We love staying on Santa Cruz island. You have to carry your gear a bit from the ferry but it's beautiful. The campgrounds have clean restrooms and plenty of fresh water so its perfect for families. The group sites are quite large and more secluded in the upper level. at the campgrounds there is a bear box at each site, make sure to utilize this for all food and anything that has a scent because the fox will eat through your tent and bags to get to the food. also keep anything shiny out of sight for the crows.
