Very special location. Campsite was well maintained and very convenient with picnic tables and large lockers that fit several backpacks. Rangers were friendly and helpful.

Fantastic campsite, two water spigots for convenient access and large fox boxes for food storage - we ended up storing our packs too. Great access to all of the east Santa Cruz trails, Smugglers Cove is a must-hike. Stayed one night each at 11 and 14 , wonderfully secluded sites.

Staff were super friendly, would suggest booking early for the snorkel or kayak sessions

We had a great 2 nights in Santa Cruz wish we stayed 3 nights to get in more hiking. The wind really picked up one night, but the trees helped as wind break. Our site, 11, was great only 1 close neighbor. Island foxes everywhere, even in our tent once! The trek to the campground isnt too bad, but with little kids it felt like a long schlep. Wagon wouldve really helped. What else? The rangers are awesome. Lots of ranger programs for the family.

Campsites are great. Shade is nice, water works, pit toilets are nice-ish for pit toilets. In the middle of everything, and just an incredible place. Campground was noticeably less windy than the surrounding area.
Just take down those massive eucalyptus trees and let's get something native that's good for the island ecology!

Did the hike across from del Norte to scorpion after camping. Beautiful and rugged. Do a kayak tour with Jared!

Scorpion Campground was incredible. We had site 11 which had lovely dappled sunlight and views in two directions. We loved spending 4 nights there and really experiencing Santa Cruz Island. The weather was amazing. The first night got incredibly windy but it wasn't cold. The foxes were always around as well as the Ravens eyeing our food. Best to put everything away. We think a fox chewed up a t-shirt. We did a kayak tour of the caves which was phenomenal, hiked to Smugglers Beach which was magical, and loved our walks up to Cavern Point. The campground was a great place for frisbee golf. We also brought our stand up paddle board for fun in the cove. Loved every minute of it!!!!
