Over used and not enough facilities. Too many day users in the campground.

As residents of SB for many years, we never realized how easy it was to camp on the Channel Islands. Be sure to follow all Island Packers gear guidelines and it will be a breeze! The Scorpion Campground is very clean and the water is safe to drink. I would recommend going on a weekday if you like it quieter. We stayed 3 nights and our last night was Friday and it was significantly louder. Many big groups and college kids roll in on the weekends so the noise tends to go right up to the “quiet hours”. During the week it was a lot of solo travelers and older folk and everyone was basically quiet by 8pm. Right now (April ‘23) the whole island is green and beautiful! The water is around 55° and you can rent snorkel gear with a wetsuit from the Kayak company for the entirety of your stay! All in all, the campground was excellent and will definitely be back sometime soon.

Santa Cruz Island was an amazing trip the park ranger Mirtha was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the entire island and which where the best hikes and difficultie ratings. A day hike doesn’t quite give you enough time to hike the island recommend an overnight stay. The foxes love your food make sure it’s in your hands at all times or in the locker because they’ll steal it off the picnic table right in front of you.
Wonderful campground and experience on the island!

The NPS has hit a Home Run with management of SC. All Facilities are very well kept. All Rangers are so helpful and friendly. Every campsite is perfect. Participated in the JR Ranger program and learned even more about the Island. Proud of my Badge so much fun earning it.
