Free shoreline camping in Southeast Alaska with a covered picnic shelter and raised platforms is rare. Summer's the move for mild temps and long daylight, and the strait-side wildlife viewing alone justifies hauling gear out to Wrangell Island.
No potable water on-site means you're packing every drop in. Add the year-round rain, no hookups, and first-come-first-served access on only three sites, and spontaneous or comfort-dependent campers will find this setup frustrating.
