The cute Island Fox is native to the Channel IslandsBack at my campsite later that afternoon, I was able to get acquainted with the diverse group of human residents at the campground.
The 15 sites were filled with several obviously partnered couples, two surfers, several nature lovers, and two other single campers (both women).
The best site was taken by two older gay men who told me they and their friends had been coming to the island for years, and rarely stayed for anything less than a week.
Using a small travel wagon, they had packed enough items collectively to turn their wind shelter into a veritable tiny house, with a fully functional kitchen, hanging lights, wall decorations and art, and more.
