About this campground
The Popple Campground is the furthest from the dock (about 3.5 miles), so you are likely to have fewer people camping there. The campground is close to the beach on the northern tip of the island. Bring water filtration equipment since there is no source of purified drinking water. There are 7 individual sites
Reviews
This campsite offers a beautiful and rugged wilderness experience, making it ideal for those seeking a true backcountry camping adventure. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the spacious and clean facilities. The private beach area and proximity to hiking trails enhance the overall appeal. However, campers should be aware of the limited access to fresh drinking water and the potential for busyness during peak seasons.
