Just an incredible place to visit. No hotels no restaurants. No noise. Just the ocean. Cant wait to go back. Cabins were what we expected. Just a place to sleep and get out of the elements. Rangers and volunteers were great. Ferry service folks were great too. Going to book for next year!!

The cabins are very simple but that's not a bad thing. I can't describe how beautiful and quite the beach is. The fishing is awesome and the history on the island is neat as well. My brothers and I had an amazing trip. We all agreed that we will definitely be back. The only complaint is the flies they are relentless however they eventually mosey on. I truly hope people don't ruin this awesome national park. The generator plug is a 20amp 120v plug for those who are wondering, and they do sell regular gas and OFF ROAD diesel (red diesel) that's important to know.

The office staff was excellent in helping resolve a driving permit issue. Tonya in the office is a resource the Park Service should value. Supervenient Jeff West has changed the culture of this park. The staff is now friendly and very helpful. That has not always been the cast. I have been going to the park annually for 40 plus years. The is the best staff ever.

The water heater stopped working one night and the Park Maintenance people fixed it promptly the next morning, very satisfied with the quick response!

This place is amazing. The cabins allow you to experience this remote beach in comfort. A definite must do!

This was my second trip and the guys with me, their first. The cabin was clean and everything worked like it should. We were all very comfortable, except for those folding chairs provided in the cabin. Those things must be derived from the Iron Maiden torture device! The trip was a great time and we all agreed to make it an annual or semi-annual trip.

Comfortable

This was a great place to go and unplug from the daily hustle and bustle. The cabins are definitely "rustic" but exactly what we were expecting.

Beautiful place. We enjoyed our stay. Cabins are looking rough but for fishermen it is ok. For women and family some improvements are needed. Blinds would be nice in the bathroom. A back porch light would be nice. Thanks for allowing this place to remain open to the public.

This place is so beautiful! I love it! The wind and the waves and the stars are gorgeous! The volunteers and rangers are helpful, kind, and reliable. Our stay was lovely and we will return again and again!

Beautiful beaches. Peaceful and quiet!

Good time had by all. Weather was nice one day and not so good the next day but still had a good day. Only thing I didn’t know about was that you could not have an open beer in the side by side we were sitting in (not driving) at the tune of $150 ticket.
