Good camping area, short hike from Rock Harbour, so it's tough to get a shelter sometime if a lot of people go there from boats at same time.
Great place to spend the night on way in or way out of Rock Harbor. Highly recommend Tobin Bay Trail rather than Rock Harbor trail for access. A little longer, but much easier and safer if carrying a backpack. Views along both are beautiful.
The first campsite out of Rock Harbor on Isle Royale. Easy 2.7 mile walk. Yes, I understand the irony of the campground being called 3 Mile. Look for shelter 11 or 12.
Busy August had us share a site with dear friends we met on the trail. The dock was quite a social place with easy water access. Busy Rock Harbor was full of boats: not quite the serenity of the West end of the island. Blueberries were plentiful along the trail to the northeast. Great access to the rest of the island and a quick hike back to the Rock Harbor dock from here.
