Nice little Campground by the river. All the guests were respectful with keeping the noise down. Not a lot of access points to the river though. During the heat of the day got a little crowded at the bottom of the boat ramp.

This is a nice quiet campground with many large campsites. It has areas of big tall fir trees and green space for playing outdoor games. The camp hosts were so nice. They are very proactive and take good care of the campground. Since our stay there was near the end of August, the river was too low for kayaking, but still nice for swimming on a hot afternoon. Between 30-40 minutes drive away each, we spent time in Yachets, Seal Rock and Beaver Creek State Park.

We loved our campsite next to the beautiful Alsea River... My surfer husband went for a long swim and got up the next day, drove to the beach and went surfing!!! The campground was awesome and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed visiting with them. We had a great spot for new (to us) little pop-up camper and enjoyed the firepit and picnic table for our meals. It was a perfect 3 days!! Except for one thing.....the people across from us (who were very nice) used a noisy generator twice a day....never after 10pm, which I know is the regulation, but still it was very irritating to hear that roaring sound for an hour each evening... ugh.... (Maybe there should be a designated area for people with generators???) Aside from that, we LOVED Blackberry Campground and hope to return some day!!! Thank you so much!!!

Blackberry campground is one of those hidden gems in the Forest Service system. It is in verdent Alsea River valley 18 miles from the coast...close enough to the coast for great sleeping by night and inland enough for wonderful river play.
