Amazing location! Tons of room to spread out, oversized fire pit outside and one under the gazebo, lots of picnic benches, river access, electricity, water spigot, very private area, camp host was wonderful, lots of parking, lighting under the gazebo, 4 bathrooms, awesome covered gazebo area which has picnic benches a food prep station, sink and two bbq areas with a hood above them. I loved that there is no cell reception out there either!! The closest spot to put in the river and end at River Edge is called Missouri Bend, that's too far of a float...we put in at Campbell Park and got out at Salmonberry Campground and just shuttled floaters. The water was still high enough in June to float. Mid July-August it's pretty tough to float the Alsea in this area because of how low the water is.
Cons/things to consider:
Water smells like rotten eggs (it's my understanding this is due to high levels of sulfer or something like that).
No showers
While there are 4 bathrooms, which are very well maintained, some in the group weren't the biggest fan of the pit toilets.
Overall I personally give this place a 9.5 out of 10, it's great!!
Please note, we visited in June, however we went to visit in January to scope the place out. The photos I am posting are from a GORGEOUS January trip out there that don't have any people in the photos.

Ok, This is a very nice RV Campground. Pull through, sweet little creek running thru, very clean BUT the bathrooms were the very best I've ever seen in a campground/RV resort. The price was higher than normal, but worth every dime. The camp host is amazing, even gave me a hand getting up and down the stairs

Just went for our 2025 annual camping at Rivers Edge for 3 nights. Let me tell you, they were the nicest hosts we have experienced by far. Everything was mowed, the vault bathrooms were clean (even inside the bowl), and floor was spotless. Plenty of toilet paper for our group and even came and checked our garbage to see if we needed anything hauled off. Which isn’t their responsibility. The hosts wife had a basket full of lapel pins, koozies, and glow items for the kids to choose from. They loaned us their horseshoes and a brand new LED frisbee to throw.
You can tell they enjoy doing this. They definitely go above and beyond what is required of them.
We even left for a bit and saw them shoveling what looks like years of over growth (moss, dirt, weeds, pine needles) along the curbs and sweeping it up. You can actually see the 6” curb that was about an 1” or 2” in places.
Didn’t remember their names but hope they come back next year.

The space was huge and perfect for our multi-family camping trip. The covered area is incredible! The camp host, Dan, was GREAT! He and his wife brought out a basket of goodies for all of the kids in our group that had activity books, pins, crayons and stickers, it was such a sweet touch. The river is beautiful and perfect for our small kids. The bathrooms were clean as they could be for vault toilets and well maintained by the camp host. We did seem to find a few dog poo piles in the field and the management that came to visit was not friendly. Overall, we would stay here again!

We stayed at River Edge Campground and had a great time! Just a heads up—this place is completely off the grid. There’s zero cell service (literally none), so make sure to download directions and maps ahead of time because once you’re out there, you’re fully unplugged. It added to the peaceful vibe and made it easier to disconnect and just enjoy being in nature.
The campground itself is super quiet and tucked away, which we loved. It’s about a 30-minute drive to Waldport, and the road isn’t bad at all, pretty smooth and scenic. The sites were clean and had a good amount of space, and falling asleep to the sound of the river was such a treat.
The bathrooms could definitely use some improvement; they're not the best, but it’s also a campground, so I went in with realistic expectations. Just something to keep in mind if you’re someone who needs a bit more comfort.
All in all, it’s a great little spot if you’re looking to disconnect and enjoy some peace and quiet in the forest. Would definitely camp here again!
