Daisy Farm Campground — Isle Royale National Park

Daisy Farm is such a fantastic place to stay. My boyfriend and I stayed at Daisy Farm while backpacking to Rock Harbor. The campground has a number of shelters and we had no problems finding an available one. There are a few bathrooms a short distance from the shelters but they are a little hard to find the further east you get. The campsite also has a dock with a great view of the lake. We ate dinner out at the beach and spent the afternoon relaxing on the dock, talking to other backpackers. It was such a great and wonderful place to spend time and we loved our stay. Highly recommend staying here if you're on this side of the island, and waking up early to watch the sunrise!

Great place for lake views

Not as many sites located directly on the water, about a 7ish mile hike from Rock Harbor. This is one of the few if only campgrounds on the island with fire rings because of people boating in and fishing. Quite a few tent shelters. Can get crowded because of the close proximity to the harbor. 

Busy Camp

It’s a very popular and crowded site. Decent vault toilets but the dock and walkouts to the rocky beach make for easy access to the water. After hiking in from West Chickenbone, we were in need of cool swim as the interior of the island can be much warmer than the coast, not to mention the arid conditions throughout making it difficult to find water. 

Having a shelter was a nice enough comfort. The place fills up quickly. It beat staying at Chickenbone but I’d prefer Moskey Basin or Three Mile. 

Easy access to a refreshing dip in the lake

One of the larger campgrounds on the island. Lots of first come sites and most with shelters. The campground was a little bit of a maze to navigate and is a popular base campground as you can stay 3 consecutive nights, so finding room may be a challenge during peak season. There are no fires allowed in the campground so no fire ring provided. There is shore access and a dock, so getting water to filter is fairly easy. Our site had ample trees for hanging some hammocks and was very relaxing to listen to the water while reading a book in the hammock. Vault toilets are provided throughout the campground. One of the prettier campgrounds we stayed at. Squirrels and foxes were spotted here so keep an eye on your food and any trash as they are bold and will approach with you sitting right there.
