Only accessible by boat

We love camping on the island, as you can only get to it via boat so it is not overly populated. There are no fire pits but you can burn. No potable water, so bring your own. There is 1 restroom and no desinated camp sites. But we love it!

Accessible by boat only

Fishing, boating, campfires.

There aren't any hookups for electricity or running water, but really, it's a nice place to take a break from boating all day, maybe spending the night then getting back to the mainland. Put up a tent wherever you like and enjoy people watching on the river!
