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.

Cute, small campground, but we observed absolutely no camping etiquette while we were there. The cars and tents crammed and overfilled in sites, kids were running around in diapers, babies crying and screaming, people were cursing loudly and yelling at their kids and animals all day and night, dogs unleashed, the campground was loud and seemed unattended, although the hosts were there. We left after one night, after a long, noisy night and an early wake up by more, loud close tenters. Boat ramp present, but the river is only a trickle and only benefits tubers now. We will not be back. Very disappointing. There is a lot of potential for this campground.

We have a large family and it was plenty of room to run for all our kids. River was close for swimming and fishing. Everyone was super nice there! Camp hosts were great!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
