About Washington Creek Campground

Tucked into the wild southwest corner of Isle Royale, Washington Creek Campground offers an authentic wilderness escape where ten rustic Adirondack shelters await beneath a canopy of northern forest. This first-come, first-served haven sits perfectly positioned between the tranquil waters of Washington Creek and the conveniences of nearby Windigo, where the visitor center, dock, and camp store provide a lifeline to civilization. Here, adventurers find the ideal launching point for Isle Royale explorations, with scenic creekside paths beckoning just beyond your shelter door.
