Santa Cruz Del Norte is a remote backcountry campground on Santa Cruz Island within Channel Islands National Park, accessible only by boat and requiring a moderate-to-strenuous 3. 5-mile hike from Prisoners Harbor.

The site offers four primitive tent-only campsites with picnic tables and pit toilets, but no water, electricity, or services—campers must carry all gear, food, and water.

Kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, and wildlife viewing are available, though ocean conditions can be challenging and require expert paddling skills; advance reservations through Recreation.

gov are mandatory, and boat transportation must be arranged separately through Island Packers or private vessel.
