It's rare to be able to see neon signs AND the milky way at the same time. The hosts are caring and accommodating of your lifestyle, and the island is big enough that there is plenty of space to spread out.\r\n\r\nCouple things to be aware of though. First, most of the driving is on river rocks and dirt -- I would not personally want to do it in a vehicle without high clearance. Second, there are unhoused Roseburgians just off the island especially near the bridges. I didn't actually see any but I heard them, and saw bundles of clothes and possibly a tent. And third, you're on an island with basically no help and whoever else booked that night. The night we were there, there was only one other group -- but they were EXTREMELY drunk and shooting off large mortars uncomfortably close to us.\r\n\r\nFor all these reasons, I think this site would be exceptional for a group camping situation but maybe not the greatest for a solo woman. But still, amazing campsite!!!" }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Heather B." }, "datePublished": "July 12, 2021", "reviewBody": "Bernie is amazing, super accommodating and helpful. The property is beautiful and has potential to be in even more amazing. Lots of room and quick access to I5. Would recommend installing a gate to prevent random locals from camping after Bernie has retired from the evening. Rarely have I had such a pleasant host though. The grounds are truly amazing and the hard work Bernie and Venus have put into the property is evident.

There were over a dozen sites of all sizes and types, clearly marked and adorned with brand new picnic tables. Some sites are raw land big enough for vans or trucks with trailers, others have small cleared tent sites. From our campsite by the river, we saw a mother deer and two fawns, and were greeted in the morning by Osprey and Stellar Jay’s fishing along the water. \r\n\r\nWe met Bernie who was out and about doing work to build a toddler friendly swimming site. He told us about the history of the island and his journey to reclaim it to offer it to the public.. I can’t wait to come back (bring tubes/rafts!) and see it as it continues to grow and improve.\r\n\r\n I read in another review that the entrance was under a sketchy bridge, don’t let that deter you! While a higher clearance vehicle would be ideal, there’s a natural cobblestone road marked with signage that lead to the meadow and sites so sedan drivers can make it up the hill. \r\n\r\nElk Island was a great place to enjoy nature and extend our camping trip, while being immediately adjacent to stores, restaurants, and the highway when we were ready to get back on the road. I would definitely recommend it to adventurers and hearty family campers looking for a unique place to take a break.
