Kayak camping is an incredible way to explore the wilderness and find solitude, a premium in Southern California. Catalina offers a number of secluded campsites that are only accessible by kayak. Whether spending a weekend or a whole week, kayak camping on Catalina Island is an exciting experience, giving you access to a secluded beach, world renowned snorkeling and diving, and views of the night sky that you simply can’t see on the mainland of Southern California.

From reservations and logistics to what to pack and meals to cook, Kayak Camp Catalina provides all of the information you need in order to plan your next outdoor adventure.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me via the “Contact Me” page. One more thing, kayak camping on Catalina is a serious endeavor. You are kayaking in the Pacific Ocean and will feel the full strength of it, particularly when heading north (against current) and around outcroppings on the island (bigger waves). You are also camping in a remote area with, for the most part, no amenities (grill, toilet, water access, etc.). It is highly recommended that you have experience kayaking in the ocean, are a relatively strong swimmer, and have experience camping in a remote area.
