San Miguel Island Campground offers 9 primitive tent-only sites on the westernmost Channel Island, accessible only by boat or aircraft with advance reservations required.

The campground features basic amenities (picnic tables, windbreaks, food storage boxes, pit toilets) and requires campers to bring all water, food, and gear; a steep 1-mile hike from Cuyler Harbor boat landing is necessary.

Fishing is permitted outside three marine reserves with a valid California fishing license, while sea kayaking and other watersports are possible but challenging due to persistent strong winds and cold water (50-60°F), with ranger-guided hikes available to Point Bennett's pinniped rookery and other island features.
