About
Bermuda Campsite offers a unique backcountry camping experience on Grand Island, a Congressionally designated National Recreation Area in Lake Superior. The island features 13,500 acres of dense hardwood forest, 300-foot sandstone cliffs, pristine sandy beaches, and historic sites dating back 2,000 years. Access to the island is by passenger ferry from Munising or private watercraft. The Bermuda site is located near Murray Bay and can be reached via a 1.5-mile hike from Williams Landing or by kayaking to Murray Bay beach and walking approximately 75 yards inland. The campsite accommodates up to 6 people in a maximum of 2 tents on a 10x10 foot tent pad. Amenities include a fire ring, picnic table, benches, and bear pole or locker for food storage. Firewood is provided. A vault toilet is located nearby at Murray Bay Day Use Area, along with potable drinking water. Due to its proximity to the Murray Bay group campsite and picnic area, Bermuda may experience more foot traffic and social atmosphere when groups are present. This makes it ideal for campers who enjoy a more sociable setting rather than complete solitude.
Directions
Grand Island is located in Lake Superior, approximately 0.5 miles from Munising, Michigan. Take the Grand Island Ferry from Grand Island Landing on M-28, about 2.5 miles west of downtown Munising (look for Grand Island NRA signs). The ferry docks at Williams Landing. From there, hike 1.5 miles via the island trail system to Bermuda Campsite near Murray Bay. Kayakers can paddle to Murray Bay beach and walk approximately 75 yards to the campsite.
