It was a nice place to visit. We went to the South part of the island. 4 hours to walk around goes by quickly. We visited Christian Beach and the stone chair, and with all the activities in between, it was 4 pm already. We booked the 12 pm daytripper, with the return trip at 4:30 pm, so we didn't try any of the longer trails. Mosquitoes were not bad. I got 3 bites, and my kid got 1. So pretty good. Was using lavender oil as mosquito repellant. I think it works. Hiking trails are well maintained. Note there is posion ivy everywhere. Staying on the main trails is a must. There are clean restrooms with showers near the campsites and the visitor center. We saw a few of the rental cabins that are close to the shoreline. Looks clean and comfortable. Campsites are past the visitor center. The sites are fairly close together and close to the main path. This makes for heavy foot traffic and not a lot of privacy. The bay around the dock area had literally hundreds of yachts anchored everywhere, with many tied together as a group, like a big party, that was pretty cool to see. Overall, it was a nice road trip destination. I rated it 4 stars because 4 hours is not a lot of time, and this park is only accessible by boat.
