One of our favorite camp grounds. Go well equipped for mosquitoes and Noseaums. We usually go during the wintertime and it’s a lot better. When you come bring like 10-20 bucks to drop off in the tip box. That’s the least we can do at a free camp site. It helps with the maintenance of the campsite and cleanliness. Dale!

Docks are nice. But… do not stay at this place if you do not like bugs. no-see-ums are freaking insane even when the air temperature is in the 60s!!! Do not stay or pay any money for this bug infested shit hole! We paid $35 and left in 20 minutes when the bugs started coming out at 3:00 pm !! They WILL CARRY YOU AWAY! Totally insane.

Great expirience, great trails, enjoy it while it is cool. Perfect for a camping/boating-in-one adventure weekend. Explore the perimeter of the island for the best views and most interesting sights. The must sees are an old boat wreck and the jagged rocks by the beach. Great place to get lost.

Showers and restrooms very awesome to have available. Marina in great shape (boat slips a little narrow). Bring DEET there is plenty of mosquito activity or long sleeve shirt and pants. BBQ a must, grills on site.

Peaceful Island, clean bathroom & shower. You get cell phone reception (not sure if that's good), the rangers were very friendly and courteous. Ranger informed us of the moon flowers...beautiful. Bring a hammock, plenty of fluids, sun screen and bug spray. Relax, unwind and look at the stars.
