Sand Island Marine Park Campground

Has potential

This place definitely has potential to be a great little getaway, that’s close to the metro area. It’s just not up to par yet in our opinion.

Pros: Friendly staff, great views, easy water access from most campsites, a handful of secluded campsites.

Cons: Loading and unloading gear (pack light, condense as much as possible) wait time… we waited over an hour on the dock in 90 degree heat to get to the island. The biggest con by far was the lack of cleanliness. We understand toilets are always an issue camping, but these were so bad we couldn’t even use them. We had to walk to the other side of the island to use the only toilets that were somewhat usable. Our campsite upon arrival had leftover empty liquor bottles, used toilet paper strung about in the bushes (clearly other people didn’t wanna use the bathrooms either) overall, they just need to step up the care of the campsites, and facilities.
