Anacapa Island in CA -- Campground & RV Camping

Anacapa Island Campground is a primitive seven-site facility perched on the coastal bluffs of East Anacapa Island. Reached by climbing a 154-step staircase and hiking a half-mile from the Landing Cove dock, the campground offers sites equipped with picnic tables and food storage boxes, as well as shared pit toilets. There is no fresh water on the island, so all water and supplies must be packed in. The site sits near a two-mile trail network that loops across the islet to scenic overlooks, volcanic sea cliffs, and the historic 1932 Anacapa Light Station.

Getting there: Boat transportation can be arranged with Island Packers from Ventura or Channel Islands (Oxnard) Harbors. To park headquarters in Ventura, California: Highway 101, exit Victoria or Seaward to Ventura Harbor.

• Well separated here, a 7-site campground with no through road within 3.7 miles.
• The coast lies 0.1 mi off.
• Mostly tent-only sites, with 9 hike-in sites and 9 on the water.
