River Edge is a group campground nestled on the banks of the Alsea River, surrounded by large Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, alder trees and blackberries. Groups of families and friends enjoy the area for its great fishing opportunities, as well as its scenic beauty.
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.
The accessible group campground accommodates 100 guests. A large shelter covers several picnic tables. A campfire ring and grills are located under the shelter, and an additional campfire ring is outside the shelter. Drinking water, electricity and four vault toilets are provided.
Firewood may be purchased onsite.
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.
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.
From Waldport, head east on Highway 34 for about 26 miles and look for campground signs on the right.
Service was great. Music was great.
All the food was very good with the exception of my steak. Taste was good, but extremely tough. Hard to drop $50 on a tough steak. That's the risk you take ordering steak. My wife won big with the seared scallops. They were awesome.
This was my first visit to the River's Edge Restaurant. The Restaurant looked great with fantastic views of the Rogue River. The hostess did a great job at getting our party of three seated outside. The menu had some wonderful options, but after waiting for over 30 minutes with no one offering water, or, even acknowledging that we were there, was a bit of a bummer. Sadly we ended up leaving to celebrate our son getting his driver's license somewhere else
A delightful dining experience. Excellent food and service. I love coming here. I sit in the lounge, enjoy the view and browse the menu. I started off with Fried Artichokes, Roasted Beet Salad is to die for and the Osso Bucco is delectable and tender …. Ask to be seated with server “Misty” …. You will love this place …. Oooh and I went back and had an Edge Prime Rib Dip with sweet potato fries ….. Wow!
This place was GREAT! I enjoyed everything about it. Great service… great view…. Great food! And it all was well priced! My beef dip was outstanding, my wife’s veggie wrap was top notch. If I’m ever in Grants pass again this is top of my list!!
