Best Cabin Camping near Apostle Islands National Lakeshore

161 Reviews

Several cabin options accommodate visitors to Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and surrounding areas. Apostle Islands Area RV park and Camping offers cabin rentals with water access and basic amenities. Sailor Springs Glamping provides cabin accommodations with drinking water, fires allowed, and access to showers and toilets. Clark Cove cabins are more secluded and reservable. Most cabins include picnic tables and fire rings, with varying levels of electrical hookups. "The cabin is absolutely beautiful. Perfect place to be secluded from everything to relax and enjoy the views," noted one visitor about Sailor Springs.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are available throughout the region, with prices and amenities varying by location. Kreher RV Park, Top O' The Morn Resort, and Anchor Inn all provide cabin accommodations with different features. Many cabins permit pets, though policies differ between properties. Peak season typically runs May through October, with most sites requiring advance reservations. Availability becomes limited during summer months, especially on weekends. A camper described the unique cabins at one location as being "on the pond and looked to be very convenient for families with children who want to be in the water most of the time."

Most cabins require visitors to bring their own bedding, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from fully equipped kitchenettes to simple fire rings for outdoor cooking. Several campgrounds provide firewood for purchase on site. Apostle Islands Area RV park and Camping features a small market with basic provisions, while more extensive supplies can be found in nearby Bayfield. For cabins without running water, visitors should plan to bring adequate drinking water. During peak season, ice and wood are typically available for purchase at camp stores.

    Birkie Barn farmstay camper cabin

    Great farm stay near Ashland and Apostle Islands

    I was in the area for a workshop, but wanted a place "out of town" for a peaceful retreat in the evenings. Tom’s homestead is so welcoming, and I loved my cozy cabin. Its the old creamery on a farm, and is equipped with a futon sleeper, comfy chairs, a sink, picnic table and lawn chairs. Tom also has a Bed and Breakfast on the proerty. Tom is so great to talk to, and his property is an old dairy farm on country land with wildlife ponds and miles of trails you can hike or cross county ski. Great birdwatching everywhere! The whole place is  restful and meditative. My little cabin even had an en suite sauna that I hope to try out next time I come! No bathroom in cabin, but you can go inside the host home, and also use the kitchen and family room there. Ashland is about a 15 minut drive, Bayfield about 30 minute drive. Lovely spot to stay, I’ll be back!

    Kreher RV Park

    Love this place

    This is a municipal park, right on the shores of Lake superior. A beautiful little park, with a great playground and a boat launch. Each site has a picnic table fire pit and grill. Water and electric are provided with your $40 a night Lakeside campsite or $35 park campsite. Beautiful grounds very well-kept and very clean! They offer monthly reservations or it is a first come first serve park.

    Presque Isle - Porcupine Mountains State Park

    Gorgeous views and perfect rustic space

    Great rustic campground on the far west side of the state park. One loop is generator free which was wonderful. Easy to get other places in the park. Water pump and vault toilets. Sites are large and level with grass or packed sand and have a picnic table and fire ring. Dumpsters available for trash.

    Copper Falls State Park Campground

    Waterfalls and great sites

    This campground has well spaced sites with electric.   There are two campgrounds, north and south.   The north has water spigots to fill your RV or water bottles and two toilet buildings.   The south has a dump station and water fill.

    There is a playground, ballfield, concession stand and lots of picnic areas.   

    The sites are tucked in the trees for privacy and all have a picnic table and fire ring.   There is also a lake and kayaks available to rent.  There  is a town less than 5 miles away and you can find groceries and gas.

    Wildhurst Campgrounds

    Quiet, convenient, and friendly

    A great campsite just a few minutes from the main highway up the coast of lake superior. There's a bar with a kitchen where you check in to the campsite filled with friendly people, games, and great food. But enough about that, the campsite itself is very private with a spot to park you car, and you are surrounded by trees and bushes for each individual campsite. A fire pit and picnic table can be found at each site. There is potable water, showers, and an outhouse. Ice, firewood, and limited camping supplies are available for purchase at the bar.

    Presque Isle - Porcupine Mountains State Park

    Stunning landscapes

    We camped at Presque Isle in the Porkies for a long weekend in October. The color change was amazing! This campground is rustic with only vault toilets and no hookups. There is a section that allows generators during certain hours of the day, a non-generator area and a few walk-in sites. There are a few sites which are along the cliff side looking down to Lake Superior, we were lucky enough to reserve one of those, site 2. It was a very large site, equipped with the standard picnic table and fire ring. Many of the sites back up to the woods, which were smaller and a little soggy while we were there. This campground is one of two in the park, Union Bay is the other more modern campground located right on the lake. The sites there are much smaller and crowded. I prefer the more remote Presque Isle campground by far. Less amenities but far less people. The hiking throughout this park is unparalleled in its beauty. The campground is close to the Presque Isle river trail which is waterfall after waterfall. The park has a ski lift we rode to check out the views from the top of the mountain, as well as an 18 hole disc course. It’s the hiking and rugged beauty of the area that is the main attraction, especially catching the fall colors surrounding Lake Superior.

    Perfect destination to camp by kayak

    We kayaked to many campgrounds and islands in the national lakeshore. paddling a total of 60 miles we were able to make it to 3 different island campgrounds. Bathrooms and picnic tables were at most camp sites, some camp sites were very desolate and rustic. No running water on some islands.

    Apostle Islands Area RV park and Camping

    Great woodsy location close to town

    Loved this location. 1.5 miles out of Bayfield, yet great outdoorsy feel with decent privacy. Can bike to the brewery or wineries and bike to town. Common area great for corn hole and a meager playground for the kids. Also super close to the gourmet garage bakery. Yum.
