Camping at Blackberry near Tidewater

Public campground · Tidewater · 32 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The Alsea River defines much of the campground's character and activities: an on-site boat ramp supports drift boating and fishing, and anglers commonly pursue Coho and Chinook salmon and Steelhead trout from boat or shore. Crawfishing and collecting shellfish along the riverbank are frequent pastimes, and summer swimming in quieter pools is popular when flows permit.

“Camp host was aweful. Cussed and screamed at my husband. Rude and unprofessional behavior. Will try going there one more time but if she is there we will leave. Horrible experience. This was our 5th year there and this was the worst experience. If I could give 0 stars I would. ”

How far ahead to book Blackberry

For July weekends, book about 117 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 52 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,755 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
