About This Campsite

Reed Island State Park

Reed Island State Park is a unique and somewhat secluded getaway that offers visitors the chance to experience both nature and history. Known for its natural charm and historical significance, this park is accessible primarily by boat, making it a favored spot for those seeking a touch of adventure. During the summer months, low water levels provide access to the island via a sandbar connection to the mainland, offering a sense of seclusion, despite its proximity to the bustle of city life.

Important Considerations:

  • Access: Primarily reached by boat, though summer low tides can connect the park to the mainland.
  • Wildlife: Visitors can expect to see an abundance of wildlife such as Great Blue Herons, Bald and Golden Eagles, deer, otters, and more.
  • Geography: The island features wooded shorelines and expansive meadows. Be cautious of crumbling sand cliffs and dense patches of thorny blackberry bushes.
  • Navigation Challenges: Boaters should be aware of numerous sandbars especially on the east and north sides of the island.
  • Historical Interest: The island has a rich history and was once claimed by a family for over a century before it became government property.

Reed Island State Park is an appealing site for those interested in a blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue, making it a perfect escape for campers looking to disconnect.

During low water in the summer, the island is connected to the mainland! Go all the way to the end of the Dike Trail in the wildlife refuge and scramble down and across the huge sandbar to the island. Even though I-84 and Corbett is just across the river, you do feel a sense of seclusion. Most of the island has a wooded shoreline with a huge meadow taking up most of the interior. Be super careful of the crumbling sand cliffs and lots of thorny blackberry bushes. Have fun!

Absolutely horrible! Do not go here! Unless you want be completely secluded, be forced to witness the abundant wildlife (Great Blue Herons, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, deer, otter, etc.), eat blackberries as you walk along the beach, and see more stars in the sky than you ever thought possible this close to civilization!

This place is a Bermuda Triangle of sandbars! Stay well away from this island and boat in the marked navigation channel! Lots of sand bars on the east end and north side! Pack a lunch! If you get stuck, you'll be waiting till the tide come back in!

I camp there every summer only way to my spot is by boat. I just learned you can visit the actual gov. Part. This place has amazing history. I find it so interesting that a family lived there for over 100 yrs claimed it as many Americans claimed land many moons ago to one day to have the government take it from them just because our government feels they can do whatever they want. They even have a book on the red family
