- Special considerations
- Recommended
- Convenient to leave the car and choice of direction from the campground. Depending on wind or weather you can travel north or south and stay in protected areas. Britt, on the north side of Byng Inlet, has a couple of small grocery stores and a liquor store. This makes Britt a possible restocking point on a longer trip through the area. The restaurant at Little Britt Inn is good but requires reservations.
