We had campsite 3 and while the metal fox box didn't latch perfectly, it was latched enough that it didn't come off except when humans pulled it. We were pretty worried about it since it closed loosely and wouldn't recommend this particular campsite because of it (though the ranger mentioned some of the other campsites had problem too), but if you do end up getting this campsite it was fine. We did get a lot of ants in the wooden fox box, so would recommend putting items in plastic/some sort of second covering.

This island is difficult to get to (and shouldn't be anyone's first Channel Island), but it is absolutely worth the trouble. The island is beautiful and remote. Be sure to camp extra food and water since the probability of high swells delaying the boat is higher out on the Outer Channel (this happened to us for a day). The Cuyler's Bay, Point Bennett, and Harris Point are the highlights. Expect high winds during most of the stay. We had a great Park Ranger but since they need to accompany you on all trails, that is pretty crucial.
