Enjoy the awesome vistas of the Catalina island from your camp

Off the coast of California, lies the Santa Catalina island. The island is about 22 miles long and 8 miles wide. It is basically used as a tourist hotspot. People go down to the island to enjoy a weekend of camping and outdoors. The camping here is pretty laid back with well stocked and maintained amenities.
This is basically a small town island with only a population of around 4000 roughly. The island offers various outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and snorkeling. People normally take their kayaks and kayak off the island in the fabulous coastal waters.

About camping on the island:
The park rangers around here do an awesome job of stocking campgrounds. Most of the restrooms are well stocked with soap, T.P.. They are equipped with coin operated hot showers and even soaps. This indeed is a camping resort. Otherwise who would expect all these in the wilderness area.
The rangers also sale the basic camping stuff like propane, ice and compressed wood. Only thing you would have to do is cooperate with the rangers so that everyone enjoys the camping trip. Don’t be the person out there blasting off your cool speakers and disturbing others.

Camping rules:
Some basic laws do apply to the island camping as well. Music should not be cranked up after 10 PM. Quiet hours on the island campgrounds are between 10 PM to 8 in the morning.
There is a curfew for minors and alcoholic beverages are only allowed to people who are 21 and above only. Underage drinking law is strictly enforced on the island by the rangers. I think these are just standard rules and if you are a happy camper, you shouldn’t have trouble with the law.
Getting to Catalina:
There are plenty of ferry services to the island. Do keep in mind harbor charges and ticket charges apply to visitors. It costs about $60 USD to use the ferry. Also, another option is to take your own boat to the island and boat camp.
The island has some awesome vistas all around. Unique trees and trails attract tourists to Catalina. If you are thinking about an unique getaway, try Catalina. Make sure you grab your sunscreen on the way out.
