We didn't actually stay here, but drove up to see if it is a possibility next time we come to Sauvie Island. Its a nice clean campground. The RV sites were close together, but adequate. It also has tents and yurts to rent. Its across from the Yacht Club on a small inlet and about 2 miles from the public beach. Spaces were not as far apart as at Reeder's, but less permanent residents. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is hard to rate, on the plus side, there is a lot for the grandkids to do. Its still a working farm with plenty of animals to see, feed, and play with. The staff are extremely friendly and the park is quiet. Lots to do on the island, since a majority is wildlife reserve. The park is rustic, with lots of permanent or what look like permanent residents. Lots of stuff stored on the sites, metal sheds, etc. Definitely not your typical RV "resort". But we enjoyed it and the grandkids are already asking when are we going back. Berry picking in the area, petting farms, beaches, including a clothing optional one, so lots of entertainment. River fishing at the park. Lots of small lake fishing on the island. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We did not stay here, but visited while hiking on the island to update the single prior review from 2002. According to the very friendly and helpful woman staffing the small store, a new website is now available (which I have included above) that gives further information. The prior review described Reeder Beach accurately: rustic, older RV park that seems friendly and comfortable. We drive a 40' motorhome and felt that many of the sites, and the access roads, would be suitable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The rating above is just an estimate between what we think and what others used to plush accommodations would rate it. Reeder's Beach is very rustic and the facilities are ancient but clean. Lots of shade on the interior lots with sites overlooking the Columbia River. Half of the island is a wildlife preserve, with the remainder primarily large acreage farms. Due to Oregon's open space preservation laws the land cannot be developed. The island is perfect for beaching (sand beaches all along the Columbia frontage), biking, hiking, bird watching, or picking marion berries growing wild everywhere. Fifteen minutes from the Sauvie Island Bridge is downtown Portland for day adventures (plan a full-day at Powell's Bookstore or nighttime adventures (start with drinks at the Benson, then hit the Jazz bars). We have been spending a couple of weeks a year on Sauvie for the last several years and love it for its tranquility and its location near a large city with a livable atmosphere. There is a more modern campground on the island with concrete pads, etc. further down the road and nearer the beaches. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
