible swim spot just a 3 minute drive up. Worth going to the falls on a day trip.

Beautiful campground, well maintained. Toilets were kept up and so long as people closed the lid, they weren't smelly. The bugs were insane, but it was super hot and muggy when we were there so maybe that's why. The river was great for wading, and safe enough for kids. Definitely bring water shoes. We brought our bikes and took them down to Alsea Falls, but the trail to the top of the falls is smooth and relatively flat. I wouldn't try a stroller unless it was an offroad type. There are no bbqs, and no hookups. There are multiple water spigots through the campground and dishwater dump stations, and pit toilets. No showers so bring biodegradable soap if you plan to use the river for bathing. There is NO CELL SERVICE until you drive out about 20 minutes. I have Verizon. We did bring a Garmin InReach and that worked, even though there was decent tree coverage. Firewood was $10 a bundle.

Very nice campground. Nice privacy between spaces. Bathroom was not as clean as we would have liked. You can easily hike to two different waterfalls.

Very noisy on stay. There seemed to be a steady line of cars in and out of the campground all night long.
