Daisy Farm Campground

About

Daisy Farm Campground sits along the scenic Rock Harbor Channel on Isle Royale, Michigan's remote wilderness island in Lake Superior. As the park's largest campground, it serves as a popular hub for backpackers traversing the island's trail network. The campground lies at the junction of the Rock Harbor Trail, Daisy Farm Trail, and Mount Ojibway Trail, making it an ideal basecamp for day hikes including the climb to Ojibway Tower. The campground offers 25 total sites: 22 individual tent sites and 3 group sites that accommodate parties of 7-10 (advance reservation required, $25 fee). Sixteen three-sided Adirondack-style shelters provide weather protection. Amenities include vault toilets (seasonal), food storage lockers, and non-potable water sources. Campers must bring their own drinking water or treat water from Lake Superior. Only self-contained camp stoves are permitted; campfires are prohibited. Access is by foot along the trail system, by paddle (canoe/kayak), or by private boat. The dock offers 9-foot depth under normal conditions and permits overnight mooring. No ferry service stops directly at Daisy Farm; most visitors arrive via Rock Harbor and hike the 7-mile Rock Harbor Trail. A ranger station operates seasonally. Pets are prohibited throughout Isle Royale.
