Catalina Camping

Two nights at Parson’s Landing.

Took an 8AM ferry from San Pedro, Ca to Two Harbors. From there it’s a 7.3 mile hike to the Paraon’s Landing sites which are directly on the beach. Watch for high tides! High tide came 6 inches from my tent.

We opted for a water taxi to Parson”s Landing on arrival day, and hiked it out on the departure day. The hike is along the Trans-Catalina trail and is a fire road a majority of the way with nice views of the coves below.

Packed as light as possible: Northface Stormbreak 2 tent, external frame older pack, and had some dehydrated meals. You can have water and firewood delivered to a locker at the campgrounds which is nice. Between five people I think we went through six or eight 2 gallon jugs.

No shade and no trees so portable beach shade structures are essential. Shorebreak can be rough and snorkeling is great there if that’s your thing 🌞
