Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Absolutely amazing experience. Spent three nights here with two dogs in a 4x4 van.
The island is NPS managed (https://www.nps.gov/calo/index.htm). 4x4 and a beach driving permit is required. Info at the link above). The ferry for my 20 ft van was $100 round trip. Miles of secluded beach. Park and camp pretty much anywhere along the shore, with a few reasonable and common sense rules in play.
Know and respect the tide. Air down your tires.
There is water and restroom facilities at the lighthouse. Ice, water, fuel, and trash bins can be found at the ranger station. The southern side of the island near the lighthouse has less fisherman activity if you're looking for even extra seclusion.
Spotty T-Mobile service, decent Verizon LTE signal.
