Reynolds Shelter is a Forest Service camping site in the North Umpqua Ranger District of Oregon's Umpqua National Forest, on the northwest corner of the Boulder Creek Wilderness Area. The nearest town is Toketee Falls, about 9 miles away. The shelter was rebuilt in 2022 after it burned down due to human error. It sits on the south side of the road. There are no garbage services at this site, so visitors must pack out their trash. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 79°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the upper 30s and regular snow days. Fuller Lake is about 0.7 miles away, and Grassy Ranch campground is about 0.9 miles away. Bear Camp Shelter is about 1.7 miles off, and the Boulder Creek hike is about 2 miles away.
