It's a gorgeous campsite, my new favorite. It's like something out of Middle Earth. Impossibly beautiful, and very cool, with many funky, disparate camp sites.
BUT the camp host charges a RUINOUS amount for firewood, $9 for a tiny bundle, or four bundles for $35. Each bundle only contained 4-5 very small pieces of wood..... kindling basically. I spent $70 and it didn't even last the weekend. I have NEVER paid more than $7 a bundle from a camp host, usually only $5, and they always contained a goodly amount of wood. I like to support the campground and hosts by buying wood right there, but this time I very much feel like I was ripped off, and that makes me reluctant to return, no matter how much I love the campground itself.

The campground has a lot of trees and shrubs so there’s some privacy for each tent site. Restroom was kept clean but there’s no sink. They have Bear Aware signs posted which is good to know so you can keep your site clean. Easy access to amenities in town, Florence was about a 5 minute drive. Overall enjoyed my stay at Alder Dune.

Loved the many trails around the lakes and off to the dunes. The campground was very quiet and well maintained.

Alder Dune is very close to Florence, Oregon, as well as the beautiful Baker and Heceta Beaches. It is situated in a unique landscape with some trails scratched into explore the lakes, dune area and interesting vegetation. It is nice to have this campground open in the winter months. Look for sites as far from Highway 101 as possible to minimize highway noise. The day use area is very well kept up.
