Best Campgrounds near Alvadore, OR

1,018 Reviews

Camping opportunities around Alvadore, Oregon range from developed campgrounds to more primitive sites across Lane County. Richardson Park & Campground on Fern Ridge Reservoir provides spacious RV and tent sites with hookups, while Armitage Park near Eugene offers 36 established campsites with amenities including electric hookups, showers, and sanitary dump stations. Several privately operated RV parks like Eugene Kamping World RV Park and Premier RV Resort supplement the county-managed options, making the area suitable for various camping styles.

Seasonal considerations significantly impact camping experiences in the region. Richardson Park operates from April 15 to October 15, while other facilities like Premier RV Resort remain open year-round. "Beautiful trees, with electricity in sites, free showers, bathrooms conveniently located and on a lake," noted one visitor about Richardson Park. Road access to most campgrounds remains good throughout the camping season, with paved sites at many developed campgrounds. The Willamette Valley's moderate climate makes camping viable during spring, summer and fall, though winter camping options become more limited as county parks close for the season.

Waterfront camping receives consistently positive feedback from visitors to the Alvadore region. Fern Ridge Reservoir provides a central recreation feature, with Richardson Park offering proximity to water activities. A camper described it as having "large, spacious tent sites with fire rings & tons of trees," noting the helpful hosts who deliver firewood to sites. The campgrounds surrounding Fern Ridge provide good spacing between sites, with multiple reviews mentioning privacy despite being in developed settings. Hult Pond, a free dispersed camping area approximately 20 miles northwest of Alvadore, offers a more primitive option for those seeking a quieter experience. Cell service varies throughout the region, with some campgrounds reporting limited connectivity, particularly those further from Eugene.

    Doolittle Butte

    Great stars

    Nice big lot. Beautiful views of stars on a clear night. Very remote. Climb an easy dirt road back a few miles. A few deep potholes but nothing too technical.

    BLM Kentucky Falls Road

    Lovely Siuslaws but Slightly Sketchy

    Birdsongs and gorgeous sunrise in the morning! Didn’t feel completely content solo due to some of the characters I drove by on the way up, but all good. Spot definitely had trash and such around, very sad—remember to pack out what you pack in. However, had a great night of sleep with lovely hiking and natural views all around.

    Siuslaw National Forest Carter Lake Campground

    Nice Campground

    This is a nice campground.  The only consideration would be that all the campsites next to the lake are not recommended for people with mobility issues.  The parking is on an upper level with the actual campsite on a lower level accessed by a trail or stairs.  We had originally reserved site 13, but discovered we had to go down a set of stairs to the campsite.  We were able to change our site without any problems to site 5, which was very nice.  The camp host told us that the campsites along the lake are all accessed by stairs or trails.  The camp host was very nice and the highway noise was minimal.

    Sutton Campground

    Nice campground!

    Nice campground in the woods. Friendly staff. Mix of RV and tent sites. I stayed in a tent site with my dog and we had a great hike from a trailhead in the campground all the way to the dunes and finally the beach. Stunning beach with no one on it and beautiful water.

    Beachside State Recreation Site

    Pretty site but very close to 101

    Very pretty sites with trees separating each spot. If you can get a site near the beach that’s ideal. A lot of the sites are right near the road which can be a bit loud. Bathrooms and showers are in good condition.

    Harbor Vista Campground

    Great little gem in Florence OR

    I kinda like this little spot, although I must admit Florence OR isn’t on my to 10 places to stay on the coast. I find the beach access to the ocean (not river) to be a little more difficult here than other locations. Plenty of vegetation here in the park! Trees and bushes that others have described. This did cause us a small problem getting the slide out on the driver’s side while simultaneously lowering the entry steps on the passenger side. Site 25 if your wondering where we stayed exactly. Our picnic table was situated in the rear of the site. The tall vegetation provided great privacy from other campers, but also made it difficult to meet people. We had water, 30 amp power but now other amenities. Some sites do have full hookups. Our 30 foot trailer and truck did fit in the space length wise very nicely. The park is clean and welcoming. A trail will take you from the campsites down to the banks on the jetty. When the tide is out you can search for sand dollars and other tide pool finds. I work remote sometimes but our pre paid AT&T was almost non existent. T-Mobile worked good. Starlink wasn’t happening due to tree canopy obstructions. Yeah, so overall I’d say the park is great. Decently priced, level clean sites, great scenery, quiet. Cons for me, internet access is below average to poor ( your experience may be different), Florence lacks things that I personally am looking for on the Oregon coast, but you’ll need your own reasons for coming here. Mine was a stopover going north and to eat the best Thai food! That’s literally the name of the place lol Best Thai !  But if you’ve found yourself traveling through Florence, and needed a place to stop for a night or a week, I’d recommend here for sure.

    Black Canyon Campground - Willamette NF

    Pleasant Stay

    We needed a spot to stay for the night and after driving to a few others that were (reserve online only) closed we rolled the dice and headed towards this one. It was late and dark but we pulled in in hopes that they had some openings. THEY DID!! We didn’t do much driving around before pulling into a spot but I with we had. We pulled into #4, one of the first available and I DONT recommend any of the first few slots because they sit right next to the highway and that was annoying but our own fault. If I had to redo I’d stay in the 20’s or 30’s because they are closer in where it’s much quieter and those spots back up to a river…super cute! The restrooms were very clean and I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to public restrooms…it was good. All in all the park is very maintained, clean and the staff is great!! Would definitely stay again!

    Nice campground - beware of rd noise

    Great campground with nicely spaced and well maintained sites. Clean restrooms, laundry and pool on site. There is a small playground too. Close to Corvalis but you do get a lot of road noise. Would come back if passing through the area.
