If you plan to stay at a State or County Park or Campground you will are required to apply for a camping permit prior to your arrival. Park rangers will be checking it to ensure the permit is for the park and dates listed. Permit applications must be received at least 7 days before the event and no earlier than 1 year in advance. The maximum length of stay allowable under each permit at any one park is 5 consecutive nights. Another camping permit for the same park can be issued to any adult covered under a previous permit only after 30 days have elapsed.
Some parks also offer cabins for rent.

If you are planning a visit to the islands in January you may want to pack a light jacket for evening walks or if you go on a whale-watching cruise. You'll find the best surf conditions on the North side of the islands. We consider this an interactive newsletter.
