What Guests Are Saying
Bartoo Island Boat-in Campground offers a fantastic camping experience with beautiful beaches, clear water, and plenty of space for activities. While some campers noted issues with tent placement due to slanted grounds and high bee activity during meals, overall cleanliness and ample recreational opportunities make it a favorite destination for many families. A suggestion for improvement includes adding more vault toilets.

This site is horrible. There is no place to park your boat as the beach is really rocky. Both sites on the side are great but this was aweful.
