Beach Camping on Santa Rosa Island
Camping conditions are primitive. There are no stores or facilities to purchase supplies. To protect fragile resources, beach campers must remove all trash from the island. Bury human waste in individual catholes 6-8 inches deep in the moist, sandy, intertidal area and 200 feet from fresh water source. Toilet paper must be packed out. Weather is unpredictable with winter-like temperatures possible any time of the year. It is recommended that your tent be able to withstand 40 MPH winds. Ocean conditions may be turbulent and dangerous. To hail a ranger, use VHF Marine Channel 16 or call 805-658-5700. To protect vegitaion and wildlife, stay on trails and roads.
