Channel Islands National Park
Known as California’s Galapagos, the Channel Islands National Park includes five beautiful islands brimming with rare flora and fauna. Explorers can take day trips to all five islands, but for those who want the full experience there’s overnight camping. Advance reservations are required at all campgrounds, as well as a small nightly reservation fee. Most of the sites are located close to boat landing areas, but there is also some limited backcountry camping allowed on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa islands. Be aware that fires aren’t permitted, just enclosed gas camp stoves. For more information about getting to the islands, visit www.islandpackers.com.
