Accessible by private boat or ferry, Watch Hill Family Campground is located directly across the Great South Bay from Patchogue, and the campground is a 1/4-mile walk from the ferry dock. The family campground is within walking distance of visitor center, marina, general store, ocean beach (lifeguarded during summer months), showers and bathhouse, nature trails, and Otis Pike Fire Island High Dune Wilderness. The Watch Hill campground has 26 tent sites and one group campsite. Most sites have a sandy base, so you’ll need appropriately long tent stakes. There is one universally accessible site on a raised platform. Pets on a leash are allowed in the campground and on ferries and water taxis.
