Rippers Cove Campground

Ripper's Cove is a primitive boat-in campsite on Catalina Island's leeward shore, located 8. 6 nautical miles from Avalon and just 4 miles from Two Harbors, featuring three separate campsites with a protective anchorage and excellent snorkeling reef.

The site offers the best sandy beach at Rippers 1 (though it floods at high tide), shade trees at Rippers 2, and proximity to the reef at Rippers 3, with a maximum capacity of 10, 4, and 8 people respectively.

No campfires are allowed, and campers must bring all water, portable toilets, and pack out all waste, with daily ranger patrols and no moorings available.
