About
There is an outstanding small boat harbor which includes a paved launch ramp, large dinghy float, and several moorings. Space at the float and moorings is free on a first-come basis. Near the southern harbor entrance is a marina where slips can be rented. The dinghy float and moorings should be able to accommodate many, but possibly not all, of the Wayfarers. The other option is to anchor out. (The tidal range is on the order of 8 to 10 feet.) Other About Reservations at
Hermit Island will bill directly the individuals listed. They will send one bill after they complete the reservations. The bill will show a due date for the $125.00 deposit, and a due date for the remaining balance after deposit. You may send full payment at once, or send a deposit followed by the balance but they do not generally send another bill after they receive a deposit unless we are asked. So you may send full payment or break it down into two separate payments. After the site is paid in full we will send out a confirmation.
Any subsequent changes and adjustments will be handled on a direct basis (the organizers don't need to get involved in schedule changes). Note that these winter reservations for 7 days for Prime sites are special—so changes have their own rules. Click here for more detailed change/cancellation policy.
Photos of many of the requested campsites can be viewed here. Late registrants
should let the organizer know of
their interest, but will need to make their own
site reservations using the standard Hermit Island
process as described on their website.
The Main Campground Rules: One car per site, no pets. If more than one car is needed, there is off-site parking at the trailer park campground just outside the drive off the main highway leading to Hermit Island. Cost is $5/day. Consult the website for more information on campground policies.
