What Guests Are Saying
Alder Dune campground is praised for its cleanliness, friendly hosts, and peaceful atmosphere, making it a hidden gem near Florence, Oregon. Reviewers enjoyed the well-maintained trails, stocked lakes, and the overall quietness of the site, perfect for tent camping. While some noted minor road noise and limited facilities, the campground's natural beauty and privacy were frequently highlighted as major positive aspects.

Mostly quiet campground, good separation between sites, some road noise which can't be totally avoided. Pit toilets not great and they need to be on top of providing hand sanitizer in the wall dispensers (out the entire time I was there). Have been here many times over the years, always a pleasant experience and not far from Florence if you need to pop into town for anything.

What a wonderful time again, year 3 In campsite #6! Across the bridge and up 10 steps to the Treehouse, which is what I call the site. Hopefully next year finds me here again among the trees! Preston and Olivia were the perfect hosts at Alder Dune this year. What wonderful people! Thank you for a great camping experience once again!!

Most of the sites are fairly private thanks to good design and foliage preservation.
Mosquitoes are present but not overwhelming.
The sound of the cars on the highway and odd animal sounds (frogs?) take some getting used to.
Don't bother to hike toward the coast if your goal is a beach. The trails don't go there but they are still a nice hike.

My husband & I love this campground. Peaceful with lots of vegetation. The lakes are stocked with trout, there are pleasant trails through the forest and dunes, the birdsong is wonderful, and the outhouses are very clean.

Most of the campsites are fairly steep fore and aft. The one we used (4) was almost beyond the capacity of my RPOD to compensate for the steep angle. Although, the word "Dunes" in the name evokes visions of sea and sand, it is in fact in a rain forest. The site was adequate and the weather we had (incessant rain) probably skewed my rating. Oh, a bear meandered through while we were there. Staff went around advising the guests of this.
