Our group had a wonderful one night stay at this amazing campground. Surrounded by nature, this was exactly what we were looking for for the Memorial Day weekend.
After arriving at Avalon, we hopped on this little boat at Gate 5 which took us to the campground. It was about a 20 min ride with beautiful views. The island is really a mini Hawaii! It’s private and well maintained. The check in process was quick and we were soon led to our tents by Megan, who was super helpful throughout the stay. We had fun kayaking and the hosts provide gears for other water activities as well. There’s provision for meals, but you will have to let the hosts know ahead of time. We were able to hike around the campground. Towards the evening we got arrangements for a bonfire from the host. We were treated with a pleasant complementary breakfast the next morning (yes, there was coffee too). There was a surprise visit from “Joe bison” for a short bit. Soon afterwards We got transportation via water back to Avalon at 11am. Overall, we enjoyed so much, and will go back again.
The only things that we would request for next time- better communication before the trip. We didn’t know until the last moment, when we were going to reach the camp ground. The timings on the Mountainandsea website are completely off. We were told that we would either get a shuttle at 12noon or 3-4 hours later. Since we were spending a short time, it made us anxious and we weren’t able to plan much till the last minute. We would really appreciate better communication the next time as we plan to go back soon.
Thank you for helping us have a great weekend!
