Close to port
There were foxes and squirrels galore here, so guard your food and trash! Close to the port where our ferry was leaving from. I believe most, if not all of the sites here have a shelter. You are told to camp in the shelter unless your group is too big to all fit, or other hikers ask to join at your site. The site we had probably would have been a little tricky to pitch a tent on the ground outside of the shelter. There are no fires allowed in the Rock Harbor campground. There are vault toilets right outside the campground and there are facilities with running water in the main harbor area close to the hotel. There is a small store and a hotel/restaurants a short walk from the campground for any last minute supplies you may need or a good hearty meal after a long hike across the island! Check open dates and times as they do close around labor day for the season!

Great starting point
A lot of people around. It has a small store for supplies and a small cafe if your hungry. Not far up the trail are shelters if the weather turns bad. They are first come first serve but can be shared.
Gorgeous, Established, and has Shelters
Stayed in a shelter (there are 9) - they are no additional cost. There was one open when we got in on a Saturday afternoon in late June.
It is the most established campground we stayed at. It had pottable water on tap. It had a ranger station and a small store.
