North Manitou Island Backcountry Campsites

Acres of pure wilderness

Plenty of history and wilderness on this reclusive island of Sleeping Bear National Forest. NO ACCOMMODATIONS. NO FIRES PERMITTED. NO TRACE CAMPING. Do some research before hand. Rumor is there are iconic sites not on the maps provided. Great fishing on the inland lake. Southern portion near cemetery and cabin is desert like and debatable if it’s worth it. Island is 7 miles across but worth the truck. Ferry or boat required.
