This review is on the rental boats and staff. Did not go on a charter…read more The boats are definitely the best value in the area. $70 for four hours including 3 crab rings is a great deal. They will tell you where to go. The boats are your standard 14'.5' aluminum boat with a 9 HP outboard on it. The motor ran great, it was also new for the season. You need to leave your card as a deposit. I'm not crazy about doing that, but not a big deal. They guy working there was very nice and helpful. The store is pretty small, but has plenty of snacks and drinks as well as fishing supplies and bait, live and refrigerated. I'm not leaving a five star for one reason, they require you to clean the boat when you get back. I was beat from pulling pots and really not in the mood to wash down a boat. They have a hose, so you basically wash everything down to the back and then use a pail to remove the water. The positive is they had the hose right there on the dock next to the boat. I brought my own pots so it was nice to wash them down there instead of later. Big plus for me.

My boyfriend and I finally decided to take that crabbing boat tour we'd been telling ourselves for…read moreyears we were going to do. It turned out to be a beautiful day at the beach to top it all off. You pay in the store and they do charge an extra percent if you're paying with a card (don't remember how much) which is a tad annoying but you get over it. Then it's time to head to the boat and meet the extremely friendly and funny crew to head out to sea. The way the crabbing works is that they set pots in the morning and then whichever boat you're on, you pick up a string of pots along the way. Pot after pot the crab were overflowing and everyone has to help! Watch out for the claws, those crabs aren't playing around. We had great luck and caught a TON of crabs. I highly recommend having the crabs cooked & cleaned onsite. We paid under $20 for 34+ crabs. We had crab for weeks! Cost is reasonable, $55 per adult and seemed pretty kid friendly above the age of 5 or so. Will definitely do again!

Yes, this park does have a few full -time RV sites, which is not an issue. We've always booked a waterfront, back in site for our stays. The view of Alsea Bay is worth it and we can watch the tides go in and out, as well as watching crabbers coming in with their haul. (They offer boat and equipment rentals for crabbing.) There is a large field on the east side of the property for dry camping and waterfront tent camping. There you'll find a beach volleyball court, a tetherball and a basketball hoop as well. I love the abundance of birds and wildlife in this area. There is a fabulous little Bakery within walking distance of this park; "Pacific Sourdough," positively worth visiting. Great location - within walking distance to the beach, downtown and the bridge.

Family has been camping here for 25 yrs to do some crabbing. Usually 4 days in September. They've…read morealso camped here other times through out the year, in September though they usually reserve up to 4 spaces. For the record, this is a nice campground. It's the customer service that could use some help. Family has always been booked on sites with full hookups, nice paved spaces. This year another family member traveled from the East coast to join in as they prefer west coast crabs. Going to check in, they were told they'd been booked in the overflow area, gravel, no hook ups. No apology, instead got major attitude from woman who's comment was"oh you've stayed out there before" - wrong & then a shrug with "You should have checked your confirmation " My family (mom, dad, aunt & uncle) are in their late 70's. Uncle a disabled vet. Having a flat, paved space with hookups would have been nice. If she'd have looked back at her records, she could have seen they'd never been in the overflow area. They'll be lucky if my family comes back. Again, great campground, but do check your confirmations (these were reserved back in April) and to be treated so rudely (this isn't the first time she's been rude) this was just the icing on the cake so to speak & thus the 2 star rating. The gentleman that works there knows my family & was apologetic, he's a great guy - just beware of the woman.

We were parked in the Fred Meyer parking lot when an employee came out and told us that the police would come tell us to move soon. After calling various inns and RV parks around town, we eventually just decided to try this place since we felt like we were out of options. The Camp Host Gavin met its outside around midnight and was not only very helpful but also extremely kind. He got us set up in a spot and we quickly went to sleep. The next morning, we met some of the staff and fellow campers who were equally as friendly. We even had a few people offer to help us dump our RV for the first time. It was generally a great environment and I wish we had spent more time there. There are a few RV spots right on the water that are probably the most sought after but this place is located right in town on the river. I highly recommend staying her
