ScoutWe love bringing the RV here with the pups. We come at least monthly. The sites are nice, and some are quite private. It’s a short walk to a swimming beach, which isn’t too busy during the week days and is perfect for a pup swim (even with one reactive little guy)
GuideSuper close to the 101, but all I found were pull offs on the main road. I was passed by a few vehicles I never saw again so maybe they kept going up and found better sites. I ended up car camping because the pull off was cement, but I did see a tent set up on my way out. No service at all for Verizon. You’re halfway up to the cape perpetua lookout on your way out though so I was able to see it early without the crowds.
ScoutGreat location by the beach. Information was easy to get. Lovely site.
ScoutThey haven’t finished construction yet. No electric or bathrooms yet. It is convenient the casino is right there.
GuideIt’s tucked in nicely for peace and quiet. It rained most of the time while we were there so didn’t get to explore very much, but there was a little hiking trail we did right around the campground. Bathrooms and showers were decent.
RangerSecond time to stay here over the last few years. Sites are spread out nicely with lots of surrounding vegetation to have privacy. Fire pits are huge. Some trails around to hike and easy access to OR Coastline in Florence area. Water spigots are nicely spread through out. Many FCFS sites along with reservation ones
GuidePleasant campground with a lot going for it. The tent camping is nice with a few spaces under tall trees. They vary in size from space for one to three tents. There are picnic tables and fire rings. Water faucets are spaced throughout the campground for water. There is a swimming pool with sprinkler area and wading pool, basketball court and activity center. The trail system through the old growth trees is quite beautiful. This is a membership campground but does offer public camping. RV spaces, cabins and yurts are available as well. It is very close to town and the beach.
TravelerStopped here for the night. Got the last open spot on a Tuesday. Got site 2. Close to the neighbors it’s pretty flat if you back up close to the rocks. The grounds and trail smell like horse poop. Goes away if the wind blows in an another direction. The trail to the beach has a lot of horse poop as there’s someone up the road that does horse back riding tours to the beach. Only a few sites we got luck and got the last available site on a Tuesday in July. Got site 2 it’s pretty level if you get up close to the rocks in the side. Campground host was very friendly. Cleanest pit toilet I have ever seen.
ScoutWe had lots of fun trying out different sites using this helpful guide and maps.

Crawdad hunting: Try the creek waters at Whittaker Creek Recreation Site where campers report good success. "A good place to catch some crawdads!" notes Skyler A., who enjoyed the peaceful setting alongside the creek and river.
Hiking old growth trails: The trail system around Alsea Falls Recreation Site offers multiple difficulty levels within walking distance of campsites. "The trailhead most commonly mentioned is about half a mile up the trail at the day use area," explains Denny B., who recommends bringing trekking poles for the second waterfall. "Two gorgeous waterfalls on one hike, but it can be close to 6 miles round trip from the campground."
Kayaking and exploration: Paddle the calm waters at Hult Pond where motorized boats aren't permitted. "The pond was great for kayaking and there is plenty to explore if you aren't worried about a little elevation in your hike," shares Nicki G., who visited during spring break when fewer people were camping.
Peaceful water access: Campers consistently praise the sound of nearby water features at Armitage Park & Campground, particularly for sleeping. "It was right next to the river. The sound put me right too sleep," shares Tim W., who appreciated the quiet nights.
Clean facilities: The bathroom and shower facilities at Richardson Park & Campground receive high marks from campers. "Showers and bathroom were very clean and water was hot," notes Nathan D., who found the staff and volunteers "extremely friendly" during his stay.
Privacy between sites: The natural spacing at Hubert K McBee Memorial Campground provides a more secluded experience. "Large sites in a private campground," reports MeLinda W., who noted the "large sites close to Alsea River under old Doug Fir. Shady and quiet."
No cell service in remote areas: Be prepared for communications blackout at several campgrounds. "We lost cell service about an hour before we even got there, and didn't have any the whole time there," cautions Grace A. about her stay at Hult Pond. "There's no cell service at all so I'd plan accordingly."
Limited amenities at primitive sites: Many campgrounds like Hubert K McBee Memorial Campground offer basic facilities only. "Come prepared for limited services. There was a vaulted toilet and trash cans," advises Kandi R., who still found the area "Beautiful and Secluded."
High weekend demand: Summer weekends fill quickly at most established campgrounds in the area. One camper at Alsea Falls noted, "I was able to show up and get one of the 6 camp sites for 2 nights without reservations," but this experience in the off-season differs from peak summer months when reservations are essential.
Consider shoulder seasons: For a quieter experience with kids, target spring or fall visits. "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," notes Nicki G. about her Hult Pond experience.
Look for beach and water access: Tillicum Beach Campground offers family-friendly water features, though some challenges exist. "Camp hosts were amazing only one issue I found is it can be hard to make it down to the beach if you are not in great shape. Big rocks to climb over and down to make it to the beach defenitaly not ADA accessible," reports Heather L.
Check for playground access: Some campgrounds offer play structures for children. According to Tanya A., Richardson Park is "within 20 minutes of Eugene, Oregon, close enough if you forgot something, you can drive to town and get it" and has "a small playground area with a swing set."
Site length limitations: Check specific site dimensions before booking. At Tillicum Beach Campground, Kelly H. learned, "30' means 30' (total, truck AND trailer)," causing them to switch sites upon arrival.
Access challenges on forest roads: RVers report tight access at some remote campgrounds. "We have a 38 foot rv. We got stuck in a ditch. Rv almost tipped over trying to u turn," warns Dillon & Soren A. about Hult Pond. Their advice: "If you go down the main lower path you will find a area big enough to u turn! Dont do it until then!"
Utilities availability: Only some campgrounds offer hookups. At Armitage Park & Campground, Melissa F. notes, "Almost every camping space has an electric outlet, water hookup and its own septic hookup if you an rv camper. Tent campers can use the hookups as well if you want to."
