Blackberry

The campground hosts were wonderful. They went out of their way to be helpful and kind.
For those that haven't been here before - be aware that this campground is close enough to the coast to be quite cool even when it is hot inland. We were surprised that it was so breezy. Even though it was July we were glad we had lots extra clothes to put on in the evening (we were tenting).
Most of the campsites are shaded by large trees. Our campsite (#17) was an exception as it was exposed to the hot sun in the day. It also seemed to catch the wind more than campsites that were tucked away in the trees.

Relaxed level riverside sites, friendly hosts & guests. A very clean and peaceful place.
We will come again!

Such a nice quiet place close to the beach but away from the bustle and the wind. The person that was in the spot before us broke down and they moved us with no problem and no fuss. Will definitely go back again

Enjoyed our stay at BlackBerry. The camp host were great and kept the campground very nice. They were attentive and loved seeing them check in through our stay. Great location that made day trips to the beach very easy. Note there is not much shore line on the river at the campsite but easy access on boat ramp to but in floats, kayaks and the likes.

It is a beautiful site by the Alsea River. The fall foliage was delicious. The site felt less than rustic because residential areas encircle it. The houses were not noisy, but neighboring campers' generators were during the supper hour. (I did not see any posted rules about this, but there should be some. ) The Rec.gov site seemed to indicate that we'd need to reserve, but I guess we wasted the $8 fee because the campground was mostly empty. The people we met here (during this Covid period) were nice, but not wearing masks.

We camped in late October and it was so cold in our VW that we struggled to sleep one night, but the days before and after, spent at the beach just 17 miles to the west were wonderfully sunny and warm. I wonder what makes that pocket of cool there in the woods by the river? There was cold air coming from the North, but I would have thought the forests and coastal range offered some protection from that. Blackberry is probably a great summer escape for that reason.

Campground manager needs better records for online reservations

The new camp hosts are really nice!

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.

Had a great time

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.
