    Alsea Falls Recreation Site accommodates tent and RV campers with pets throughout its wooded campgrounds. The site maintains pet-friendly policies across all 16 sites, with spacious, private spots often backed by the South Fork of the Alsea River. Campsites feature log fence enclosures that create natural boundaries, beneficial for controlling pets while camping. Nearby Hubert K McBee Memorial Campground provides a more primitive free option for pet owners seeking seclusion with their animals. Both locations maintain clean vault toilets and allow pets on their hiking trails. Some campsites in the area require reservations through recreation.gov, while others remain first-come, first-served.

    The hiking trails connecting Alsea Falls and Green Peak Falls offer excellent pet exercise opportunities, though terrain can be challenging in spots with dogs. The trails span approximately 6 miles round-trip from the campground with pet access throughout. Salmonberry County Park Campground provides additional pet-friendly options with electric hookups along the Alsea River, though campers note almost no privacy between sites. The riverside location creates swimming opportunities for both campers and their pets during summer months. Sites in the region typically do not have specific pet amenities like waste stations or designated dog parks, so campers should pack appropriate supplies. Local roads leading to campgrounds can be narrow and winding, sometimes making navigation with larger vehicles challenging when traveling with pets.

      Albany-Corvallis KOA

      Tent camping

      Well we did not know that when tent camping you can only stay two weeks we were originally told we could stay as long as we wanted as long as we moved and did not stay in a spot more than 7 days. Not a bad campground just don't like the two week stay rule. Plus my cat loves it. There is a natural that can be walked, a dog park, swimming pool, also a place to throw disc golf disc's.

      Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

      Pretty area, very near to Eugene and Coburg

      Small, convenient campground near Eugene. Large dog park adjacent, which is very convenient when traveling with your four legged friends.

      Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

      Charming Campground

      This is one of my favorite campgrounds that we’ve come across in OR, it’s very charming & quaint. Perfect place for dog owners as they have the best dog park; it’s actually the community dog park, so they’re always dogs/people there. The sites here are spaced enough so you don’t feel like you’re in a traditional RV park. The hosts are nice, grounds are clean and there’s great opportunities for walking & fishing.

      Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

      Great park close to Eugene

      Loved this park! The campsites were nicely situated so you weren’t right on top of each other and the park was great. There is an off leash dog park and access to the river. The laundry and showers were closed due to COVID but the public restrooms were still open and were just fine. Would definitely stay here again

      Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

      Bigger Than Expected, Convenient

      It's $33 a night, but hey, at least you get a lot of somethings for it. These are 32 reservable sites, pretty well spread out with - bonus - vegetation between some campsites. Overall it kind of has a little bit of a sanitized, urban feel with what's on the outskirts of the campground, but it's fairly open and roomy, there's a boat ramp to the large McKenzie River, an active park host in an active go-cart, a volleyball court, lots of room to walk and walk dogs (includes a 2-acre dog park), horseshoe pits and, because it's just a few miles north of Eugene I suspect, wi-fi (that could be a good or bad thing). Drinking water, flush toilets? But of course. You won't be blown-away, but you won't be disappointed. A clean, well-organized camping area, a step up from KOAs for those true campers out there (and you know who you are...).

      Creekside Retreat at Triangle Lake

      Orwellian glamping

      Advertised as a pet friendly glamping space. Brought my dog and upon arrival was told dogs are not allowed inside tent. On the website it states dogs must be on leash and not left alone outside. How is anyone able to sleep inside a tent while not having your pet alone outside not being allowed inside tent? Apparently my campsite is recorded audio and video by the hosts and we were unnecessarily aggressively confronted. The creek we camped next to was polluted with pet feces, nitrous cartridges and used cigarette filters. Overall we left and felt scammed. They charged us $25 for wood we never burned

      Premier RV Resort at Eugene

      Great park and perfect for access to Eugene, OR

      I've stayed here a number of times and each time it's a pleasure. Nice big sites, super clean park and facilities and nice staff. I personally stay in all sorts of locations, but usually stop here for a couple of nights to take advantage of the great stores in Eugene to stock up before heading off for more primitive camping. This park is pet friendly with 2 reasonable dog yards and there doesn't seem to be a quantity or breed problem (I'm parked next to a rig with 2 pitbulls, a small mixed breed and 2 cats). Everyone I've encountered in here is super respectful. They also have a small inexpensive laundry. While walking around with my 4 dogs, I noticed they have Tepees for rent also. I always feel safe and comfortable when I stay here. The only downside is that it's right off I-5 so lots of freeway noise.

      Eugene Kamping World RV Park

      Nice, In A Generic Way

      We stayed here because we had an appointment in Eugene in the morning and wanted to be somewhere close the night before.

      Though this isn't the type of park we usually prefer to stay at, it does a good job at being a good, safe, basic RV park.

      There are activities right on site: horseshoe pits, playground, half court basketball hoop, small dog park (small is referring to the size of the park, it's for all dog sizes), and rec room.  The free showers and laundry room were nice and clean.  The park as a whole was nicely maintained and clean, though some residents seem to be pushing the limits on that on their individual sites.

      There's a little store with basic items in the office, as well as a $1 DVD rental.

      There's bulk propane on site at $3/gal, and a dump station (free for guests, $10 for non guests).

      Good strong free wifi.  Good cell reception here as well.

      There are recycling bins here but they don't specify what they allow.  It's just the generic blue toters that say "recycling."

