Nice location shaded, water and toilets close by your camping spot. Plenty room for your tent(s). Watch for island foxes! the will chase your food!

No showers, good enough pit toilets, no campers on wheels would have been so peaceful without the noise of the neighbors (not the parks fault) the sites are big enough.

One of the most beautiful camping spots we've experienced. Lots of space between sites, so it never felt cramped. Clean pit toilets that were serviced at least twice a day. Huge fox-proof cabinets to store your stuff, and a large picnic table for the group. We had a magical time and can't wait to come back.

Group site is a bit far. About 1 mile walk. But you can see sky and lots of open space there.

We had an absolutely lovely time. Our party stayed at a group campsite which had locking food storage and pit toilets that were clean and well stocked with toilet paper. It was about a mile hike from the ferry to our group campsite. We enjoyed the beautiful hiking around the island and some members of our party snorkeled and enjoyed it greatly. Excited to come back again soon!

We had a great group campsite. The neighboring campers were respectful of quiet hours. It was beautiful and thankfully had shade. The only downside was hauling the gear to the campsite. We will take less gear next time.

This place is awesome. Scorpion does have a water spout so you do not need to bring that much water. The say its a primitive campsite but the bathrooms have solar powered lights and hand sanitizer. The hikes are pretty easy and the views are gorgeous. No campfires allowed. We saw a mega pod of dolphins on the way home which was incredible!

great time. implements to the island are highly appreciated. trail outlines were very helpful. pier is nicely done. the Ranger was very helpful. recommend to campers to plan for additional time in case they are not picked up on schedule. great work with the foxes; we got to see plenty.

Repeat visit along with my Boy Scout Troop. A number of our participants were first time visitors and were duly impressed and vowed to return again on their own with their families and friends. Camped in the group sites at the top of the canyon. Always a great trip.
