My partner and I scheduled a 4 night camping reservation at Sea Camp (site 6) from June 26-30, 2024 and brought our own bikes. We confirmed our reservation back in Jan/Feb of the same year. I've been to the island for a day-trip in the past but hadn't camped overnight until now. The visit was magical... very HOT... and featured daily thunderstorms! We appreciated that the mosquitoes weren't bad at all, but left thinking that we would like to come back in March or October to experience a more moderate range of temperatures. The trip up to Plum Orchard for the mansion tour was interesting but not really worth the 18 mile roundtrip bike ride. I'd recommend it only for those who are particularly fascinated with historical homes and furnishings. One of my highlights was getting a glimpse of two white deer! It felt like encountering unicorns! Also, we would recommend having a second tent or shade structure for the beach. In the future, I would set that up so I could enjoy longer visits by the ocean without sunburn. Early morning and early evening when the sun is low in the sky is such a nice time to walk along the surf. You will almost always find the island's wild horses on the beach at those hours.