      It's near the road and near a TA truck stop, so there's noise from that, but it wasn't obnoxious.

      Lots of long termers here, some of them look really settled in.  Sites are really close together.  We didn't have neighbors on either side of us, thank goodness.

      With fees, etc our stay was $49 for a water and electric site.  FHU was just a few dollars more, but since the dump is free for guests we went that route and saved a couple of dollars.  Way too expensive but I suppose it's the proximity to Eugene.  We weren't asked about pets when we checked in, there don't seem to be any restrictions or additional fees.


    Guide to Alsea

    Alsea, Oregon sits in the central Oregon Coast Range at approximately 300 feet elevation, characterized by dense Douglas fir forests and the meandering Alsea River system. The area's climate features mild, wet winters and dry summers with temperatures ranging 15-20 degrees cooler than nearby valley locations. The region's campgrounds primarily occupy secluded wooded sites with gravel roads leading to most locations, often with limited or no cell service coverage.

    What to do

    Mountain biking trails: At Alsea Falls Recreation Site, riders find excellent access to multiple trails. The site connects to "trails that cater to mountain bikes," according to Denny B., who notes the trail system is "less frequented, and for me that means more attractive." Trail difficulty varies significantly across the network.

    Fishing spots: The Alsea River system offers multiple access points for anglers. Siuslaw National Forest Blackberry Campground provides direct river entry where according to carl, it provides "access for swimming and fishing." MeLinda W. notes this campground might be especially appealing to those seeking fish: "a fisherman may" consider "it a destination place."

    Waterfall exploration: Beyond the main falls, visitors can discover additional cascades in the area. According to Molly H., "The falls were full from all the rain and the forest was just gorgeous." For those willing to hike farther, the rewards increase. As Tj B. describes, "if you venture further; about 2 moderate miles, you find 'Green peak falls' which for my money is a way better experience."

    What campers like

    Secluded camping spots: Hult Pond Recreation Area offers primitive camping with notable isolation. Nicki G. describes, "I went during my spring break and I was lucky that it was too cold for most people to camp there. It was beautiful and quiet (other than the 9pm daily goose choir)." The pond provides additional recreation options as "great for kayaking."

    River swimming access: Multiple campgrounds feature swimming holes for summer cooling. Blackberry Campground provides what Callie A. calls a "wonderful place to swim" with river access that's "perfect for swimming and wading" according to Emma L. James P. highlights the "lazy shallow rivers" in the area that provide family-friendly water activities during summer months.

    Elevation camping: Marys Peak Campground sits at higher elevation than other area options, creating different experiences. Sonja O. notes it "can get cold at night since it is at a higher altitude and weather changes quickly." This small campground contains "seven sites" according to G.Allen H., who adds there are "many trails and also botanical garden."

    What you should know

    Weather preparedness: The higher elevation campgrounds require additional planning. Ben M. states that at Marys Peak, "the peak is the highlight, unbeatable views" but meredith L. warns about "a massive amount of horse flies and normal black flies, which swarmed me every time I tried to cook."

    Water availability: Limited water sources exist at many sites. At Hubert K McBee Memorial Campground, Kandi R. advises to "come prepared for limited services." Jason W. clarifies that the campground "DO have restrooms and...garbage services" contrary to some reports, but fresh water remains scarce.

    Road conditions: Access roads to multiple campgrounds present challenges. The route to Hult Pond includes difficult terrain with "no cell service about an hour before we even got there" according to Grace A. Dillon & Soren A. had a more severe experience: "We have a 38 foot RV. We got stuck in a ditch. RV almost tipped over trying to u-turn."

    Tips for camping with families

    Dog friendly campgrounds near Alsea: Beverly Beach State Park Campground maintains pet-friendly policies throughout its facilities. Tiffany E. states it's "Family Friendly (including dogs)" with "easy access to the beach through the campground." The campground provides "nice spaced sites" according to Jeff K., which helps manage pets in camp.

    Educational opportunities: Several campgrounds offer learning experiences. Beverly Beach provides "nice educational programs for kids" according to Kristen W., who also notes the "firewood conveniently available." Visitors have reported wildlife viewing opportunities with Debbie I. mentioning "We seen stellar jays and a woodpecker."

    Quiet time enforcement: Campground noise levels vary significantly across locations. Salmonberry County Park Campground offers what Nick H. calls "a small quiet campground that is just relaxing" though MeLinda W. notes the sites are "fairly open" with "almost no privacy" which affects noise transmission between campsites at busy times.

    Tips from RVers

    Site accessibility: Tillicum Beach Campground presents challenges for larger rigs. Ken C. advises it's "best for tent campers" with "very tight fit for medium to larger rigs." Some waterfront sites require specific parking orientation as Laura M. explains, "there is a line of sites where you would pull in parallel to the site."

    Hookup limitations: Most campgrounds near Alsea offer partial or no hookups. Salmonberry provides "power hook ups, but no water, so make sure you fill up your tanks before you get there" according to Nick H. Some facilities charge extra for amenities, as Nick adds, "you have to pay for showers."

    Reservation strategy: Marcus K. recommends Tillicum Beach campers "make sure you get a site facing the ocean. If you can't get one, find another campground." Cassie C. offers an insider tip: "People reserve and don't show up...so if the sign says campground is full, still ask around. We got a spot on a Friday in summer this way."
