Campground Overview

About Malone Bay Campground

Malone Bay Campground offers an isolated wilderness experience on the rugged southern shore of Isle Royale National Park, where pristine Lake Superior views, dense forests, and rocky coastlines create an unparalleled backdrop for adventurous campers.

This remote campground features five rustic shelters and two group sites, providing a base for exploring the island's untamed beauty. The campground's location at the end of the Ishpeming Trail opens up diverse hiking opportunities, while its proximity to Lake Superior and inland waterways makes it ideal for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing enthusiasts.

Situated on the southern edge of Isle Royale, Malone Bay Campground is accessible only by foot, boat, or seaplane, emphasizing its off-the-grid appeal. The area boasts unique geological features, including pinkish conglomerate beaches and abundant lichen-covered rocks, offering a distinct visual landscape rarely found elsewhere in the region.

Campers can enjoy the tranquil sounds of nearby Siskiwit Falls, observe diverse wildlife, and indulge in bountiful wild berry picking during summer months. The campground serves as an excellent starting point for backpacking trips along the Greenstone Ridge Trail or as a serene destination for those seeking an immersive multi-day Isle Royale experience.
