About
Overview
Blackberry Campground is perched on a heavily wooded bluff overlooking the Alsea River. The well-maintained campground offers plenty of fishing opportunities, including crawfishing. Swimming in the Alsea River is a popular summer activity.
Recreation
The Alsea River is a favorite spot for drift boating, and a boat ramp is located on-site. Anglers cast by boat or from shore for Coho and Chinook salmon and Steelhead trout. Crawfishing is also a popular activity. The shellfish can often be found along the riverbank.
The area is known for elk hunting, and the campground makes a great base camp for hunting parties.
Facilities
Some sites overlook the river and others are situated beside a large, manicured grassy field. Parking spurs are paved and each site is equipped with a campfire ring and picnic table.
No dump station or electric hookups are available. The nearest dump station is in Waldport.
Natural Features
Blackberry Campground sits among tall cedars and Douglas fir in the Siuslaw National Forest, where blackberry bushes are scattered on the forest floor. The Siuslaw encompasses over 630,000 acres and stretches from the lush forests of the coastal mountains to the Oregon Dunes and beaches of the Pacific Ocean.
The Alsea River flows 48.5 miles from the town of Alsea out to the Pacific Coast at Waldport and Alsea Bay.
Nearby Attractions
Sandy beaches stretch north and south of Waldport, just 20 minutes from the campground. Beautiful Cape Perpetua Scenic Area is another 15 minutes south of Waldport. Mary's Peak is the highest point in Oregon's Coast Range and has been designated a Scenic Botanical Area because of its rich, unique scenery and plants.

Is BLACKBERRY fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
CampHawk watches BLACKBERRY in Tidewater, OR for you. We recheck it every 15 seconds, around the clock, and the moment a site opens we send a text, an email and a push notification — and on Recreation.gov we can put the site straight into your cart, so it is held while you get to your phone.
Searching is free and needs no account — the calendar above is live right now. Watching BLACKBERRY for cancellations is the paid part.
