“I've gone to Emerald Bay multiple years with my sons and their boy scout troop. What a great experience! The staff, facilities and food ("Fruit Punch! Haven't had it? Haven't lived.") are great, but the best part was the focus on living the scout law and extra opportunities than just the merit badge classes. Our troop has loved the values game and the pirate program over the years. We have several "Brigands" and even a couple "Anchormen" now. Also "Ranger Sean!" He remembered our boys by name over several years. If he's not careful he will end up as chief scout executive. Four stars only for two reasons. Difficult to get to and the cost has been prohibitive for some of our scouts. We want all our boys, even the disadvantaged ones, to have these experiences. All our scouts want to keep going back and I understand why. Great job Camp Emerald Bay!”

“The trail attached to the campground is an amazing hike! Very beautiful views of the island. At the top, you can see both sides. Not for the beginners but not fully intermediate either. Heading out by 10am ish and you will get in the mountain shade for roughy 30-40% of the hike. Nice for the warm days. No boulders or benches to sit and rest if needed, will need to set on the ground or side of the hill. Adventure suggestion: Walk from town to the trail head or take the bus for about $2. Hike about a quarter of a mile past the 2mile marker and on the left there is a nice spot to sit, meditate an take in the sights. Then make your way to the top of the trail and there is no benches but a shaded stone wall to sit and eat some lunch. Take it all in, it’s beautiful up there. Then take the road to the left will lead you to another split, stay left. This will take you through the Garden to Sky hike and out of the gardens dropping you off at the bus stop.”

“Parsons Landing is a crazy pretty place to camp. There's pretty much nothing here - just fox boxes, clean pit toilets and fire pits. You can pay to have water and firewood delivered to your site which you should do. Previous campers have made wind shelters out of rocks at every campsite for your fire or to pitch your tent behind. If there's an earthquake you're probably gonna suffer a brain injury but what can you do?”

“This was the best Boy Scout camp my boys went to. The staff was amazing, which is not surprising - I think they have their pick of employees. If you're planning to spend the summer working at a Boy Scout Camp, why would you not choose to do it on Catalina Island? The weather was beautiful, the facilities were slightly better than the other camps, and the range of merit badges was great. This is obviously a good place to work on the water-related badges. The sailing badge, in particular, was a good one to do here. We were there on a pretty windy week, so the kids had a blast with the sailboats. The overnight "war canoe" trip to Parson's Beach was amazing, and the older scouts really enjoyed the Rugged "E" program. Highly recommended.”

“I work there and we work really hard to make the experience something the kids will remember and the programs have a staff that is just awesome! Whether it's Scouting or CEMI, it's a great and safe place for the kids to come and learn something about life, the ocean, and even themselves! :)”

“This Campground was a dream! The grounds have Porta-Potty bathrooms near each section and there is a grill over the fire pits for each camp site as well as a secure metal box to keep food locked and protected from animals. Bison cross through here as well as deer which is beautiful and amazing to see! The communication about what is available was the reason I put 4 stars instead of 5. I had never been to Catalina before much less to this campsite. Myself as well as to others from my party called the office to ask questions about the availability of renting equipment as well as renting a stove and getting firewood Etc we were told that we could rent different things on site. However, when we arrived and went to the trailer to talk with the ranger, he apologized profusely saying that the only thing we are able to get there is the bundles of firewood. He was so apologetic over the miscommunication that he gave us his personal stove and Propane for us to use. I would definitely Camp here again and just know I know what is available and what is not. Bring all of your own stuff and if you need anything you can call ahead and let them know, and pay over the phone and they will deliver it to your campsite before you get there. The only thing that you can purchase on site is the firewood bundles. The water is so clear it's amazing and beautiful. I kept thinking I was in a different country! There's so many different hiking options beautiful! I'm definitely looking forward to visiting again!”

“Great little campground! Much smaller “town” than Avalon. Only 1 store and restaurant/bar. Spots are on a hill. Higher ones more secluded, with panoramic views. Lower ones by water, but more foot traffic. Only boat Catalina Express from Long Beach. Each has a picnic table, fire pit, and metal grill. Snorkeling is a blast. Summer sells out easily. They deliver wood which is nice, because it’s 1/4 mile from stores and dock, so be prepared to carry your stuff over the hill! Review below, to the left and right of picture is the beach 10 steps away, so kind of misleading. Do your research online before you pick your spot. But the company could do a better job of showing you locations and photos of each spot online. The birds and animals are ruthless. Don’t leave your stuff out!”

“Camped here overnight in October. There was logging going on at the first tier of campgrounds. The seconds tier looks nice. There is an open beach shower on a concrete slab, and plenty of potable water. There were big shade trees over most of the camp sites. BJ01 I think, is closest to the Catalina trailhead from Avalon. We would give five stars but the outhouses were pretty stinky and full of flies.”
