Cook Inlet Region Inc., which owns most of Fire Island and is owned by Alaska Native shareholders from much of Southcentral Alaska, built the $65 million project a decade ago.
There are ATMs on the island, and all of the venues usually accept credit cards, though on occasion (like the 4th of July, for example) the bars go to cash only.
Reservations and a fee are required. Visit www.recreation.gov for more information. There are also opportunities for overnight stays at Smith Point County Park, several bay side marinas, and numerous summer rentals and small hotels within some of the seventeen communities on Fire Island.
