About the Campground
Twelve miles from the California mainland, a 5-mile-long spine of rock emerges from the ocean, breaks into three islets, and offers itself as home to 265 species of plants and a bevy of seabirds - with the largest brown pelican rookery in the Unites States. The island features bird rookeries, Chumash middens, giant coreopsis, tidepools, kelp forests, sea caves, and arches. Altitude: sea level to 250 feet. For camping, fishing, kayaking, private boating information, contact Channel Islands National Park at 805-658-5730 or www.nps.gov/chis.
