Operated by the National Park Service, this backcountry campground sits along Intermediate Lake within Isle Royale National Park. The site requires boat or seaplane access to reach the island, as no pets are permitted anywhere in the park. Campers must obtain permits and follow Leave No Trace principles for this wilderness setting.
The lakeside location provides water access for paddling and fishing activities. Wood Lake Campground lies 1.9 miles southwest for those exploring multiple sites during their island visit. Advanced planning is essential given the remote island location and limited transportation options.
