About River Edge Group Campground

Campground in Oregon.

Nestled along the picturesque Alsea River in the heart of Oregon's Willamette National Forest, River Edge Group Campground offers RV travelers a genuine escape into the Pacific Northwest's natural splendor. This intimate camping destination provides the perfect base for exploring one of Oregon's most scenic regions, where towering Douglas firs frame crystal-clear waters and the forest air fills your lungs with the scent of adventure.

The campground's riverside location is its greatest asset. Campers wake to the gentle sounds of the Alsea River flowing past their sites, creating a serene soundtrack that instantly melts away the stress of daily life. The forest setting provides natural shade and privacy, making each campsite feel like a secluded retreat despite being part of a welcoming community of fellow outdoor enthusiasts. With a solid 4.7-star rating from 32 reviews, visitors consistently praise the peaceful atmosphere and well-maintained grounds.

For those seeking outdoor recreation, the opportunities are endless. The Alsea River is renowned for fishing, attracting anglers hoping to catch steelhead and salmon depending on the season. Hiking trails crisscross the surrounding national forest, offering everything from leisurely riverside walks to more challenging woodland adventures. The area's old-growth forests provide incredible opportunities for nature photography, wildlife viewing, and simply reconnecting with the natural world.

The location on East Alsea Highway puts you in proximity to charming local communities while maintaining that genuine wilderness feel. The small town of Alsea itself offers basic services and local character, while the broader region provides access to some of Oregon's most treasured natural attractions. Whether you're an avid angler, hiking enthusiast, or someone who simply wants to unplug and breathe in the forest air, this national forest campground delivers an authentic Oregon experience.

The group campground setting makes this an excellent choice for family reunions, camping clubs, or larger parties wanting to enjoy the outdoors together without sacrificing the intimate forest experience that makes Oregon's wilderness special.

Just went for our 2025 annual camping at Rivers Edge for 3 nights. Let me tell you, they were the nicest hosts we have experienced by far. Everything was mowed, the vault bathrooms were clean (even inside the bowl), and floor was spotless.

Just went for our 2025 annual camping at Rivers Edge for 3 nights. Let me tell you, they were the nicest hosts we have experienced by far. Everything was mowed, the vault bathrooms were clean (even inside the bowl), and floor was spotless. Plenty of toilet paper for our group and even came and checked our garbage to see if we needed anything hauled off. Which isn’t their responsibility. The hosts wife had a basket full of lapel pins, koozies, and glow items for the kids to choose from. They loaned us their horseshoes and a brand new LED frisbee to throw. You can tell they enjoy doing this. They definitely go above and beyond what is required of them. We even left for a bit and saw them shoveling what looks like years of over growth (moss, dirt, weeds, pine needles) along the curbs and sweeping it up. You can actually see the 6” curb that was about an 1” or 2” in places. Didn’t remember their names but hope they come back next year.

The space was huge and perfect for our multi-family camping trip. The covered area is incredible! The camp host, Dan, was GREAT! He and his wife brought out a basket of goodies for all of the kids in our group that had activity books, pins, crayons and stickers, it was such a sweet touch.

The covered area is incredible! The camp host, Dan, was GREAT! He and his wife brought out a basket of goodies for all of the kids in our group that had activity books, pins, crayons and stickers, it was such a sweet touch. The river is beautiful and perfect for our small kids. The bathrooms were clean as they could be for vault toilets and well maintained by the camp host. We did seem to find a few dog poo piles in the field and the management that came to visit was not friendly. Overall, we would stay here again!

We stayed at River Edge Campground and had a great time! Just a heads up—this place is completely off the grid.

Just a heads up—this place is completely off the grid. There’s zero cell service (literally none), so make sure to download directions and maps ahead of time because once you’re out there, you’re fully unplugged. It added to the peaceful vibe and made it easier to disconnect and just enjoy being in nature. The campground itself is super quiet and tucked away, which we loved. It’s about a 30-minute drive to Waldport, and the road isn’t bad at all, pretty smooth and scenic. The sites were clean and had a good amount of space, and falling asleep to the sound of the river was such a treat. The bathrooms could definitely use some improvement; they're not the best, but it’s also a campground, so I went in with realistic expectations. Just something to keep in mind if you’re someone who needs a bit more comfort. All in all, it’s a great little spot if you’re looking to disconnect and enjoy some peace and quiet in the forest. Would definitely camp here again!

We held our annual family reunion at River Edge the last full weekend in July 2025. We've been camping there for several years because the facility meets all our needs, and the hosts have been fantastic. This year the new hosts (Dan and Cheryl) greeted us very warmly and even gifted the grandkids with games and toys! We were having a great time until Land & Leisure fired our hosts during our vacation, leaving us without hosts. We won't speculate on what issues may have existed, but the timing and handling of this situation was highly unprofessional. The hosts and facility get the 5 stars. L & L, none. We will be looking for other accommodations next year.

This group site is reservation only, and books a year in advance. It’s very popular with groups that come year after year. There is a nice pavilion with charcoal grills, a fire pit under pavilion, and a huge stone fire pit outside on the field. The grassy field is large enough for all sorts of outdoor games. Lots of paved pathways to explore down to the river, swim, put your tubes or rafts in. There are two bathrooms that are vault only. No sinks. There are two running potable faucets at each end of campground. There is power to the pavilion and at night you can even switch on the lights. Plenty of tables. A sink with faucet in pavilion. Garbage cans at pavilion and bathrooms. Camping is by rv (in the partially shaded lot, and lots of shady places for tents. Dogs are allowed. Wood is sold by host (when no fire restrictions). This is a great place for family reunions, weddings (yes! We had one this summer), corporate retreats/team building, class reunions (had those as well) or even the friends/family coworkers weekend getaway. There is a Day use area directly to the right when you pull in with grassy area, picnic tables and a small canoe/kayak/raft launch. It also has a M/W vault toilet.
