Looking through parking spur #8 to the group fire ring.  The vault toilet restroom is seen on the right.

The gate is locked until a reservation arrives.  Contact the campground host to coordinate your time of arrival.

You must ford a small stream to enter this group site.   Due to this steep entrance and limited parking, trailers and large RVs are not recommended.

The Alsea Group Site has individual parking spurs for RVs and campers. 

There is a group area with a large fire ring and picnic tables.  Some of the parking spurs also have a picnic table and some have a fire ring.  The Alsea Group Site use to be for individual campers.  However, misuse of campers caused restriction to group reservations only. 

Because the Alsea Group site use to be used for individual campsites, families in the group have some sense of privacy by parking in the separated parking spurs.

Several parking spurs are quite long.  Most are partially shaded.

Some parking spurs have steps down to the picnic table.

You can hear the sound of the waterfall and creek from your campsite.

It is 4 miles from Hwy 34 to the Canal Creek entrance.  By the time you get to mile 3 you're wondering if you somehow missed it.  The road is narrow and winding but there are turnouts for passing. 

Canal Creek Campground consists of 2 group sites: Canal Creek and Alsea.

The Alsea Group site can accommodate large RVs and trailers but there is not room in the Canal Creek site.  The entrance to Canal Creek is not safe for large RVs or trailers due to the steep road crossing the stream.

The group fire ring is next to the pavillion.  No matter the weather, you'll have a dry place for gathering.

Apple trees provide shade and beauty to this charming, remote, group site near Waldport, Oregon.

Apples mature in the fall and attract wildlife from bear to woodpeckers. 

There is plenty of room for all your tents AND for playing games in the large field.

Fishing and hiking are common activities here. 

The Alsea Group Site used to be available for individual campers.  Due to abuse by some of those campers, it has been redesignated as a group reservation-only campsite.  All payments are made via http://www.recreation.gov.  Notice how many autos are allowed with the reservation.  Additional vehicles may be allowed by purchasing a car pass from the Campground Host.  These car passes can be used for parking in the scenic areas along the Oregon Coast.

Be sure to coordinate your arrival time with the off-site Campground Hosts. 

Group gathering area near the restroom.

There is plenty of room to drive on the gravel road and park in the parking spurs.  Please leave room for an emergency vehicle to pass through on the road.

Parking spurs range from full sun to full shade.

Although there is not a large playing field, children can safely ride their bikes on the gravel road.  For the most privacy, close the gate.

This beautiful Oregon native wildflower takes 5 years to mature and bloom for the first time.  So you can see why it is important not to pick the wildflowers!
