Little Dune II Campsite

Hiked to the site, stayed for 3 days and hiked back out. Super close to a bathroom that stays stocked, we brought our own just in case and thankfully we did cause the animals got into it one night and there was none in the morning when we needed some. A bonus the forest service provides firewood so no need to go looking. On nice days the beach gets busy so we had a lot of people come and go one day. Overall we had a great time. I plan on going back when my kids are older.

This site was a relatively easy hike in. The view amd access to the bay is great. Deer flies were bad but after we killed about 50 of them, they seemed to drop-off. The walk to the woodbox for firewood wasn't my favorite but at least wood is provided at a central spot. The tombolo is really neat and lends contrast to the sandy beach. The vault toilet wasn't bad for a vault toilet.

Beautiful campsite, right on Trout Bay. Access via boardwalks, as the tombolo (dune) area is protected and the forest service asks you to not walk/camp on it. Space for two tents. Max capacity 4 people. Privy (outhouse) was very clean and had toilet paper in it when we were there. We used the bear pole for our food, as the pin seemed broken on the bear box. Got water from the bay. Overall loved this campsite and would definitely go again!

It took us a total (round-trip) of 5 hours to hike to this campsite and then hike back to the boat. But it was well worth the hike! Beach was lovely. Outhouse was nearby. Be aware of your time, so you don't miss the last boat back to the mainland, if you are a day-hiker and not an overnight camper. If you are an overnight camper, reservations are required!

Winter camped in 1974 crossing over on Murray Bay. Strong winds and temperatures down to -30°, so campsite was back from the beach. Some of the group went ice climbing while others built an igloo.
