Great Island Cabins were great! However, the website for recreation.gov leaves a lot of room for improvement. The creator of that website should try and make reservations at the cabins and should try to purchase the new necessary $25.00 off road vehicle pass.

It’s very disheartening to see the cabins in such a state of disrepair. We’ve been coming here for 15 years and since the Park service took over managing the cabin they have really let them just go I understand there was a hurricane last year but the repairs they made were inexcusable. Checking in with the park rangers upon arriving to the island was a less than desirable experience. They really made us feel unwelcome and it left us with the feeling that the Park service doesn’t really want people visiting the island anymore. I understand it’s the national seashore which we want to maintain so the generations from now can enjoy it but why doesn’t the Park service offer little ranger talks to explain some of the safety measures that they’re taking to preserve the wildlife and preserve the integrity of the island. For the price we paid we could buy ourselves a camper and stay on the beach for free with every amenity we could want. It’s hard to believe the amount of money that the cabins bring in each month that there isn’t more effort into updating and renovating the cabins to make them more desirable

Great place to relax, reflect, and fish! Miles of beautiful beach, wildlife, and a very cool lighthouse. You probably won't like it, stay home.

We took our toddler here as her first trip to the beach, and we had a wonderful time! The shells, sand, and a kite kept her busy for hours. There's a great swimming area down by the dock at the lighthouse. She could actually spend time in the water here, as the ocean was a little rough. The accomodations were as suspected. We did just fine without a generator, and just brought along a cooler, a fan, and a lantern for 3 days/2 nights. A beautiful time!

The island is quite , but the cabins are beyond need of renovations . The bathroom is dirty and smells like urine. The fly’s are so bad that you can’t kill them fast enough as more keep coming . The volunteers are very polite and helpful, but if you forget anything before you get to the island, your out of luck until the ferry’s run again .
The cabin is basically a shack and your lucky to have a roof . We had a 4 night stay and could only do it for 2 nights .
I would do a day trip if anything because the island is nice , but the cabins I would be cautious.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
