Siskiwit Bay Campground

About

Siskiwit Bay Campground occupies a scenic position on Isle Royale's remote southwest shore, tucked into a protected bay along Lake Superior. The campground serves as a key stop on the popular Feldtmann Loop, sitting at the junction of the Island Mine and Feldtmann Ridge Trails. Boaters can access the site via a dock with 2-6 feet of depth under normal conditions and may overnight at the dock. The campground provides nine total sites: six individual tent sites available first-come, first-served, and three group sites that require advance reservation for parties of seven or more. Two shelters offer an alternative to tent camping. Amenities are minimal but include seasonal composting toilets and food storage lockers. Water from on-site sources is non-potable and must be treated before drinking. All trash must be packed out. Fires are permitted only in the community fire ring; backpacking stoves are required otherwise. Pets are prohibited throughout Isle Royale. A 3-night consecutive stay limit applies from June 1 through Labor Day. All overnight visitors must obtain a permit, which is free for parties of six or fewer.
