Hermit Island Campground

Only there for an event and walk on the beach. Still wild and gorgeous campsite 40+ years later! I may be motivated to try camping out again. Be advised- follow the rules to gain entry into the island, tides do flood the road.

Majestic sunsets, beautiful beaches, and a family oriented atmosphere make this campground a little slice of paradise. The team at Hermit Island works hard to maintain a friendly, inviting, and wholesome camping experience. Highly recommend!!!

I don't even know where to start; this was our first time staying at a private campground and we loved everything about it! Booking a site here means either calling or mailing a letter so a little more effort than your typical online booking process, but kinda charming. The sites are beautiful and clean, and are well spaced/private. The views at the sites around the exterior of the "island" are incredible and listening to the waves is a great way to fall asleep. Head Beach is easily accessible and is also a nice clean spot to walk around. The camp store sells everything you would generally need (including fresh lobsters) and everyone we spoke to was very friendly! Snack bar was closed during our stay since it is still early in the season. The toilets and shower were clean and the showers are free. Cell service is unreliable at the campground so it's a great place to unplug. Overall one of our favorite camping experiences and locations so far - looking forward to visiting again!

One of the best camping experiences. Camping with multiple beaches, picturesque views. There’s a really cool pavilion area with 10-12 picnic tables with a roof top and fire pit in the middle, amazing view and a path to a small beach area. We made breakfast there one morning. Your able to buy lobsters right on site and they cook them for you if needed as well as steamers.

Very amazing location. Wonderful views and nice campsite separation (except for a few open areas if you want to be together as a group). Lots of beach area to walk.

Tent camping Fri., Sat, and Sun. nights in early June 2021 with two tweens at Cross Island 4 site. The view was excellent and most sites are clean, large, and well spaced. The campground was quiet and not crowded, but we visited early in the season. Plenty of vault toilets. Free, warm showers and flush toilets within walking distance from most sites and are relatively clean. Roads are narrow, very bumpy, curvy, some are steep, and not well marked. I would NOT recommend bicycling here, especially for children as difficult to see ahead. Water available but not always easy to get large containers back to site. Our picnic table was gross with both the table and seats covered with oily spots, but other sites may be better.
