Reeder Beach Rv Park-Sauvies Island

We visited in November 2015. We had no reservation, because, we couldn’t get a hold of the office (they only take reservations by phone). We tried calling 3 days in a row (Monday-​Wednesday) and gave up, thinking they had gone out of business. When we got to Portland, we tried to get a spot at Jantzen Beach RV Park, but, got turned away, because, we have a vintage trailer. So, we decided to take a leap of faith and drive out to Sauvie Island. We got lucky! The owners happened to be in the office even though they were closed. It was a Thursday afternoon, but, they are ONLY OPEN Fridays-​Sundays; hence the reason we couldn’t get anyone on the phone for a reservation. It was a great water-​front spot, outside of the city, with clean bathrooms and fresh eggs. It only took us 20 minutes to get to our friend’s apartment in the St. John’s bridge district. Overall, we had a great experience, but, it would’ve been less stressful if we had a reservation.

Wonderful hideaway on the river. Had a most enjoyable stay. Wonderful, friendly staff. Clean and amazing views of river. Close to wonderful beaches and lots of fruit nearby.

This RV park carries the same charm as the island itself. Laid back, not hurried and downhome friendly. I stayed here last year and even extended the stay. The gal was so very accomodating. I love the local beach on the Columbia and this park is very convenient. The sites are full hookup and ok. They don’t pack you in there too tight. The sites could use a little TLC as they are a little rough. Small concession for location and hospitality.

My review is limited to the country store since I’ve never stayed at the RV Park. After dismal experiences at the Cove Island store, I sought out this place as a lunch option while visiting Walton Beach.
The score of the day were their deli sandwiches, priced at around $ 2.50. It was your basic roll with cheese and bread and little plastic condiments. Frankly, it made me feel like a kid again.
I wouldn’t seek this out for my everyday lunch, but for a cheap lunch on the beach with the kids, it fit the bill. Chips, sodas and all the other basic necessities were there, including frozen treats.
If you aren’t smart enough to pack a picnic, I’d recommend you stop in here for the missing pieces.

This RV Park has a little country store which is conveniently located to pick up a soda or a snack and happens to be run by two of the nicest ladies on the planet. There may not be much selection but they make up for it with country charm and smiles.
