White’s Landing is truly a unique experience. You can expect a short journey by boat from Avalon to White’s Landing. The cost is reasonable and allows for up to six people. When you arrive at the camp, you will see a beautiful beach cradled by a mountainside. It’s amazing! There is a small pier and the wildlife is spectacular! During our stay there were leopard sharks everywhere. Wild bison would walk right up into our camp and onto the beach. We kept our distance, of course. There were blue heron in the sky and tiny little foxes that would come out at night. Make sure to hide your food properly or use the storage in the shared refrigerator located in the camp store. We had some burger stolen by the foxes...our fault for leaving them out.
Overall, it was definitely one of our best family trips and I would love to go back. Make sure to pack properly, as I tended to pack a little light and did not bring enough food. The store does sell some light snacks and I believe there were even some frozen burritos, but a family sized ice chest worked well for us. I was concerned about the weight capacity in the Catalina express, but this was never checked, so I could have brought more.
I would suggest bringing a couple chairs and umbrella, as it does get hot out on the beach. The camp provides a light breakfast in the morning, which was very kind of them to do.
Dottie was awesome and made sure our stay was something to remember. Tortuga took us on a guided snorkeling tour and she was so kind and made my girls feel safe in the deep water. Maverick was a great captain and brought us back to Avalon safely.
Loved every minute of the trip! The camp took extra caution to avoid Covid and had sanitizer everywhere. We had to wear masks when in the store and during breakfast.
Unique stay, rustic, and something you’ll definitely remember!
