Summary
There are no reservations, but a Michigan Recreation Passport is required. Campsites include fire rings and picnic tables; amenities are minimal with vault toilets and no drinking water available—campers must bring their own. RVs are allowed but there are no hookups. This is a great spot for paddling, fishing, and enjoying solitude. Scenic and remote, it's ideal for nature lovers. Visit mid-May through mid-October for the best weather and access. Nearby attractions include Pictured Rocks and the Lake Superior shoreline.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
