Alsea Falls Recreation Site (Campground)

Beautiful campground with excellent access to the trail head.

Beautiful campground with excellent access to the trail head.

Alsea Falls is absolutely beautiful! The hiking is fantastic and even with the rain, the trails were easy to navigate. The campground is well kept and you can buy about 10 pieces of very dry firewood for $10 from the host. There is nice separation of space as well. I would have given it a 5/5, however on our second night, our small 20 lb dog, whom I always had on a leash had a medical emergency. After racing her to the Corvallis Emergency vet at midnight, we came to find out she had THC poisoning. This was very scary and so disappointing, as we don’t use THC products. She must have ingested it on the trail somewhere. She is only 2 years old and her reaction was terrifying. We had smelled marijuana at various times on the hike after passing others. She is almost herself 48 hours later, but we find it so aggravating that people go to this pristine area and ruin it and make it a hazard for pets and wildlife. Please contain your THC products and understand that it can cost a beloved pet their life! Not to mention nearly $600 of emergency care. I highly recommend canvassing your campsite for any signs of THC products if you have small kids or pets. But this is nearly impossible to do on the trail. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else and research symptoms of THC poisoning in dogs and small children before you camp remotely.

Beautiful weekend in a gorgeous place. We had a great time and saw some wonderful birds & wildlife right at our campsite! The hike to the falls is gorgeous and we will be back!

Lovely area, we've camped here before. Given the time of year it wasn't surprising that it was chilly at night and a bit rainy during the day, but we're used to it. Campground host was helpful and sites are kept clean.

Nice, quiet campground. Love it here!

The camping sites were private, the hikes were great. We were lucky with the weather, it was cool and a little wet. Our family had a great time and will return.
