Campground Overview

About Birch Island Campground

Birch Island Campground offers a rare opportunity to experience the untamed wilderness of Isle Royale National Park from a secluded island outpost. This boat-in campsite provides an intimate connection with Lake Superior's rugged beauty and pristine forests.

The campground consists of a single tent site and one shelter, ensuring a truly private and immersive outdoor experience. Its location near McCargoe Cove on the north side of Isle Royale makes it an ideal base for exploring the island's remote landscapes and observing wildlife like moose and wolves in their natural habitat.

Situated about 13 miles from the nearest mainland port, Birch Island Campground epitomizes backcountry seclusion. The surrounding waters teem with fish, while hiking trails wind through dense forests, offering glimpses of Isle Royale's unique ecosystem. This campground caters to adventurous souls seeking extended wilderness immersion and unparalleled solitude in one of America's least-visited national parks.
