Grace Island Campground — Isle Royale National Park

Grace Island sits on the remote waters of Lake Superior within Isle Royale National Park, accessible only by boat or seaplane. The National Park Service manages this backcountry camping area with no pets allowed, maintaining the wilderness character that defines the entire island ecosystem.

Campers must carry all gear from the shoreline to designated tent sites, with composting toilets and food storage lockers provided to protect supplies from wildlife. The island's isolation means no cell service or modern conveniences. For those planning extended stays in the region, camping near Isle Royale National Park includes several other backcountry sites accessible by hiking trails. Advance reservations through the National Park Service are essential, particularly during the brief summer season when ferry service operates.
