I just got back from a short camping-trip from Whalen Island. To briefly sum up my experience: I had a great time here; this island is an awesome spot where I will surely come back soon!
Whalen Island and the Clay Myers State Natural Area is a truly great little get-away spot right off the coast -- you can see and hear the ocean from some parts of the island. The camp site is rather small: only a handful of sites at the southern part of the island, one clean and equipped restroom-building, and hospitable and friendly camp hosts. The camp sites are close to each other, but you will still have plenty of privacy; and since it's a smaller camp, it's much more quiet and peaceful than other camps along the coast. The island is beautiful, filled with nature and wildlife. It's a perfect little camp!
