You can enjoy nights under the stars at primitive campsites near the beach and the inlet. With eleven campsites in total, there’s room for the whole family to come along. All your camping supplies must be carried to the campsite from the moment you step off the ferry, so traveling light is recommended. Water and showers are available during most of the year, except during the winter season from November to March. Before heading out with your camp gear, you’ll need to obtain a camping permit from the park office. You’ll also need to register your vehicle at the park office if you’re planning to leave your vehicle overnight. For more information about Bear Island campsites, visit the park's website.

Tip: Remember to bring a jet boil if you plan to cook. Campfires are not permitted. The campsites are leave no trace -- any trash must be taken with you when you leave, along with your tent and supplies. See campgrounds here.
