Windigo-Camper Cabins

There are two of these little beauties in the Windigo area so reserve early! The cost is pretty reasonable (was in 2021 at least) and the amenities are pretty extensive, I mean a full sized grill is provided! There is a small and very limited camp store in the area so plan on arriving with most of what you need. There is a small outhouse outside of the camper cabin but there are also really nice restrooms down the hill that have flush toilets, coin operated showers and coin operated laundry facilities. There are also a number of trails in the Windigo area, including the Miniong Ridge and Greenstone Ridge. We stayed here our first night on the island before heading across the island on the Greenstone. 

There are two separate bedrooms, each with a set of bunk beds and a common area with a futon and small table. There is a picnic table outside and a nice Adirondack chair on the porch. The windows and doors have screens so you can get good airflow inside. The electricity is also nice and allowed us to charge headlamps and things prior to our backcountry adventure.
