Great Island Cabin Camp

Our cabin was wonderful even though the weather was cold for a few days. Exploring the island is also a neat thing to do. Loved it and will be back in September.

Amazing seems to be the common description of this place and rightly so. It truly is an amazing and special place. We stayed the last few days of March and first days of April. The weather was glorious and the beaches were ridiculously deserted. We have never surf fished but got a crash course from a great guy named David who owns the Davis Shore Bed and Breakfast. We stayed there one night and it is a great place to stay.

We caught a lot of fish and searched tide pools at low tide and found a ton of shells and sea creatures.

We stayed in cabin 23 and it was great although it was in need of minor repairs. The towel rack fell off and the sink drain became disconnected. I was able to fix both. The cabins allow for electrical hookup which we didn't have and didn't miss. However, our weather was in the 60's and 70's. I am guessing that with no trees to shade any of the cabins, they will be murderously hot in the summer so a generator and portable air conditioner would be great.

We were given a key with the disclaimer that it may not work. It didn't but no worries we kept our valuables in our car. The rangers and volunteers and Ferry service were all very nice and helpful.

Pro fishing tip for those who haven't surf fished. Lookup "drop rig" and rig your pole that way. You can buy a surf rod, sand spike and enough tackle and bait to fish for about $60. It is a ton of fun and well worth it. 30 lb test mono works well.

Great week of fishing!

Great week of fishing!

This reservation was supposed to be moved out by a few weeks. I called on the phone. The representative I spoke with failed to move it AND I was charged for this trip. So unhappy with the service. I missed the chance to go on this island and was charged.

The island is beautiful - the people staffing the park site were helpful and the weather could not have been better. However, the cabins are a bit on the rough side - understandably, because of the weather conditions they have to endure all through the year. But the bathroom reeked of urine - again, understandable because the floors are wood, they get wet for one reason or another but that means the smell remains, no matter how clean they really are. We probably would camp in our own tent the next time we come because we can somewhat control the rustic factor but we would definitely return. Don't NOT come to this place because of the cabins - come because it is simply one of the most relaxing places we have ever been to - and it is very much worth it! The shell beds are amazing, the water is delightful, the beaches go on forever and the sense of peace is exactly what is needed in this crazy world. We took a buggy down to the lighthouse and we were disappointed that we couldn't climb it because it is closed for repairs but it is a beautiful ride to it. This place truly is a haven of peace and sunshine. We will come back and stay longer next time!
