About Us

Formerly known as the Bullocks Islands of Lay Lake, the Friendly Islands consist of the BFI and the LFI. These private islands lie along the main river channel of Lay Lake just east of Wilsonville and approximately a 10-15 boat ride north of Beeswax Marina. Smiths Camp is the closest boat drop site. Please view the map below.


Currently, we are only offering primitive off-grid campsites on the BFI,  the Big Friendly Island, accessible by boat.

Explore & Relax

Your Destination

The Lay Lake Island life at the BFI is about off-grid exploration and relaxation among the nature and wildlife of Lay Lake. 


This island retreat offers primitive camping sites along with sunset views! Enjoy sunbathing on the dock, fishing from the shore, or hiking to explore for wildlife. We also recommend setting up a hammock for an afternoon nap.

Wild animals are a fact of camping life. Never feed, harass, or approach them. If you’re hoping to come home with great photos of local wildlife, plan to use a telephoto lens. 


The island is inhabited by deer, bunnies, frogs, turtles, raccoons, geese, and a variety of birds.
