The Setting
This sandy park is separated from the mainland by shallow bays. Traces of the past can be found at the Civil War trenches, an abandoned Air Force base, an 1852 vintage lighthouse, and the now submerged Fort Esperanza.
The Facility
Facilities include primitive camping on the Beach Campground, which is serviced by the island shuttle; the Army Hole Campground, on the bay a few yards from the boat dock, has shaded picnic tables, fire rings, pit toilets, and an outdoor, cold-water shower.
