Blackberry Campground

How does Blackberry Campground redefine the camping experience along Oregon’s famed Alsea River? Situated on a forested bluff amidst towering cedars and Douglas firs, this campground combines serene natural beauty with prime access to one of the region's best fishing and boating destinations. Whether perched at a site overlooking the tranquil river or nestled near a large grassy field, campers are treated to an idyllic backdrop perfect for relaxation or recreation.

The campground features 32 well-maintained sites suitable for tents, RVs, or trailers, with paved parking spurs and essential amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, potable water, and vault toilets. While there are no hookups or on-site dump stations, its rustic charm is complemented by its role as a hub for outdoor activities. The Alsea River invites anglers to fish for Coho and Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, or crawfish, while the on-site boat ramp supports drift-boating adventures. In summer, the river’s calmer stretches provide opportunities for swimming or tubing. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the area’s birding and elk-watching opportunities, and the campground also serves as a convenient base for elk hunting in the area.

Located just 18 miles east of Waldport off Highway 34, Blackberry Campground is within a short drive of the Oregon Coast’s stunning attractions. Sandy beaches, the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, and Marys Peak—famed for its panoramic views and botanic diversity—are all within 30 minutes, making this an ideal destination for weekend getaways or extended vacations. For campers seeking both tranquility and activity, Blackberry Campground offers an exceptional blend of riverside leisure and outdoor exploration.
