Catalina trip planning

[dwest]

My buddy Steve has a 30-foot or so power boat and will be the mothership for the trip.

Anybody know if there is camping on the back side of Catalina at Little Harbor (next to Shark Harbor) or Silver Canyon Landing? I think the rest of the way around the island there are suitable campsites / anchorages.

Assuming Steve brings his boat for the whole trip, I may just "camp" on his boat. It may be that he will only be able to provide escort service to and from Catalina, though.
