Wilderness camping

Wilderness camping is allowed; no facilities are provided. All sites are on a first-come, first-served basis.

Winter camping
There are winter camping opportunities in this conservancy, as it can be accessed year-round.
Campfires
Firewood is not provided. If you must have a fire, please burn only dead and down wood, and be sure to fully extinguish the fire when done. Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil so please use it conservatively, if at all. We encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of campfires and using camp stoves instead. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented during extremely hot weather conditions.
Swimming
Swimming is possible in the ocean, but the water is cold all year-round. There are no lifeguards on duty in the conservancy.
Canoeing

Adventurous and experienced kayakers may enjoy exploring the shorelines in this conservancy.
