“Beautiful Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2013

I have camped at Two Harbors several times in late summer and early fall, arriving by our friend’s private sailboat. You can also reach Two Harbors by the Catalina Express ferry from San Pedro. (75 minute journey) Travel to the campground from the boat landing is via a quarter-mile dirt footpath that ascends uphill slightly. There is a free gear-haul... More

“Awesome camp ground on Catalina island with access to beach and mountains”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012 via mobile

An hour and a half ferry ride from Newport beach, this campground has everything that you could possibly desire. Access to beach and a pristine clear water, hiking trails and everything else.

“GORGEOUS! ADVENTUROUS!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2010

So as you know, its somewhat pricey (and a bit of a hassle) to get to and from the island, but if you are looking for a beautiful, seaside campground to stay at, you've found it! The view is gorgeous, and they offer a lot for you to do! My only problem was that there was a group of college... More

“Most beautiful campground-AMAZING views!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2007

Very Rustic Campground and town, but if thats what your looking for you will LOVE this place. We have been going to Two Harbors for years and love camping and getting away from the misery of LA. You just need to relax and realize everyone is there for the same reason, to party and escape. There is only one bar... More

“loud, loud and loud”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2007

We took our two young children to go camping for two nights. We were happy to get the Tent Cabin near the beach. The others are far up the hill. Eveything seemed great on arrival. Staff was very nice and helpful. We saw the signs on EVERY campsite that said "quiet time 10 pm till 9 am". This means nothing.... More

“Not so great”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2006

My fiance and I recently went to Two Harbors in Catalina and were really looking forward to it but we ended up being very disappointed. The campgrounds were trashed with beer bottles by under age teenagers and we were up until 1am because of all the noise from the party boats in the harbor and the 20 boy scouts screaming... More
