Wonderful, well-maintained campsite with a variety of trailheads accessible from camp.

Loved our trip out here to Santa Rosa, but it wasn't an easy one. Lots of preparations. Very windy! Hiking was the best and the beach was not - based on the wind factor. Going to the beach required eye protection and skin protection as the sand felt like small glass shards. I wore a wrap which helped me, but hubby and kiddos suffered. Snorkel gear was recommended which we bought, but didn't use. Go for the isolated island experience, little island foxes, ravens, remoteness, family games and terrific hiking. Bring: lantern, food, that is easy to pack and prepare, light camping gear (smallest stove possible if you can manage) and fit it all in a large plastic box so the foxes can't get into it. Cart it in on a wagon (one wagon per 2 people as the hike in on sandy and rocky and sometimes steep terrain is 1.5 miles). Clothes (it was hot in August, but windy and cool at night + the boat ride out was cool so I recommend at least one pair of long pants, windbreaker, and l/s shirt along other clothes), sturdy shoes, and extras into backpacks. Water is available - we overpacked water. One last thing - the boat sometimes leaves early and no-one told us that. So be prepared for that possibility as well!

Use the boulders stacked beside each windbreak for extra wind protection for your tent.

Had a great time! Lots of sandy beaches to walk on, foxes to admire, Lobo Canyon and East Point to brag about and a great boat ride both ways!

The island was amazing! We were blessed to have beautiful weather. Park ranger was welcoming and helpful.
