Accessible only by boat or seaplane, Caribou Island Campground sits on a small island within Isle Royale National Park. The National Park Service maintains this backcountry site with a large lean-to shelter that accommodates multiple campers and a pit toilet. One reviewer notes this location as one of the few spots in the park where campfires are permitted. No pets are allowed at any Isle Royale camping areas. The island's compact size means campers share the communal shelter, making this spot better suited for those comfortable with group camping arrangements. For additional backcountry options, consider campgrounds around Isle Royale National Park.
