About Lake Whittlesey Campground

Hidden deep within Isle Royale National Park, Lake Whittlesey Campground offers an authentic wilderness escape for paddlers willing to venture beyond the beaten path. This secluded sanctuary on the north shore of Lake Whittlesey rewards adventurous souls with three pristine tent sites, each promising solitude and immersion in nature's untamed beauty. Reaching this remote haven requires dedication—paddle across Wood Lake or Chippewa Harbor, then shoulder your canoe or kayak for a challenging 0.6-mile portage through the forest. Your efforts will be rewarded with a camping experience that few ever discover, where the only sounds are lapping waves and the whisper of wind through ancient trees.
