If you don't feel like cooking, there is a local pizza joint that will deliver to this island. You can also go the more rustic route and cook over an open flame in the fire pit. Firewood is not provided so grab some on your way. No need to worry about a cooler night besides an outdoor fire, or you could use the heater inside the tent to take away any chill.
