About Birch Island Campground

Tucked away at the mouth of McCargoe Cove on Isle Royale's windswept northern shore, Birch Island Campground offers an intimate escape into true wilderness solitude. This hidden gem welcomes adventurous paddlers and boaters with just one individual tent site and a rustic shelter, creating an exclusive backcountry experience. Your vessel can rest safely in the protected waters, with overnight docking available at a comfortable 5-foot depth under normal conditions—perfect for those arriving by canoe, kayak, or private boat after a day exploring Lake Superior's crystalline waters.
