The campsite is praised for its scenic location and the enjoyment of campfire evenings. Visitors particularly enjoy the proximity to the small beach area, which enhances the camping experience.

  • Campfire availability for evening enjoyment.

We absolutely loved our night at Channel Marker campsite. We spent most of our time over on the little beach area and then enjoyed a campfire before bed. The mosquitos are NO joke but didn’t seem as bad at site as some of the trail areas. Only bad thing was the disgusting vault toilet out in the open at the back of the site area that someone had used and “missed” with a land mine going down the side and it had not been cleaned. The half mile walk back to the visitor center was quick and worth it for the clean facilities. Next time we will for sure bring bikes to access more of the island. We also picked up quite a bit of trash around the island that people had just left. Drink bottles, cans and empty bug spray bottles. So sad that people think it’s OK to just leave their trash like that.
