Walking distance to the beach!

This fun little campground has about 25 sites. Reservations can be made ahead of time, and there are 5 plots on a first come, first served basis in case the main sites are full. There's a main office building with free WiFi (though its range and strength are very small). The same building also has the the showers and toilet, and a water fill station.

Each campground has a fire pit and a picnic table, with parking space for vehicles or RVs, and ample space for two or maybe even 3 tents per plot/site.

You are walking distance to a beach, accessed by stairs. The approx 2.5 mile beach also has a boardwalk that continues to be extended parallel to the beach. There's also this great opportunity to rent canoes on the honor system with money through a mail box slot, so I took out a canoe and was able to paddle around this nice inlet. I was also lucky and managed to get really close to some loons fishing on the lake. You can also meet at this spot at various times during the day to get a boat tour on some canoes or kayaks.

I would recommend coming here with a bike so that you can explore the island. Near the ferry terminal you can check out the Burn Down Bar and they have a convenience store to stock up on the food and things you forgot.
