About Mccargoe Cove Campground

Nestled along the pristine north shore of Isle Royale National Park, McCargoe Cove Campground beckons adventurers seeking an authentic wilderness escape. This remote sanctuary, reachable only by foot, paddle, or private boat, features six rustic shelters and a welcoming dock that extends into waters seven feet deep. Here, far from the crowds that frequent the park's more accessible areas, you'll discover the raw beauty of Lake Superior's largest island in peaceful solitude.
