Make sure you reserve your camping location here at early morning as you can’t just go to islands to stay even for a day picnic. Locations are limited around 100 for all islands

I have been island camping in the Glen Island group for about 13 years.The rangers are always friendly and have a good sense of humor. They have told me what sholes to watch for and what island are closed.
