About This Access Site
Located in Tidewater along the Alsea River, Happy Landing RV Park & Marina offers a full-service boat launch facility just 4 miles inland from Highway 101 and the Oregon coast. The site features a dedicated boat ramp, docks, and moorage options, making it convenient for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat users launching on the Alsea River. The facility is situated in a scenic area near the Siuslaw National Forest, offering access to a river popular for fishing, crabbing, and wildlife viewing.

This is a private facility that charges a launch fee (advance reservations recommended). In addition to boat ramp access, Happy Landing provides amenities including an RV park with camping, on-site marina services, and basic facilities. The location provides good access to the tidal lower Alsea River section, making it suitable for both day trips and longer paddling excursions. Given its proximity to the coast and river mouth, paddlers should be aware of tidal influences on water conditions.
