My Yellow Pages gives their name as Eastern Long Island Kamp Grounds and their phone number as 631-477-0022. Again, I don't know the off-season conditions, but there is camping at Smith Point Beach on the south shore. Smith Point is essentially between Moriches Bay and the Great South bay, both of which offer somewhat more "protected" paddling than the Sound. I have paddled a lot on Moriches Bay and the eastern end of the Great South Bay and would be happy to answer more specific questions. Since time is short, you can call me at work at 631-344-2378 or at home at 631-758-3284 with specific questions.
