Weekend Trip to Bakers Island Light Campsite
Absolutely fantastic location and everyone involved made the stay a delight. We opted to take the boat to the island -- which thrilled my 8-year-old to no end. Then, once we arrived, the lighthouse keeper couldn't have been friendlier or made things easier during our stay at this unforgettable location with everything from amazing views to multiple lighthouse tours. Great from start to finish and we can't wait to go back.

Weekend Trip to Bakers Island Light Campsite
We had an excellent trip and I would highly recommend it! We paddled out in our kayaks and were greeted on the beach once we arrived and shown where to store our kayaks. The light housekeeper was super helpful and showed us around and answered all of our questions. It was incredible to see the lighthouse, and the views from the spot are amazing. The beach was pretty rocky, but it was perfect for a quick dip. Also, they are not joking when they say there is little to no shade on the island, so don't forget a good sun hat and lots of sunscreen.

Weekend Trip to Bakers Island Light Campsite
We had a great weekend camping on Bakers Island. Just the boat ride there was great fun, particularly navigating the landing craft ramp to get to the rocky beach. Dave the caretaker was there to greet us and help load our equipment up the steep slope to the campsites. He was also always available to answer any questions. Beautiful views around the island. We also lucked out with two night's running of seeing the moon rise over the Atlantic.

Weekend Trip to Bakers Island Light Campsite
We stayed two nights. The keeper David was very accommodating and gave us a tour up the lighthouse! We lucked out that it was a full moon and got to see the sunset and moonrise on the island. Great little trails and beach areas to explore. We spent most of our time relaxing, watching boats go by. The ride to and from the island in the landing boat was quite an experience. Our kids loved it!

2 nights at Bakers Island Light Campsite
Baker's Island's campsites are not for everybody, but they were fine for me. Be clear about transportation to-and-from the Island. Experienced kayaker's will have one experience, those who travel on the islands ferry will pay more, and be restricted by the available timing. The site itself is historic, if a bit primitive. You are right alongside the ocean and will sleep with the sound of channel buoys "bonging" in the distance, and the screech of wheeling sea gulls! While a bit "rough around the edges" I really enjoyed the salt air, solitude, and grace of this special and historic spot!

Weekend Trip to Bakers Island Light Campsite
Beautiful campground with sunrise and sunset both easily accessible and visible. Easy access (once on the island), though somewhat limited activities - fishing, swimming on rocky beach, bbq and some nice trails. No campfires and no sandy beach. Overall great time and would def return.
