Easy access to Avalon, hiking, and Wrigley Botanical Garden
Hermit Gulch is in a little mountainous valley among Catalina's chapparrel covered slopes.
Pros: the loacion is great, about a mile from Avalon and all of the snorkeling spots, and even closer to Wrigley Botanical Garden (which is a must-see while you're there). The campsite has showers, toilets, and shade (in spots). The sites are ok sized for tents. Wildlife comes through the campsite regularly.
Cons: the pricing is per person rather than per site. Wildlife comes through the campsite regularly (7am about 100 crows fly down the valley squaking and cawing).
Overall I would stay here again though.
