RIVER EDGE

River Edge is located in the eastern part of the Siuslaw National Forest, which encompasses over 630,000 acres as it stretches from the lush forests of the coastal mountains to the Oregon Dunes and Pacific Coast. The Alsea River flows 48.5 miles from the town of Alsea out to the Pacific Coast at Waldport and Alsea Bay.

Recreation: The campground's open play field is ideal for games like Frisbee and soccer, so campers are encouraged to bring sports equipment to make use of the space. The river beckons visitors for canoeing and swimming. Anglers cast for Coho and Chinook salmon and Steelhead trout.

Nearby: Sandy beaches stretch north and south of Waldport, about 25 minutes from the campground. Beautiful Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, where whale watching is a popular activity, 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.
