Hi Penny:
I came back from a solo camping trip on Culebra in early December. You're going to have such a great time! It's absolutely beautiful there and the people are just incredibly generous. Even if you can't get to the market on the first day, the kiosks offer some good food at very reasonable prices. Silva has a Cuban burger that is really good. Match it with a cold beer, and it's pretty much a perfect match.
I flew over so can't speak first hand of the ferry experience. However, I did hear through the campground grapevine that it was pretty chaotic and that, often, the locals are given first dibs on the morning ferry. The flight over was lovely, fast and reasonably priced (less than $120 return as I recall). Plus, it'll get you in nice and early so you can get to the store, even before setting up camp.
While of course always being smart, I never once felt threatened, even as a single female traveler. It was totally fine. Plus you'll meet lots of other campers. Head right down to Section E....really nice there!
