Black Jack Campground, perfect for Catalina Island camping, is nestled among pine and eucalyptus trees near 2,097-foot Mt. Orizaba, Santa Catalina Island’s highest peak. At 1,600 feet above sea level, the facility provides eleven campsites with sweeping views of rolling terrain to the ocean. Situated several miles from both Avalon and Two Harbors, Black Jack Campground offers tranquility in the island’s interior.
Rated “One of the Best Campgrounds in the West” by Sunset Magazine, Little Harbor Campground offers a perfect blend of Catalina Island camping and beachfront fun. Located about seven miles east of Two Harbors and 16 miles from Avalon, Little Harbor is a sandy, beachfront campground with lots of opportunities for recreation.
Parsons Landing Campground, a gem for Catalina Island camping enthusiasts, is a secluded beach camping site located seven miles west of the village of Two Harbors. The eight primitive campsites accommodate up to eight people each and are accessible only via a moderately difficult hike or kayak trip. Shade structures and running water are not provided; you must pack in your supplies. Keys for firewood, 2.5 gallons of water and firestarter are available at the Visitors Services office at Two Harbors for $20.
