Hikers and anglers will find Hubert K McBee Memorial Campground well-suited to a creek-side stay in the Coast Range foothills outside Alsea, Oregon. The campground sits directly on the trail connecting Alsea Falls and Green Peak Falls, and at least one site has the trail running through it. Sites are large, set under old Douglas fir, and positioned close to the Alsea River, giving campers direct water access without a long walk.
Amenities are minimal but functional. Reviewers confirm a vault toilet and trash service on site, along with covered picnic tables. The campground is county-managed and free, though reservations are available by phone via the number posted at the entrance. Signage at the entrance has caused some confusion, with one sign indicating reservations are required while another appears to welcome walk-ins. Cell service is limited in this area, so plan accordingly before arriving.
Crowding has come up in multiple reviews, and the campground draws a local crowd. It is not primarily an overflow site for neighboring campgrounds, so showing up without a reservation during busy weekends carries some risk. The forest canopy provides heavy shade throughout the sites. Tj B. describes it as "a good location and right on the creek," which captures what the campground does best. Campers who want hookups or developed facilities can explore camping near Alsea for a broader range of options, or consider Miller Road Dispersed — BLM Alsea Falls Area for a more dispersed experience nearby.
