Camping

This park has four primitive Cascade Marine Trail campsites available first-come, first-served.  Their use is restricted to those arriving by human- or wind-powered watercraft.

There is one composting toilet on the island. Two campsites are situated at the top of the island. Each site has a 360-degree vista of Shaw and Orcas islands and the narrow channel between them. You may catch a glimpse of Mount Baker on clear days.

If you arrive by a motorized vessel, you're not allowed to camp at this park but may enjoy the island for day use. Be prepared to bring everything you'll need for a fun and comfortable visit. 

Boating

There are four moorage buoys available all year. Moorage fees are charged year-round for mooring at docks, floats and buoys from 1 p.m. to 8 a.m.
