We have camped at Alder Dunes a few times, its seems to be one of those places that always has at least a couple spots available even  at hiliday weekends

First time i camped here i had just moved to Oregon and against the advice of my wife ( a native Oregonian) decided to take off Friday on a Labor Day weekend to camp at the coast..as you can well imagine it was a disaster..by 6 PM we pulled into Alder Dune ( had been on the go since 10 am)..and lo and behold they had a spot.

Wonderful.next to the highway but the dense vegetation dulls the roar.

Some nice trails, grounds well kept..the sites themselves are very varied you can get a huge comfortable site the same price as a squeezed in horrible one.

Mostly good
