Kathleen,
We called a camping store on the mainland today for this very reason. We're trying to decide which backpacking stove to bring with us from Maine in January. The guy @ Acampa said that Coleman Fuel is widely available, but iso-butane canisters (for a Pocket Rocket) are not. With this information, we plan to bring the Whisperlite with an empty fuel bottle and fill it down there. I was fairly certain this would be allowed on the ferries.
Sure does make camping a more cumbersome chore than usual if all these things can only be rented! I'm an experienced backpacker and LNT camper and like to have my own equipment with me.
