Do the 5 designated campsites on Long Island fill up?
A. Long Island is not heavily used by recreational boaters, but certain holiday weekends are predictably busy: Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day. There is strict enforcement of camping only in designated sites, and no camp reservation system, so it may be necessary to paddle further to another site if a camp is full. Pinnacle Rock camp near on the southwest corner of the Island is the most popular, and most likely to be full, since it is the nearest to the boat ramp adjacent to the Refuge Headquarters. One mile to the north on the west side is Smoky Hollow camp, offering good tent capacity and a relatively short hike to the popular old growth cedar forest. Another mile north is the Sandspit camp, having space for about 8 tents, and offering the least amount of mosquitoes due to the absence of nearby marshes.
