I want to give this place a 5 star review because I really did have the best trip but I have a feeling I got lucky. The island is truly beautiful and this isolated campsite is particularly breathtaking. But there are some very important things to note before booking!
This location is at a children’s outdoor science camp. There is usually 100-200 kids runnings around that you are sharing bathrooms, showers and other common spaces with. THIS IS MENTIONED NOWHERE IN THE DESCRIPTION!
Another thing to note is the transportation to the campsite. While they do send you instructions it is incredibly confusing so to make it simple -
Basically the only option to get to the remote campsite from Avalon is to pay them $160 round trip for them to pick you up. This price is on top of the ferry ticket you will have to buy to get to the island. Had I known I would have to pay more in my transportation to the campsite than I did for the actual accommodation itself, I might have reconsidered.
Also you should note that the camp store does not have as much as they say it is going to have! Definitely plan to bring enough food.
It is also very difficult to communicate with them since they are in such a remote location so make sure to get all your details sorted out ahead of time.
It truly was such a beautiful location and we had a lovely trip, the water was beautiful and the snorkeling and kayaking was amazing! Special shout-out to Cap and Tigerlily for making our trip extra special.
It is super unfortunate that this place isn’t what it is advertised as because I think they could capitalize on the summer camp vibe instead of trying to hide it.
PS watch out for Bison. <3
