In February 2018, we hiked from Bark Bay to Akersten Bay and spent a night there. The limited capacity of three tents creates a serene and delightful atmosphere. The restroom facilities are average but acceptable. They offer fresh water, although it's recommended to boil, filter, or treat it before consumption. The campsite is accessible either by foot or by boat.
