Blackberry is a beautiful, quiet campground located along the Alsea River, ideal for kayaking and family activities. Many campers appreciate the cleanliness of the facilities and the helpful camp hosts. However, issues such as overcrowded sites, noise, and overgrown access to the river have been noted, leading to mixed experiences among visitors.

Not private enough. no. 4 is almost at the center where every one can see. Close to the highway. Too loud at night.

We had a wonderful time always do every year, this year the camp host we’re awful! Rude and not attentive to restrooms.
Trails to the rivers are over grown for the price you pay to camp. More maintenance would be nice. Love the place and will be back

We really enjoyed our stay at site 15. It’s a public-view (not private) spot and we waved at everyone walking and biking toward the boat launch and enjoyed the sounds of the river. There were two vault toilet restrooms nearby that were very clean. Management was friendly and circled around the grounds several times a day. It was a spot that held its own in a destination and had the bonus of being 20 min from the coast. While campfires were not allowed in most of the surrounding areas, they were allowed at this campground and the host had firewood for sale @ $7/bushel. There were sites that were more private on the other side of the campground. Road noise was minimal and the loop format was perfect for a little ones to scooter and bike. Blackberry made our return-to list and we look forward to our next visit!

Campground is very open, so most sights aren't very private. The large trash cans near the day use area smelled so bad that we had to hope the wind wasn't blowing towards our site. The Campground was well maintained otherwise, but there is very little beach areas on the river along the Campground. You can see that some sights used to have walkways down to the water, but they must have stopped keeping those trimmed back at some point. It would be nice if they put some time in to increasing the amount of river access here. Overall, we had a good stay. We met some nice people, caught a lot of crawdad, and enjoyed the river.

Campground was well maintained and clean. The weather was not great and aside from fishing, there not much to do there. Great to read, hang around camp, but we left a day early because we were bored.
