Feldtmann Lake Campground

Stepping onto the rugged shores of Feldtmann Lake, campers find themselves immersed in the untamed wilderness of Isle Royale National Park, where solitude, pristine nature, and a true backcountry experience converge.

This remote inland campground offers a handful of primitive sites nestled along the western edge of Feldtmann Lake, providing an intimate connection with the island's unspoiled landscape.

Its strategic position allows for multi-day treks through Isle Royale's varied terrain, connecting visitors to the island's rich natural and cultural history. The lack of boat access ensures a quiet, contemplative atmosphere, making Feldtmann Lake an ideal destination for those pursuing genuine backcountry solitude and a deep connection with Isle Royale's wild character.
