Wonderful time setting on the beach it wasn't crowded

Beautiful quiet park. Mostly rv's but some campers. Hiking trails. Quiet beaches full of shells and birds. The whole island is a nice off the path quiet place. If the sites were full hook-up would be the only way to improve.

This is a wonderful seaside Park. You can do just about any outdoor recreation you can think of here. This place is very peaceful. I just wish they had more camping sites. It's very hard to get a spot due to its popularity.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can a wedding be hosted here?

Givens Wells | Nov 6, 2020
Todd Hansen | Nov 6, 2020

You would need to contact the state park directly for the correct answer, I think it could happen but also note they charge a daily use fee for everyone entering and they might give a group rate.

Is there internet service at the RV campground?

Debbie | Nov 7, 2019
Sandi Jordan | Nov 7, 2019

Electric and water are provided, beyond that the other "creature comforts" are not here. No sewer, no internet, no cable TV. We used our Verizon hot spot when we needed internet. But the stay here is well worth it. Spacious spots for any kind of stay. Beautiful beaches, great access to nearby small communities. Try not to miss it. We were there this month for 6 days.

How long would it take kayaking to get to the primitive camping sites, instead of doing the 2 mile hike? Is the hike cooler with wheels friendly?

Hector Vargas | Nov 7, 2018
Eric | Nov 7, 2018

You can access the site via kayak, or canoe, or boat. Boat ramp isn't too far. Can't say about the time it would take, as everyone is different with their stroke! You can take a cooler with wheels on the trail. I had a wagon loaded with a cooler, water, and fire wood. It weighed in at around 100lbs. I managed to get it there. Well worth it.

Can you camp on the beach

Christy's Simple Life | Nov 7, 2018
Blake Evans | Nov 7, 2018

If you pay to sleep in the campground they will pretty much let you do whatever as long as you respect the innocence of others and their family. You would have to set up camp in the designated area (which isn't the best location but it is by the restroom and shower). The showers are primitive. Be sure to bring no bats or insect repellant because the mosquitos are hostile. But you can definitely picnic on the beach all night as long as you respect the rules. I've been going for years and I love it more than new york.
