About Moskey Basin Campground

Deep within Isle Royale National Park lies Moskey Basin Campground, a hidden sanctuary where wilderness whispers through ancient forests and pristine waters lap against rocky shores. This remote haven, reachable only by foot trail, paddle stroke, or private vessel, rewards adventurous souls with six rustic shelters nestled along the basin's edge. A sturdy dock extends into waters that plunge 8 feet deep under normal conditions, welcoming kayakers and boaters who navigate these untamed channels. Here, far from civilization's clamor, visitors discover the profound solitude and breathtaking vistas that have drawn wilderness seekers to this northern refuge for generations.
