Rock Island is a real gem. The ferries to the island make the trip there an experience in and of itself. The island is beautiful with loads of history as well as natural beauty.

All sites are hike-in, with the backpack-designated sites (A-D) being about a mile hike from the ferry dock. The backpack sites are all right on the water, in a beautiful stand of cedars on the SE corner of the island. Camping on Rock Island is refreshing for Wisconsin, as more campers are aiming for an experience in nature than that of a weekend-long tailgate party.
