Fire Island National Seashore operates this walk-in campground where campers hike one to three miles to reach secluded sites on the western end of the barrier island. The National Park Service manages the facility with a $25 nightly fee and requires reservations between March 15 and Labor Day. Cell service reaches the camping area.
Campfires and dogs are prohibited to protect the island's ecosystem. Sites sit near the water with minimal development beyond basic camping infrastructure. The hike-in access keeps visitor numbers low, and Smith's Point provides an alternative just 0.2 miles northeast for those preferring easier access.
