Alder Glen Recreation Site

This is one of my Top 5! The river was refreshing, the sun was bright, the bugs were minimal and this was the place to be for my Birthday. The Outpost is closed Mon and Tues. No service what so ever but Troy, the very helpful camp host, knows a place you can drive to for some. The river drowns out any road noise, which was minimal at best. There's a nice beach behind #8 & 9 everyone seems to share. No hookups or trash, so dry camping, pack in pack out. 2 vault toilets, I spray with air freshener before entry, makes it a little better. There is a paved walk and viewing/fishing pad on the river, unfortunately we missed fishing season by 10 days, woops. I bet the fishing is fabulous because we saw a bunch of babies and one adolescent jump. Oh AND a Bald Eagle flew the river the afternoon of my Birthday, so cool!!!!! Go here, you won't be disappointed!

Beautiful, small campground. Very clean and well maintained. I’ve stayed there a couple of times and will be back. Stayed in site 11 at the end. Very private space with a view of the waterfall!
I just wish there was trash service, but that’s a small issue.

Very nice small site. River and surrounding area is gorgeous. May come back for Salmon fishing. Most sites are more secluded than they appear to be on maps. Toilets don’t have sinks and weren’t stocked with TP, and firepit cooking grates are a bit high but good design.

Campsite #7 is very close to sites 5 and 6. Overall though, nice location with decent view of river. Did have difficulty finding a place to pitch a large tent, but managed it in the end.

Its a gem and has been for over 45 years. Outpost cafe is open so you can have your latte too.

had a beautiful campsite, neighbors were friendly, and the river was super pretty.

Beautiful, clean campsite. Quiet neighbors. Clean bathrooms.

The camp host at Alder Glen has set a very high standard for our future visits to the BLM campgrounds in the Nestucca River Recreation Area. The campsites were raked and tidied, fire pits were cleared between campers, and the restrooms were the cleanest and most well stocked with toilet paper that I have ever experienced at a campground. I am also very happy with the reservation system and the opportunity it provided for us to visit one of our favorite campgrounds in Oregon. This is a beautiful and popular spot on the Nestucca River. I would recommend making reservations as early as possible. Even though our trip was in late September, the reserved sites were full and I only saw one vacant first come first serve site that weekend.

Such a beautiful campground that's right along the Nestucca River with a lovely waterfall! We stayed in Campsite #11, which is more secluded from the other sites and that's exactly what we love! Old growth trees throughout the camp that make it more secluded, with Site #9 directly across from the waterfall but we could see it from our site, too. The other sites are beautiful, mostly right along the river, but some just across the camp road, if that's what you like. The sounds of the river and waterfall, lulls you to sleep every night. Made friends with the chipmunks and crested blue jays, there. Great crawdad fishing, we ate like kings! You can fish for trout, as well. There's also a fishing platform for ADA folks that has a sidewalk down to it. The Camp Hosts, Troy and his wife, Gina are the most friendly, fabulous people that truly care about the camp! They keep all the sites spotless, raked, fire pits cleaned out, weed whacked, leaves blown off the sites and the camp road, tidy pit toilets with t-paper well stocked and make rounds every day to keep the visitors safe and work incredibly hard to make sure everyone is happy and the campground pristine! The very best Hosts we have ever met! Kudos are sent to Troy and Gina for being 5- Star Hosts and to BLM for hiring them!😁👍💖 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟! They deserve a huge raise! We stayed here back in July and were so impressed, that we booked more stays. Yes, it's a bit remote, no cell signal and a drive to the town of Beaver for ice for the coolers every few days, but, SO worth it! We will be back, definitely! Thank you so much, for an awesome vacation stay, Troy and Gina! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💖 From, Katrina and Charlie, Site#11 😁👍
