Salmonberry County Park Campground

The campground is a circle with campsites that are shaded, fairly open, with grass in the center. It is well kept but rather boring in itself. It does well to provide a quiet place out of the sun next to the Alsea River. Some wading pools but fairly nondescript. However, 1.5 miles south is a recreation area with boat slide and killer swim/fishing/floating holes. This campground is a great home base for spending the day at the water.

Easy access for any vehicle. I had Verizon service when I was there. Full amenities. River alongside it to jump in.

Almost no privacy though, and not the kind of campground I normally look for, but considering it was Saturday in the summer and we had no reservations, my friend and I decided to hell with it and threw down our tents and had a fun time regardless.

$25 is steep. This should be much cheaper.

Small, rural campground that is on the Alsea River. There are logging roads for hiking or biking and the river is great for a float. Always a camp host, running water and is very clean.
