We camped there doing a guided kayak 3 days trip from Friday Harbor in June of 2022. Weather had been iffy the prior few days but we end up being lucky and had close to perfect weather for our short trip. We camped on the north east side of the island, next the marina, to be protected from the heavy wind that was coming from the west that weekend.

I've camped on Jones many times and particularly love the Cascade Marine Trails sites. Good launch/landing beach for kayaks and easy hikes up a short bluff. The view from those sites is to the west so you get the sunsets and they're private and away from the motor boat crowd. The composting toilet gives you a cardio workout as it's a significant uphill climb. There are great, long hiking trails around the island. Water is available during the summer and turned off after Sept. 15. Used to be lots of raccoons, but during this visit I didn't encounter any.
