Alsea Falls Recreation Site (Campground)

Small quiet campground. Walk to the falls is an easy and flat walk. Sites are secluded from each other. Potable water and clean pit toilets. Will definitely return

We had site 1 - great location, occasional truck noise early morning but shouldn’t be bad if you’re early risers. There is a perfect little trail from the campsite to the stream. It was beautiful. They had wood and descent toilets. No cell service. I definitely recommend the campsite and I would go back.

The campground was nice in many ways. The problem was a young man that seemed to have appointed himself Camp Host. He explained that he was helping the Ranger out, but there were no usual signs stating he was the Camp Host. The Ranger was there for a short time when I first arrived, but I did not see him for the rest of my 3 day stay. This guy was very friendly, in a forward way. I eventually found I need to avoid him if I wanted my peace and privacy. It was disturbing that he had what appeared to be a 9 mm semiautomatic hand gun mounted in a chest holster the whole time. He would make frequent loops of the camp ground walking or riding his electric skateboard - inspecting the camp sites like a security guard. This went on into the night. We found it very disturbing to have someone placing themselves in a position of authority and carrying a firearm - the day after 19 children were murdered in broad daylight in Texas. I have never stayed in a campground where a Host is not clearly identified, so there was no assurance that this guy was supervised or had gone through a clearance process. All very unsettling.

We tented at Site 16 and had ample space for two tents and a 10x10 tarp overhead. There is a walking path from the campground to Alsea Falls and Green Peak falls which was a moderate hike round trip. Some sections closed for rehabilitation. The campsite had two picnic tables and a fire ring which we used for cooking. Trails from this site also lead directly to river. Very clean campsite and restrooms taken care of. Parking space for one car, more available for a fee.

We are asked on websites not to bring our own firewood due to spreading disease among our forests. It was disappointing to not find firewood for sale. Alsea is one of my favorite campgrounds due to all the hiking trails.
