IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER AN ISLAND IS WAITING TO BE EXPLORED.
CAMPSITES
If you are a seasoned tent camper or prefer to just “open the door,” Sand Island Campground should be placed at the top of your bucket list.
Sand Island St. Helens Campground is located just 25 minutes from Portland, Oregon and Longview, Washington and on the Columbia Riverfront.
PETS POLICY
Pets in your control are welcome as long as you clean up after them and do not disrupt other guests. A dog that barks at strangers or just because…will be politely asked to go home. A peaceful experience is our goal for all guests.
FACILITIES
Bathrooms are on the island, showers are a 3 minute shuttle ride to the main land.
THINGS TO DISCOVER
Oregon campsites on Sand Island are now on every bucket list for outdoor enthusiasts. This 31.7 acre offshore overnight camping experience offers docks, nature trails, beaches, picnic tables, campsites, restrooms, kayak connections, water adventure rides and more. This brand new camping facility is fun for the entire family and sure to become a frequent camping destination.
The island offers spectacular views of Mt. St. Helens in Washington State and Mt. Hood in Oregon State plus stunning Columbia riverfront views.
