New Campground Opens on Santa Cruz Island
Channel Islands National Park has opened a new back-country campground on Santa Cruz Island, 25 miles off the coast.
The Del Norte campground is at the end of a moderately difficult 3 1/2-mile hike through a series of canyons and over ridges, to a vista about 1,500 feet above sea level.
The campground has four sites, each equipped with a picnic table and access to a nearby pit toilet. Water is not available--it must be packed in--and no fires are permitted.
For information on camping and hiking, call the park’s visitor center at 658-5730. Camping reservations are available by calling (800) 365-CAMP or on the Web at https://https://reservations.nps.gov.
