  • Why are the camping dates for 2022 and 2023 inactive?
    • Camping dates for 2022 / 2023 are full.  We are full for the remainder of 2022 and in fact all of 2023.  However, if you sign up for the Email Blast you get first notification of cancelations or added dates.  The next opportunity to make reservations for 2024 comes in when we announce the 2024 dates in February of 2023 to the Email Blast first.  No hype, just truth…cancellations fill within 20 minutes.  The 2024 season will fill, based on history, before the end of March 2023.  Don’t get shut out.  Sign up today.

  • Who owns Marshall Island?
    • The Port of Philadelphia (PhilaPort) purchased Marshall Island and it now a nature conservancy.  Access is by river only.  If you can find a place to actually get permission to go on the island on the PhilaPort website, we wish you luck. The Friends of Treasure Island (FTI) played a role in assisting the PhilaPort, the Natural Lands Trust, Tinicum Conservancy, and the CoLC with the sale of MI and participated in a tour with the parties.
