Penikese Island is a very rustic place so campers should bring clothes that are not precious.  Shoes can take a beating, and white colored items - shirts, shoes, or shorts - can get dirty quickly.  Also flip flops are great for around the house but NOT for walking on the paths – please bring sturdy shoes for walking!

​

• Sleeping bag or twin sheets and a blanket (we also have extra clean blankets)

• Pillow & pillowcase
